kinda disappointed with this series of Russian River sours. i’d like more sour mash complexity than these are offering.

Bottled Jan 2014. Intensely tart but well-balanced and good complexity. Super-tropical but dry.Passionfruit and nectarine pit notes. Great carbonation given the age.

Slightly tart and musky, with notes of grapefruit pith. Delightful!

Delish. Funky sour with Tenderloin urine and ever so slight underlying gummy candy sweetness. Mad $$$ though.
