Tap @ Belmont Station... Poured a vibrant golden with a thick, white head that retained a decent size throughout enjoying this tasty beverage. Aroma was wildly funky and yeasty with fruits and spices. The Bret was brilliant in this one. Palate was perfect with that usually dryness from a sour and was very refreshing. Flavors of grains and lots of fruits -- lemon citrus, very sweet with spices -- almost like anise. This beer was like liquid candy, bretty and tangy.

Dec 6, 2009 appearance is a murky golden with three finger head and excellent lacing. Nose- sweet white grapes, lemon rinds. Taste- champagne like carbonation, blast of white grape sharpness and green apple sourness. Has a wood/ mineral like dryness to the finish. Really dries out the mouth. Having had the previous two batchs, the brett is definitely more prounounced each time out. Great stuff

Nov 24, 2009 Pale yellow tall white head. Aroma is briney and sour. The flavour is almost sickeningly sour. Long dry finish, and very slty. Interesting, but i’m not sure i would drink it again.

Nov 23, 2009 From bottle : I’ve been waiting for this. Pours a light golden color, with tons of bubbles, and a massive head. Tons of lace around the glass as the head slowly falls. Sour aroma with some grassy hops. Taste is fantastic. Crisp at the beginning with a sour middle. The end fades very well into a very nice aftertaste. Medium body with some carbonation. Again, the finish is very nice. I love sours....and this baby didnt disappoint.

Nov 17, 2009 Bottle sample from FoBAB. Pour is lightly hazy yellow with a fairly large white head. Aroma is acidic, lots of wood, chardonnay, brett, and some grassy notes. Flavor is bretty/ funky up front with the woody chardonnay notes coming up shortly after that. Really thin mouthfeel, at least compared to DDG which I had just tasted. Solid sour, but a little thin and not quite as much complexity as I was hoping.

Nov 15, 2009 rating #900. Bottle from trade with wavers1- thanks! batch 004x1. pours a hazy golden yellow with a white head. leaves some decent lace. Aroma is lemon, grassy hops, herbs, pear, some light funkiness. flavor is lemon, grapes, bread, musty basement. beers don’t get much more crisp and refreshing than this. I’m not a big fan of blonde ales in general, but this is awesome. extremely well balanced. just an all around well crafted beer. Russian river is tight. I gotta move out to santa rosa!

Nov 9, 2009 Bottle courtesy of tampabrew. Pours a hazy yellow color with thin white head. Aroma is sweet and floral with notes of honey, citrus, vinegar, overripe cherries, yeast, some hints of caramel and grass. Flavor is about the same. Medium body with a fruity finish.

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.
