Bottle courtesy of Odeed, and holy smokes, RR does it again, a super duper thanks, Jacob!!! Pour is shazy sparkling golden in color, light sediment gently suspended in the body, quite nice looking. The aroma is inviting, grapes tease the nose, bretty aspects guard against the novice or sweet tooth and any sloppy indulgence. The wheaty notes underneath (no idea if there really is wheat in this thing) make this a wonderfuly refreshing scent to the nostrils. The flavor is as good and complete as the aroma, finely soured, light yeast accompanying all of the nose qualities, lemons accenting every sip, and a wonderful gentle touch of some oak to round everything out. Mouthfeel is significantly carbonated with light acidity, so very nice under all the other sensory joys, probably far more complex than I could pick up in this single tasting, perhaps I should seek out more? Thanks, Jacob, just let me know if you have other RR bottles you're looking to move for something out East here. And, Bert, a great one to have shared with ya!

Hazy yellow colour, small white head. Aroma is very sour fruits and some slight yeast. Amazingly Cantillonish thing. The flavour is is quite the same as aroma, but has some really big similarities to white wine. Oh yeah! This kicks ass!

A big thanks to cquiroga for bringing this beer to the Woodshop tasting at Stuffed Sandwich in San Gabriel, CA. It poured a clear golden color. The flavor was dry & tart

Poured a hazy amber color with a small, white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of sweet grapes, funky, barnyardy, citrus, and toffee. Taste of more grapes, citrus, melon, with sweet toffee, vanilla, and a lingering sour finish. Awesome, beer, on par with Temptation and Supplication.

Pours with a golden-orange body with amazing clarity topped by a meidum thick, white head with some lacing. It’s tart and vinious with an underlying sweetness, notes of lemon and an oaky undertone. Light bodied, dry and crisp.

Tasted on tap at the 1st Annual Bistro Barrel Aged Festival. He blonde ale pours a light gold color. Medium sized white foamy head. Aroma is fruity, horse blanket and bretty. A medium bodied golden ale. Malts are fruity and sweet. Funky and oaky. And then its bretty and funky. Lots of oak tannins and then a lot of tartness. Crisp and dry. Nice beer. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet and funky.
