21/07 RBESG Grand Tasting, 0.75 l bottle. That one poured slightly hazy, pink body with smaller pink hued head. Sourish aroma, a bit unpleasant puke note. Flavor was sour of course, some cherry, berries and vinegar. Thinner in body with long nice rounded sour finish. Not bad, showed lot of qualities in its sourness, but it was too simple for my taste and had unpleasant notes, especially in the aroma.

Bottle, RBESG 2012 grand tasting. Amber to brown colour. Aroma blackberry, plum, raisins, rot. Taste heavy sour, taste buds massacre. Finish is completely dry, medium sour with tartness. Rather extreme beer. Minus points because I could not drink a pint of this thing.

RBESG 12. Poured a lovely misty red body. The nose isn’t immediately appealing, feces mixing with various bretty note, blackberrieas and maybe some caramel. The taste is soft though to counter the sourness, and the berries show themselves through the brett. All in all, quite nice!

Bottle number 114/857 fro, the March 2012 batch. Pours with a deep violet purple hued body with a frothy off-white head that slowly fades. From far away the room fills with the aromas of jammy fruity blackberries, a light earthiness and a vinous red wine (pinot-ish) aromas. On closer inspection there is some very bright fruit, medium funky brett. Light butyric. Low grain, very vinous. Flavors are very nice: jammy fruit, bright blackberry, good acidity, clean lactic and malic sourness. Very vinous, red wine like. Oak, tannic finish (berry and wood). Low phenol, medium-low funk. Very nice fruit character. Lactic sourness, no real noticeable acetic components. Cleaner and more berry forward than my homebrewed blackberry sour, but also less funky and acidic. Lively carbonation, medium light bodied. Elegant. Very well made! Probably my favorite from Crooked Stave so far!

Courtesy of Dak. It pours purple-ish amber with off white head. The aroma is a yummy crumbled salty Feta cheese rimmed with berry fruit notes in the background. Around these notes are various levels of musty sour vinegar. Smells as if I’m going to really enjoy the flavor. Here goes, the taste is tart and running into an even mix of salty Feta cheese and smooth sweet to tart berry notes amid a thin layer of vinegar. It seems these notes couldn’t work together but they really do. Yummy stuff.
