Perhaps they take perverse pleasure in the inverse relationship between the two. <br /><br />In any case, I find Russian River beers on the harsh end of the sour spectrum--America's Cantillion. If you ever have a chance at the sours from Allagash, America's Boon, buy immediately. You know, like the next time you're in Maine.Jeff Alworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02930119177544342495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12501248.post-64787000814779175642011-06-15T19:58:13.611+01:002011-06-15T19:58:13.611+01:00Indeed it does and not a bad place for it.

How much stock do you put in visual aesthetics?

Too early to say how they'll age but that's academic in this case ;-)<br /><br />I do remember drinking a batch 1 in late 2005, and the smell of the cherries was sufficient to fill a small room. I still think it's one of the best beers I've ever had, perhaps the best.Sid Bogglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07452473947039475736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12501248.post-1775450809339584732011-06-13T14:08:51.222+01:002011-06-13T14:08:51.222+01:00If the batch number isn't in the photo, it'...If the batch number isn't in the photo, it's not anywhere else.
