On tap @belmontstation. Deep reddish brown with very little head. Smells of fruit. Made me think of sour plum. Very good fruity, tart/sweet flavor. Again made me think of sour plum.

This beer is dangerous, it is so complex you can’t stop sipping to see what other amazing flavors you’ll get.
WARNING it knocks you on your butt! Great sweet and sour action

This is an American beer that is very similar to Duchess de Bourgogne. It’s dark, thick, sour and just the right amount sweet with a slight yeasty edge. I think this is my favorite beer from Russian River and it’s a wonderful find wherever you can put your paws on it.
- Characteristics: dark sour sweet thick yeast
