Bottle pour is redish brown with minimal carbonation and a faint head. Aromas of barnyard funk and a mellow oak. Massive tartness up front, jaw clenching sour yet not dry like the other superb lambics/wilds. A mild sweetness gives way to cherries and oak. This is phenomenal - Russian River's best and one of the best sours around. Age does this well too, creating even more tartness but not losing the cherries/oak.

Yes. This. Very generous sample from #KnoxBeerCrew tasting. Murky amber orange pour, creamy head, very ample lacing. Slight tart and sweet cheery nose, some red wine, then the funk and tartness hits, nearly acidic but still mild enough to stick your nose in the glass and really enjoy, ripe apple and pears, whiskey, spices and peppers, just magnificent - the flavor wraps around the tongue hitting all of your taste buds. Exquisite flavor - tart and zesty, funky and flavorful, ripe grapes, very slight cherries, bubbly, sour then sweet again... A real treat. This one WAS on my Wish List. It will remain on it. A fantastic beer.

Raaaahh! Thanks John for sharing this awesome brew with us. Easily my favorite of the 3. Pours a bright, clear orange. Huge white head that seems to never go down. Aroma is tart cherry, ripe raspberry, mango and caramel. Taste is similar, more tartness, sharp spicey/sour blend that is absolutely intense. My notes from yesterday say "has anyone ever put a raspberry inside of a cherry inside of an orange inside of a grapefruit?" a fruit sandwich! Whatever that means. Great beer nonetheless.

This was alot better than I had expected, Russian River is so hyped! Little to no carbonation, expected. Smell is obviously sour cherries, but it has nuances all over the place. Nuances like wet pine bows, desert grasses, peach, apricot, kiwi (maybe), belgian-esque yeast, stone, and more. Copper brown in colour, fairly clear, only a touch of sediment in my bottle, tried to get it in the glass but there wasn't much to have.... Taste is much like the smell. I've had rodenbachs grand cru a couple of times, and this is a more palatable sour for me. Medium in body at best, bursting with beery tea like flavours and textures. Not syrupy even one bit. Slight biscuit, incredibly dry, mouth watering dry, mouth waterfalling dry, mouth ocean creating dry. Awesome. I would drink this weekly if I could, best sour I have had to date.

Can’t wait!!!! Been wanting to have this one for a very long time!! Crystal clear honey brown but then we through in the muck from the bottom of the bottle and now its murky. Aroma is funky SOUR!! White wine, oak, hidden sour cherry, more funk. Oh man this smells neat. Taste is sourfull………like biting into raw lemon wedge sour. Taste is very similar to the aroma, oak, funk, wine, cherry, lemon, more stuff. This was an awesome sour!!! Thanks for sharing Jeff.

Had side by side Consecration and Supplication and neither was a dissapointment. They are called wild ales but they are so much more complex than that, as others have said, very wine-like. A good showing for sure, perhaps a little pricey but worth a shot if you can find them.

I had this beer as part of a 14 beer sampler at the Russian River Brew Pub on 14 July 2011. I also had a full glass of this and got a bottle to go. This beer was AMAZING - the barrel aging added a LOT of character to this fantastic beer. I cannot wait to have my bottle - it's aging and improving every day. A SPECTACULAR beer.

Batch 006X2. Corked popped off with force. Pours a nice ruby color with a moderate white head. Aroma of sweet and tart cherries with great vanilla cream. I've been drinking a lot of sour ales by Cascade recently and it's nice to try something that's definitely different. Although this one has a much more subtle aroma, I really like the vanilla and wine grape. The beer is a very mouth puckering, medium bodied and well carbonated delight. Well balanced. Not too sweet or dry, with a lingering fruit finish. Very nice. I wish I could get ahold of more Russian River beers.
