The first bottle was reviewed on 09/02/2012.
Appearance: Gold with a touch of haze. White head with only moderate retention.
Aroma: Pineapple, soft notes of sweat, apricot, lemon, clove and spice. An ice undertone of earthy funk.
Taste: Light tartness, strong effervescence, earthy balance, pear, stone fruit, and clove.
Overall Impression: The beer is flavorful and complex with a great deal of Brettanomyces character. Considering the pedigree of this beer, it and I shall enjoy a long relationship of discovery.
Availability: Nationally at select retailers.
8.3% ABV
One thought on “Brux Domesticated Wild Ale (A Russian River & Sierra Nevada Collaboration) – Bottle No. 1 9/2/2012”
Nice. I like the “Brux Project”. I still haven’t pulled the trigger on this fella yet. I feel that perhaps the beer’s potential is baked into the price, and with as impatient as I am and my abode’s poor cellaring capacity…I would just end up regretting the purchase.
