Jul 25, 2005 Updated: Jan 7, 2006On tap at Hollingshead Deli During the RR beertasting, I figured I’d get my least favorite out of the way first, Way too sweet for me, but, I’m not a fan of white wine at all, so it wasn’t a suprise that I didn’t care for it, not terrible by any means, good, but not my style, if this is my least favorite Russian River brew, they’re doing a damn good job!

Aug 21, 2009 Bottle with thanks to Kan. Pours a massive head with a little bit of cloudy gold liquid at the bottom of the glass. Aromas are fabulous... a lot of sour and funk (lemons, barn, oak, maybe some white pepper or something, etc.) Flavor is more of the same, with lots of oak and funk and lemon. It’s pretty light on the palate with lots of carbonation and refreshingness. Yum!

Jun 19, 2008 sampled batch 3 with the phoenix crew... pours a cloudy pale orange with a vigorous white head. smells tart from across the room!... champagne, champagne vinegar, woody dryness, yeast, sour cream, lemon zest, mineral/flint/stone, blood and rust. medium body with an airy mouth feel from the soft carbonation. the flavor is the same and doesn’t disappoint. the oak and funk really shine. this walks a fine line between too much malt and not enough... really well done...

Jan 4, 2007 Courtesy boboski. Deep orange in color, slightly hazy, sparse thin white head. Aroma is fantastic - reminiscent of a lambic, but has a sweet, less aggressive edge to it. Palate is medium to thin which makes this very drinkable. The sourness is present in the taste, but is not overpowering. The sourness combines with oak flavors and finishes dry. A unique, drinkable beer.

Jan 31, 2009 Updated: Jul 13, 2009Re-rate 6/09: Bottle sample. Thanks Yafit! Slightly hazy golden with a white head. Aroma of fruits, a bit of maltiness and brett. Sour flavor with some citrus, light sweaty notes and faint sweaty notes. Medium-bodied. 8/4/8/4/16=4
Bottle. Batch 003. Cloudy golden color with a white head, one of the largest I’ve ever seen. Lovely aroma of barnyard, citrus and light leathery hints. Wonderful refreshing sour flavor with some white wine character, lots of fresh fruitiness, a bit of citric juice and brett... Mmmm... Brett... Medium-bodied with lively carbonation. Just great. 8/4/8/4/17=4.1

Feb 5, 2006 Beautiful slightly hazy golden-orange with a white head. Aroma of white wine, light brett/funk, champagne, lemon and slight alcohol. Pretty dry. Flavor has notes of wood, champagne, lemon, grass, hay, some brett, sourness, sweetness and grapefruit. Ends with a touch of saltiness and citric acidity. Medium bodied with moderate, spritzy carbonation. Very complex and well-put together. And made by an American brewer, very impressive.

Jun 11, 2008 Batch #1 from Sputyen Duyvil. Pours a semi-clear orange with little head. Aroma of funk and sourness. Flavor of oak (very similar to oak-barrel aged Captain Lawrence beers), sour gueuze-like notes, sour apples. The oak is present but not overpowering and balances nicely with the sour notes. Has a strong palate to mesh with the oak barrel. Nice finish. Excellent beer.
