500ml bottle. Nectarine aroma with notes of peach, grapefruit, tangerine, floral and grassy hops. Pours brilliantly clear golden colored with a large off white head that has excellent retention and lacing. Starts with juicy nectarine, tangerine and grassy hop flavors. Finishes dry but still quite smooth with peach, grapefruit and floral hop flavors. Excellent ipa.

Bottle at Johnny's, muchos gracias man! A bit hazy golden color with a full sized white head that lasts for quite a while. Aroma is malts, heavy hoppy, hoppy bitter, pine, spruce. Flavor is similar, loads of piney hops and hop bitters with grapefruit coming through firmly. Medium to full body, decent carbonation. Very pleasant.

This one has been on the wishlist for a LONG time. Bottle courtesy of a traveling friend. The beer is a clear golden-orange color with a thick frothy off-white head that diminishes gradually to a film. Sticky partial rings of lace. Aroma of piney hops, citrus and malt. Full-bodied with flavors of resiny hops, grapefruit, apricot and roast malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a lingering citrusy and piney hop aftertaste. While difficult to live up to expectations after so long, it's still a damn good beer.

Bottled, enormous thanks Adam V for sharing! 2022 batch (Small Batch: Pomace Beer 8.6%, January 11, 2023, Cabernet Sauvignon). Lightly hazy ruby body, off-white head. Initial whiff of paint and alcohol, some raisins, over plenty of red, red wine. Soft, light, almost a bit smoky, minerally, tannic and metallic taste, with plenty of highly pleasant red wine notes making everything worth it, well hidden, well integrated alcohol and acidity - lighty acetic.A solid rollercoaster of a beer! Very much glad I'd had it!

Bottle.
A- Gold color, slightly hazy liquid, white head.
A- Oak, mild funk, grapefruit, citrus zest.
F- Tangy, citrus, oak, tannic.
T- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, tangy finish.
O- I was hoping for more complexity. Nice beer but not as great as the other RR beers I've had. A bit one-dimensional.
