Oct 11, 2005 Updated: Nov 11, 2009Fluffy head; some haze (hazier toward the bottom of the bottle); pale yellow-orange. Spritzy and refreshing. Champagne-like texture. Light and delicate malts balanced by breezy notes of lemon, yeast and light flowers. Somewhat vinous at times. Nice sourness and a pinch of white vinegar gives it a zingy edge. Very pleasant beer.

Jun 4, 2005 Opaque golden - it has that nectar look to it. Say what you want about Vinnie’s beers - they are beautiful to look at. The aroma is bretty, corky, and highly vinous - the most directly winey nose since Stille Nacht Reserva. The flavour is slightly toasty, highly vinous with a puckeringly tart finish. There is a bit of astringency at the back. Leathery, fairly tart finish. Firm pale malts and alcohol support the effort throughout. Kick ass.

Sep 12, 2009 750ml bottle. Astounding aroma, with funky, farmy yeast, floral notes, wood, honeyish sweetness, faint winey tones, grassiness and straw. Light yellow color, cloudy, with a lasting, fine head. Flavor profile is impressive as well, dry, very lightly winey, tart, woody, leafy and gently bitter, in turns. Nicely refreshing palate, very light feel and moderate effervescence, body is medium. Really nice!

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 25, 2008 Bottle@SpontaneousWeekend08. This is abolutely great stuff! Strong powerful aroma of bourbon, malts, apple and light alcoholic. Hazy, yellow color, off-white head, good lace. Sweet, sourish, malty, apple, bitter, very smooth mouthfeel. Great balance. Feels more alcoholic than just 7.25% ABV. Thanks mjames for sharing this!

Sep 15, 2006 Updated: Apr 20, 200812.7 oz bottle from Holiday Wine Cellar: Chill haze golden color with a full off white head. Aroma is acidic and kinda white wine vinegar like. Flavor is fruity, citrus tart up front with some wood and the finish is dry and rather sour/acidic. Medium bodied and champange like with lively carbonation.

Nov 14, 2005 3rd FoBAB. Hazy, golden body with a huge, fluffy white head. White grapes, oranges, warming alcohol, old oak, horseblanket, hay--dry, soothing and terrific. The body is spectacular, with soft, active carbonation that lays on the tongue like a wave of velvet. Cool, bright fruits, light sweetness, excellent Brett character and light woodiness. Tart acidic character comes on as well, leaving that oh-so-cool mouthpucking sensation of joy. What an awesome beer and an awesome experience. Here’s to many more Brett classics from Russian River!

Mar 27, 2007 Huge thanks to Beerdrenched for sharing this great beer, my first Russian River. Pours moderate yellow with a small white head. The aroma is fruity and tart (very brett) with pepper, white grapes and sharp citric lemon - very sweet / tart flavors. Medium / light body with minor sharp carbonation. The taste starts with sharp citric lemon, lots of sour / tart traits, bits of wood and grainy spice. The finish is wonderfully sour and refreshing. Lots of tart goodness. Thumbs up for this fantastic beer.
