Aug 12, 2009 Tap at Naked City! I have not rated that many sours, so please forgive me. Pungent fruity and sour aroma. A slight brett like aroma as well. Nice aroma. Very pungent aroma. Translucent orange in appearance. Has a nize haze look to it. Wow, this sucker is very sour at first, but then mellows to a slight fruit/sour combination. A very smooth beer, and very tastey. As I said I am new to the sour stuff, so after some experience I will re-rate.

Nov 11, 2007 Updated: Apr 29, 2009Jesus this is good stuff.
Aroma is all citrus and funk.
Taste is very similar with somewhat vinegary notes, but that is in the end-notes more than anythings.
Just a very solid beer and thirst-quenching.
To go into more detail, I get a lot of lemon rind out of the beer, a huge bret character, and a slight bitterness from the yeast profile.
Very, very good.

Vinegar has dropped off. Nice brett and barnyard still.
Spritzy, yeasty, bretty, lemony.
Finishes dry.

Aug 15, 2009 Updated: Aug 17, 2009Batch 3. 375ml. Courtesy of cloudskipper. Golden color with a real thick off-white head and a nice foam remains on top until the last drop. Wow, what a great aroma, champagne, brett, chardonnay, lemon, yeast, flowers, nice nose. Flavors are tart, acidic and sour with a wonderful bretty dry numbing. Chardonnay and oak does show in the flavor with lemon, grapes and a bit of funk. What an amazing beer. Kudos to Vinnie for brewing this and to Chris for hooking me up!

Jul 22, 2007 Light yellow and cloudy with a huge white head. I lost over half the bottle to the violent eruption that occurred moments after the cork was out. Nice dusty nose with some acidic qualities. The flavour is really great and has some light woody notes with a white wine like quality more so than beer. the brett is subtle and leaves a nice mark on this beer. Very nice drinking.

Jul 17, 2005 I had this at Belgium Comes to Cooperstown 2005 and the guy from Santa Rosa explained to me how they use a chardonnay barrel and that was definately evident along with a sour fruity citrusy flavor. The mouthfeel of this one rocked with its effervescence but the sourness as much as I enjoy it keeps me from kicking the score higher. Granted, its a very enjoyable brew nonetheless.

Apr 18, 2007 Bottle at O’Briens. This was a side by side comparrison with Suplication. Temptation wins. Sour apple, with pears, and apricotts. More acidic then RR Suplication, but it works for this style. Russian River does a good job creating strong tasting beers, that continues to impress.

Oct 3, 2005 Gold-orange with an active white head, aroma is fruity sour, yeasty. Flavor is apple, lemony, perhaps a tinge of wood, vinous and tart, somewhat acidic but clean finish. Impressive creation.

Nov 8, 2009 Straw body laced with moderate-high carbonation. Sweet yeast zest, slight mild acidity. Creamy with a hearty bread malt component. Light woody notes with a nutty essence. The tartness highlights a Brettano-character which is prominent on the finish. Great drink off tap @ M&V.
