Blonde Ale aged in used Chardonnay barrels from local Sonoma County wineries. It is aged for about 9 to 15 months (depending on the age of the barrel) with lots of brettanomyces, lactobacillus, and pediococcus added to each barrel. Medium bodied with hints of oak and Chardonnay, funky brett characteristics, with a nice, long sour finish.

Bottle shared with the KL tasting crew. Poured a hazy light orange amber with a thin broken white head. The aroma is yeasty, light mineral, citrus fruits. The flavour is moderate sour, with a light, crisp, fresh, tart orange citrus, dry, yeasty, light biscuit dough palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

Fido at share. Glad I finally got to try this, as they didn't have it on when I was down in Santa Rosa. Aroma and taste are Sublime, smooth light tartness, more if the Brett notes. Right in alignment with the way Russian River does these beers. Well worthy of its reputation

Thanks to kappldav123 for sharing! Unclear golden in the glass. Winery fruity smell. Taste starts tart fruity, but also fresh. Increasing barrel wood in the second part. Nice stuff.
