Jul 12, 2009 Several samples at the RBSG Beer Dinner! Nose of blackberries, red wine, light funkiness mixed with moderate tartness. Murky brown with a medium beige head. Flavor is tart yet sweet, berries, yeasty grain, and an oaky red wine finish! Excellent!

Sep 20, 2009 Sampled during RBSG 7/10/2009 at the beer dinner. This BSA/sour (?) pours a medium orange gold color from the bottle. Small sized white foamy head. The aroma is tart fruit, tropical and funky. Medium bodied. The malts are fruity and sweet. The hops are citrusy. Bretty, funky and tart, yet balanced with hints of pineapple, pomegranate and ... Nice balance. Good carbonation. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

Jul 30, 2009 Bottle 65 cl. Pours a cloudy - almost muddy - orangey brown with a small off-white head. Extremely delicious aroma of overipe fruit and wood. Medium body, caramel, intense fruit accents - dried fruit and overripe fruit. Lots of wood and a tart but not that sour finish. Really yummy. 100709

Jul 11, 2009 Pour from the RBSG beer dinner--thank you Steve! Clear auburn caramel with a small beige head, fading to a ring. Lactic acidity and red wine atop dry oak, brown sugar, and some figs. The flavor opens up with some dark fruit/ raisiny notes and tangy cherry, light tobacco, mod caramel sweetness. Dry finish, sourness @ a 4-5. Medium-full body with light prickly carbonation. Lovely beer. Keep it up Steve!

Oct 25, 2009 Bottle. What a nice brew! Pours a copper gold body with an off white head. Sour grape and cherry notes, funky plum and a vinous body. Chewy toffee with a funky brett character and a tart lush body. This was fantastic!

Jul 21, 2009 Sampled at the 2009 Stone Sour Festival. Valley brew wins my vote for best brewery for the day. I was excited to try this one as the 2007 last year was outstanding. It seems its a different style which appears to be on purpose. I always like Cabernet Sauvignon barrel aged beers. This was no exception. Outstanding fruit and sour flavors. Exceptional brew!
