Jan 4, 2006 Updated: May 13, 2008May ’08 rating. 3L bottle shared by Blake. Hazy orange body, small white head. Horsey, grapefruit rind aroma. The flavor adds a nicely complex acidity to a basic pale malt base. Very good stuff - it has a complex acidity instead of the usual one-dimensional sourness found in most American sour ales.

Bottle, 5/05 batch. Pours a clear dark golden body with a big foamy head that dies down ot a thin creamy layer. Nice lacing. Great aroma - hits two distant points of the flavor spectrum with powder sugar and acidic grapefruit and silage unified by light wood. Lambic-y tartness but nowhere near as complex or strong. Straight-up acidity over pefumy, floral light malt. The beer deserves a good score but doesn’t excite me a whole lot.

Feb 8, 2009 Bottle. Pours bright cloudy gols with a white head. The aroma is fruity, almost wheaty?, with a light tartness. The flavor has a nice light tart fruity base, citrus and light vinous notes, just a touch of oak, and nicely restrained brett. Very drinkable. A definite winner in my book.

Mar 9, 2003 Very deep glowing gold color. Medium white head. Great aroma-yeasty,spicey and fruitlike. Oranges, grapefruits, honey, vinegar and caramel all get it on and you end up with a nice brew, slight hops.

Nov 27, 2008 Bottle: Dusty blonde/golden color with a large, frothy white head. Thick sheets of lacing. Smells fruity with sweet and tart notes. Ciderlike with just a hint of barrel aging. Flavor is very tart with a little sweetness. Dry and a little more of the oak. Ciderlike finish with a lingering mouth puckerin bitterness. Very nice. Thanks Shyam.

Dec 11, 2006 375ml Bottle. Batch 002. Pours out a yellowish orange color with a little bit of a white head. Smell is sour, with some notes of wine, fruits, and a touch of hops. Taste is sour and slightly bitter with a nice bready oak flavored taste. A truly unique beer in all sense of the word. Very interesting, should be fantastic in another year. Great beer from a great brewery!

Jun 15, 2003 Updated: Nov 4, 2003GABF: multiple samples. Some honey and melon in the nose, barrel yeast, wet basement molds -- this all very good. Wow this beer has improved. Lush with subdued hops. Very cleanly alcoholic -- no fusels. No big bad fruit esters. This is delicious!

May 18, 2006 Hazy golden colour with a medium sized off white head with nice sized bubbles. Great yeasty, oaky, tart, fruity aroma with hints of citrus and apple characteristics. Flavour was tart and slightly sour with lots of citrus, apple, brett and quite bubbly as well. Even a touch of butter on the finish like a fine chardonnay. My favourite from RRB so far.
