Just as sour as Temptation, but definitely more fruity in character. Cherry and wood, with maybe a touch of chocolate. There's less complexity in this beer, and the finish is a bit one-note and less memorable. Overall, I liked this less than the other sour.

The better of the two sours in the flight - this had some funky yeast bitterness from the wine barreling, without overt wine flavors in the beer itself. Very sour, but with a relatively sweetish, malty finish.

Rich, creamy porter with a lot of roasty bite. That last brings out some coffee and chocolate in the flavor but lingers for a long time, verging on outright smoke. The alcohol pokes through, too. Fine, but I wished for a less pointy experience.

Very, very good on draft. A similar overall character to the Row 2, Hill 56, but with the flavors all smoothed out. Smoother, yes, but also a little more boring. Still, very fresh-tasting and tasty.

Similar to the Whole Cone Madness, but adds a kind of savory, uric tang (and maybe some more resinous character?) to add a perfect note of contrast to the overall flavor. The best beer of the batch, I think - better than Pliny.

A really good, super-fresh tasting hoppy ale. This is in the piney-but-cereal vein of beers that somehow strike that delicate balance to become delicious.

The first sour I've ever tried. Huh. Not sour like lemons, sour like...sour. Puzzling, but not in a bad way. Not sure I'd want a whole one.

More of a bite than Berryessa's Saison, which I suppose is to be expected from the hop-happy folks at Russian River. Pretty good.

All day happy hour - yay!
