Did Wanderer have blackberries before?
Pretty sure it did, and bing cherries.

Previous label read: Dark Sour Ale Aged in Barrels with Blackberries and Cherries
 
Wanderer (now blended with anny), Poterie, Chocolate BBLs and Chupacabra now up. Think they accidentally put up BBLs instead of Chocolate Rain?

LOL seriously?

Why the hell is Wanderer now blended with anniversary? (Other than the obvious, I mean)

The Wanderer is a special blend of oak aged ales that we made with Craig and Beth from San Francisco's City Beer Store. Blending a mix of sour ales and our anniversary ale the base of this beer has a delightfully sour tinge on top of a hearty malt backbone. To add to the flavor, Craig and Beth selected blackberries and cherries to be added to the ale adding to it's already fruity complexity. This ale went on to win the silver medal for wood & barrel aged sour fruited ales at the 2011 Great American Beer Festival and we are very excited to be bringing it back to our lineup for our 2013 Society members!

Maybe the percentage has changed since this is the first year they listed % of it?
 
Sure sounds like it's always had some anni in it

Internet sleuthing ftw. I still stand by my original statement. The blended anniversary is more aggressive than memory. I was sorely hoping I'd taste more blackberry. Perhaps it will evolve and taste different out of the bottle, but I would encourage others to at least consider if they'd enjoy a more BBA-forward version of Wanderer.
 
I'm regretting not splitting this membership, haven't maxed on many things first year in RS. Mocha Wednesday and Les Ronces have been the only stand outs to me thus far.

Flimishmish tasted acetic too me, whats the taste like vomit, too much time in the barrel kinda description. Hoping for more out of the Terraux, still no word on the tasting room?
 

The last time this was released, drinking it physically hurt me for 2-3 days after the fact. I thought the bottle was contaminated with battery acid. My throat felt raped/black and blue when I woke up the next day.

The only other experience I can compare this to is having a gastroenterologist do an exploratoty stomach scoping with a sidecar of fixing an esophageal stricture.

really? I'm surprised, that one was pretty mild on the sour to me and nowhere near mother funker/upland levels.
 
Saixon sounds pretty good.

"Saixon is a saison - not a typo. But it’s different. The saison style traces its origin back to Wallonia, the predominantly French-speaking (and bordering) region of Belgium. We asked ourselves what the style would be like if the pendulum swung East and took root closer to the German border of Belgium. And then we brewed it.

Presupposition meets new inspiration in this Belgo-German hybrid. In addition to the dry, crisp and funky notes you’d associate with the classic saison style - and the wildly traditional use of Brettanomyces, Saixon also features three generations of German hops: old school (Hallertau Mittlefruh), second wave (Opal), and new school (Mandarina Bavaria and Hallertau Blanc). Santé? Prost? Cheers!"
