 RSRIZZO (1346), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA
Feb 8, 2009 Color is a hazy orange gold with very active carbonation and a tight, thick white head. Aroma is like a spicy apple cider. Taste is crisp and sour. Starting with light/medium body it goes down crisp with a clean feel. Finish comes on with a sour cider taste and a gentle caramel nutty flavor. After taste is a dry oak bitterness with a faint plastic taste in the back. Overall its ok, I’m just not a big fan of sours. This one has nice smooth flavors so for me its better then others I have had.

Feb 5, 2009 (Bottled, 0.75l) Hazy amber with a very small, but lasting head. Tart, sulphury cherry aroma like in the rest of these brews. Sulphur is clearly present also in the flavor, with dried fruit, cloves, apricot, vinegar, and brettanomyces. Medium-bodied with low to medium carbonation. A pleasant nightcap with vinous sourness.

Feb 1, 2009 750ml bottle, Oct. 2008 batch. Having had this beer several times, I can say it needs at least three months after it’s released to really come into its own. It was released way too young IMO. Moving on, it pours a really beautiful glowing, reddish honey with a pillowy beige head. Awesome. Gorgeous, vintage Jolly Pumpkin nose - softly-integrated brett, sour tropical fruits, and of course oak. The flavor is vinous, subtle, and refreshing. There is not that burst of flavor you might expect though. This could be a phenomenal beer if the flavors were more pronounced. I still really like it.

Jan 24, 2009 0.75 l bottle at Konttori, Tampere. Hazy copper to amber color with creamy head. Horsey aroma with strawberry, grapefruit, star anise, red wine and hints of nuts. Horsey, oaky and gently spicy flavor with strawberry and red wine. Some tannins and warming alcohol. Nice complex beer.

Jan 20, 2009 750 ml bottle from Capones. Pours a a brownish/orange with a small to average fizzy whiteish head. Aroma is phenomenal, super funky with notes of brett, cherries, wood, lemon zest, barnyard. Medium body with a fizzy mouthfeel that dies down as this one is allowed to breath for awhile. Flavor is very washed out compared to the strong aroma but the funkiness comes through with some hints of wood and fruit. If the flavor stood up to the aroma this would have been a top ten beer for me but regardless it is still a great beer.
