Drank 750 ml of Becoming by The Rare Barrel (2015-05-06) | July 4th, 2021 |
2021-07-04 Coming off the Upland this was quite mellow. Fruit mild but noticeable, all around easy sipper. | |
2017-11-05 Still a ton of fruit in this one, and a favorite of many who tried it. Super balanced, just the right amount of sweet and sour. | |
2016-01-24 Still lots of fruit, kind of low carb which helps bring it out, great color, nice balanced tartness to boot. Was great with roast pork! | |
Drank 750 ml of Normalcy by Sante Adairius Rustic Ales (2020) | July 4th, 2021 |
2021-07-04 Really cohesive blend of fruit for this one, and another easy drinker. Tiniest bit of Sante funk. Great beer. | |
Drank 750 ml of Rosé de Gambrinus by Brasserie Cantillon (2019-12-20) | June 27th, 2021 |
2021-06-27 Some serious “butt” in the nose, but some great tasting funk and soda-like raspberry on the tongue. Delicious. | |
Drank 750 ml of Bourbonic Plague by Cascade Brewing (2011) | June 25th, 2021 |
2021-06-25 Astringent, mildly funky, lots of date and spice character and a lovely sweetness. Masks the ABV well, happy with how it held up. | |
Drank 750 ml of Family Whistle by Sante Adairius Rustic Ales (2017) | June 25th, 2021 |
2021-06-25 Lovely fruit on the nose and on the palate, super mellow, mild funk and sourness. Delightful beer. | |
Drank 750 ml of The Wanderer by The Bruery (2013-10-24) | June 18th, 2021 |
2021-06-18 Maybe gone a little over but still not bad. Tart, a bit astringent, not too much overt fruit. | |
2014-11-16 Great fruit character and suuuuper tart, a great beer as always. | |
2014-02-23 Tart nose, mild raspberry and fruit flavor on the palate and a lot of yeast character and funk. Not super funky funk, but a decent bit of milder funk. A good beer, though perhaps slightly overrated. | |
Drank 750 ml of There Are Rules by The Rare Barrel (2016-08-09) | June 18th, 2021 |
2021-06-18 Standout, mellowed and lots of fruit in the nose and on the palate. Delicious, crowd favorite. | |
2017-11-05 Lots of fruit but it all works well together. Conclusion: basically impossible to add too much fruit to one of these beers. Really good. | |
Drank 750 ml of A Thousand Summers by Sante Adairius Rustic Ales (2018) | June 11th, 2021 |
2021-06-11 Nice fruit astringency, mild and pleasant sourness, light despite slightly higher ABV. Delicious. | |
2019-05-24 Such a weird sounding combo but so good! Amazing nose, super mellow, lots of cherry, lots of nectarine. This beer is amazing. | |
Drank 750 ml of Coffee Abraxas by Perennial Artisan Ales (2019) | June 11th, 2021 |
2021-06-11 Chocolate, smooth, mild coffee, and super slight heat on the finish. Very tasty. | |
Drank 12 oz of Bourbon County Brand Stout by Goose Island Beer Co. (2013-10-11) | April 7th, 2021 |
2021-04-07 Definitely oxidized with a lot of raisin on the nose, but holds up pretty well, if still quite boozy. | |
2014-07-29 Delicious as always, perfect balance and so little heat for the strength, love this stout. | |
Drank 375 ml of Framboise For A Cure by Russian River Brewing Company (2014-09-04) | August 31st, 2020 |
2023-06-12 More body than the 2015 with a little less fruit, but definitely the better of the two. | |
2020-08-31 Not much fruit left but a very pleasantly tart and mellow framboise, with hints of sweetness coming through. | |
2015-06-26 Delicious as always, not too much raspberry left but still lots of citrus, and that perfect Russian River sour profile. | |
2015-03-05 Delicious, amazing color, great nose, lots of citrus and still a good bit of fruit there. Amazing beer. | |
2015-01-23 Still tasting amazing, plenty of fruit, best color of the batches tonight, if anything tasting a little more balanced now than it did fresh. | |
2014-11-16 Delicious, some lemon character, mild raspberry, great tang, a good start. | |
Drank 750 ml of Cantillon Saint Lamvinus by Brasserie Cantillon (2012-11-21) | February 28th, 2020 |
2020-02-28 Super cheese in an amazing way, less fruit than the fresher (2016) bottle but a little more character to the funk. Delicious. | |
2013-12-14 That perfect Cantillon funk, along with a surprising amount of fruit presence (not much must) coupled with the traditional sour backend. Awesome, was a great line beer waiting for Beatification. | |
Drank 500 ml of Dauenhauer by Sonoma Pride (2013-10-15) | February 28th, 2020 |
2020-02-28 Basically all Brett, but pretty good. Pablo said it reminded him of old Alaskan Brewing beers. Honestly better than I remember my initial impressions being. | |
2014-08-29 Better than the last time, perhaps overridden by previous hopped beers, but tasty funk, nice sweetness, overall a good one. | |
2014-08-23 Funkier than the last bottle, an interesting mix of farmhouse, funk, and malt sweetness. | |
2014-07-12 More esters than Amasa, less head, more malt character, less citrus. Also quite drinkable, very tasty, though Amasa was probably more fun. | |
Drank 500 ml of Amasa by Sonoma Pride (2013-12-20) | February 28th, 2020 |
2020-02-28 Really weird and funky nose, but a straight up delicious Brett beer on the palate, extremely clean with a little fruitiness on the finish. Crowd favorite of the two (against Dauh).. | |
2014-08-26 Still delicious. | |
2014-08-23 Still delicious and my favorite of the two Sonoma Pride releases, great hop aroma and flavor, and a great mix of funk. | |
2014-07-12 Fluffy white head, tasty Brett grain and sweetness, mild maltiness, and well carbonated. Eminently drinkable, tasty. | |
Drank 750 ml of Wineification II by The Bruery (2014-09-11) | February 28th, 2020 |
2020-02-28 Truly a beer like no other--starts like wine, middle like beer, finishes like wine. Much more pleasant than the usual Bruery profile by my preferences, and a crowd favorite. | |
2018-09-29 Sweet nose, very smooth on the palate, some strong wine notes though not as much as I remember when fresh. Not bad, but man so strong. | |
2015-03-04 Delicious, so much wine up front, definitely mellowed as it warmed, a fantastic blend that masks the Black Tuesday almost as if it weren't there. Great beer. |
