russian river vintages

Sanct b4 is nice. It was fruity and tasted like funky cotton candy which i enjoyed. Batch 5 was too dry and plain and i preferred the fresher b6.
Tempt b4 is great right now kinda sad my last one is gone.

 

I have a temptation B3 that will be poured tomorrow night. I noticed a layer of something at the neck of the bottle. I hope I didn't sit on this one too long. I wish they would go back to this old bottle style.

 

how does a sour age usually?

 

Dont' know for sure. We'll see tonight.

 

Temptation batch 4 is amazing. Can't speak to the others from memory.

 

Sanctification 4 and 5 are both drinking exceptionally. 3 is starting to fall off, which is sad, as it was my favorite batch (and the last to use other bugs).

Temptation 4 is probably peaking. It's fantastic right now.

Consecration 3x1, 2 of the last three bottles I've had have been off, with the worst one having developed something of a ketchup flavor. It's too bad , because that was the beer, when fresh, that made me fall in love with sours. In all honesty, of my three recent batch 3 bottles I drank, I don't remember which bottling condition (the second number) they were.

On a related note, does anyone have an updated link to the Russian River batch spreadsheet (the one that used to list each bottled batch, along with type of conditioning yeast and tasting notes)? I poked around their website recently and couldn't find it.

Thanks Stu.

 

Just drank a temptation B3 carbonation was lacking but it got sweeter and wasn't as mouthpuckering sweet but it tasted great!

 

Does anyone have feedback on the different Temptation b4 bottles? With 5 different bottling dates and 4 different combos, I'm curious about differences. I'm fairly certain the bottle a buddy just sent me was 004x4.

 

I've never paid any attention to the bottling numbers.

 

You have to put it in your cellar.

 

Flavor wise I mean does it get more sour or do other characteristics come through?

 

There's really only one way to find out!
