Consumption History
When
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.
