Mar 10, 2009 Crushed with Jakebra and co. Big thanks to the dude who bought it. This one is just plain awesome. Another sour from Russian River that I could sit and sip on all day and all night. Just beautiful.

Mar 10, 2009 Graciously poured a hazy yellow from the bottle by nubutler11. Color is a deep golden yellow. Aroma is big and thick - tart apple, champagne, citrus, faint apricot; very fruity overall. Flavor is what I expect a sour to be - heavy with fruit, dry notes of champagne, big carbonation. Not super-complex, just an overwhelming and pleasing impression of tart tangerine champagne.

Mar 9, 2009 Wow. I usually am not much on sours but this takes the cake. Easily on of my best in a long time! Poured in a wine glass. Had to share the bottle with the missus. Cloudy yellow pour with a fizzy head. Funky aroma. Tastes like a funky sour white wine with some citrus. I want more!

Mar 8, 2009 Bottle shared with MatSciGuy - Pours a cloudy light amber - a lively beer with lots of carbonation behind it. The head itself does not last but the lacing hangs on for dear life. Sour apple, chardonnay lemon mixed and some sweaty aroma. Tastes like it smells-a complex blend. Light and spritsy on the tongue with a dry finish.

Mar 8, 2009 [Bottle] The second I loosened the cork, the pressure forced it out, and the bottle gushed just a little, but no beer lost. Pours a hazy gold with a large, effervescent white head. Aroma is lots of lactic tartness, earthy brett, maybe a touch of white wine character, horsey, lemony, and funky. Flavor is lactic tartness, lemon and other citrus, funky brett, and nice dry chardonnay. Very light, crisp mouthfeel and a very dry finish with lingering tartness.

Mar 7, 2009 Rating #500. Bottle acquired via trade with WeeHeavySD. Pours a hazy apricot color with a frothy white head that leaves plenty of sugary lacing. Looks gorgeous. Smells of chardonnay and underripe fruit. Agressive with the flavors of tangerines and yellow cherries in the taste. Finishes like a dry champagne. Worth celebrating in its own right.

Mar 2, 2009 Bottle from Batch 3...
Pours a beautiful cloudy golden color with a hugh fluffy white head, it looks like a cloud.
The aroma coming from the beer is amazing - sour apples, lemons, wild cherries, horse blanket brett, oak and small hits of chardonnay...wow this is great.
The flavor is equally amazing...sour apple, lemon sourness, wet oak, chardonnay flavors...its sour but not too sour at all a nice crisp dry finish.
The mouthfeel is wonderful...nice carbonation, nice sour profile.

Mar 1, 2009 The Temptation pours a very hazy orange/yellow color with a nice thick and sparkling head.
The first few sips of this beer definitely reminds you that it has been aged in Chardonnay barrels for an extended period of time and then you get the sour that is trademark RR.
