Jan 7, 2009 Updated: Jan 28, 2009bottle thanks to Secret Santa. Batch 3. Pours a faded orange with a huge white head. Nose was of sour lemon. Taste was of sweet, sour apples. Mouthfeel was tart and dry with lots of carbonation. OK, I’ve been trying to get into the sour craze, but just didn’t see it until now. This one was not extremely sour and had plenty of good taste other than just sourness. Of the sour beers I’ve had this one is the best. This one may have converted me. Liked it a lot.

Sep 18, 2005 Bottle, pours hazy buttery yellow - I think I got the yeast shot at the bottom. Tart lemony and a little floral aroma. Citrusy and spiced flavors, a little oak, and some strong wine characters. Very acidic and tart. Some funk in there too. I liked this, but this would be hard for me to drink a lot of - just a bit too acidic.

Sep 5, 2009 Pours a light orange with a medium white head. Aroma is of sour fumes, white wine fumes, and fumes. Flavor is a little more elegant: The fruitiness here actually differentiates it from the other 500 Russian River sours. Other than that it’s just another sour. Medium body/mouthfeel. Overall good.

Jan 24, 2007 Bottle courtesy of ross. 375mL, batch 2. Hazy yellow pour with a dense foamy white head. Smells of white grapes, lemon, orange zest, grassiness, and a touch of candi sugar, oak, brett, and some Belgian yeast. Brett sourness is very dominant in the flavor with more white grapes and oak and a hint of candi sugar on the finish. Medium body with a very dry finish.

Mar 8, 2009 [Bottle] The second I loosened the cork, the pressure forced it out, and the bottle gushed just a little, but no beer lost. Pours a hazy gold with a large, effervescent white head. Aroma is lots of lactic tartness, earthy brett, maybe a touch of white wine character, horsey, lemony, and funky. Flavor is lactic tartness, lemon and other citrus, funky brett, and nice dry chardonnay. Very light, crisp mouthfeel and a very dry finish with lingering tartness.

May 20, 2007 Huge thanks to boboski for sharing this one with all of us at the Orlando gathering.
Batch 1. Been looking forward to trying a Russian River brew for a very long time. Pours a cloudy golden body with an off white head. Medium retention and nice lacing. Aromas of yeast, sour cherries and raisins, oak, acidic notes, and some funkiness. Flavor is all of the above, blended together nicely. Palate is dry, with medium carbonation. Finish is sour and dry, but not overpowering. Great brew.

Brett. and again with the dusty funkiness. Palate: Medium-light bodied. Medium-high carbonation. Overall: Great beer. Lots of Brett character tied in with the oak and wine flavors.

Aug 7, 2008 Pours a pale yellow color with a tall effervescent white head with strong retention. The aroma is close to a fruity white wine, a bit acidic, with tropical fruit notes and a touch of dusty, funky brett. The flavor is lightly sour, a bit vinous, and touch of cheese rind. After a few minutes it really opens up and the tartness as well as the fruit come through. Light on the palate, and warming with alcohol.
