Aug 6, 2008 From bottle at Lost Abbey. Pours hazy yellow to orange with a lacing white head. Dense orange fruity and light brettish dry aroma. Flavour is tart to smooth fruity orange. Brett dry too. Good balance and still very flavourful/fruity. Dry and tart finish with a persisting fruity note.

Dec 17, 2007 Sampled at the second annual Bistro’s West Coast Barrel Aged Beer Fest: Pours a hazy goldenrod with a frothy, well-lacing white head. Aroma of tart sweet lemon and some earthy oak complexity along with notes of olive oil. Body starts semi-sweet with some funky earthy complexity and faint vegetal character toward a tart, slightly puckering finish. Has some mild earthy peachskin flavor throughout. Pretty interesting.

Aug 6, 2008 Bottle… RBSG ‘08… This beer rocks!… Hazy golden ale with a small, creamy, white head. Acidic, peppery aroma. Medium to full-bodied with modest carbonation. Very sour… just enough residual sugar to keep my lips from puckering and my eyes from clenching shut. Finishes tart and fruity, then dries out. Liquid fun. A joy to drink!

Nov 19, 2007 Tasted on tap at the 2007 Bistro West Coast Barrel Aged Beer Festival. This sour ale pours a light yellow orange gold color. Small sized white foamy head. Aroma is fruity and tart with lots of peach flavors. A medium bodied sour ale. The malts are fruity and sweet. Lots of subtle peach flavors. It fairly tart and crisp and sort of bretty, but is has a nice sweetness to it as well. Nice beer. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is fairly tart.

Aug 11, 2008 Bottled at Lost Abbey, 2007 bottle. Poured just about clear medium golden with a short, fizzy cap of white head. The aroma was powerful with tart peach skins and lesser apricot upfront and a fresh, spicy oak impression supporting it.. very assertive. The flavor found bracingly tart peach skins that singed the tip of the tongue for an initial impression.. some meaty peaches rolled in behind along with a second hit of acidity (vinegar and more peach skins).. engaging throughout. Lots of lip-puckering sourness on the palate along with light scratchy bitterness and zesty wheat.. long, bone-dry, memorable finish. Excellent!
