Think some bottles made it out and were shared? Or maybe drunk people trying to check in Map of the Sun heh.

In Other Words. Any feedback? Sounds tasty.

Ooooh, and Tessellate still available for growler fill. This might be a double growler fill type of weekend.

 

[Gambit1]

In Other Words was one of my favorites yet from RB - crazy sour fruit juice, filled the growler. Also tried Afterlight, which was fine, but didn't deviate much as far as RB dark sours go - hoping some age on the bottles adds something, as I tend to prefer their dark sours with some time on them... or maybe my baby palette just can't grasp the fancy barrels.

2 Included with zero additional...my money says that's the case.

Agree, you might be on to Quite Something here.

Well it's good to have low friends in high places.

This might be the best rare barrel beer I've had.

 

[Dogleg1]

I'm going with 4 extra.

 

[ewwiccc]

My bet is 2 extra @ $30 a bottle.

Nope just a picture that was pulled from instagram (not sure whose).

I cropped it when I saw that the person who posted it also took it down.

Forces unseen b6 is next

 

[tosh1]

Forces unseen b6 is next

Batch 6. Really? Nothing wrong with it, but 6 batches of it?

 

[ABSTRACTlegend]

Batch 6. Really? Nothing wrong with it, but 6 batches of it?

"forces unseen is a blend of three different golden sour beers aged in oak barrels. Each batch of forces unseen highlights a unique mix of yeast and bacteria, which differs from the last batch. the forces unseen deserve all the credit for the hints of pear, honeydew, and crisp grapes showcased in the 3rd bottled batch of this golden sour beer."

Meh

 

[BigToad22]

Meh

That's a Sante beer

 

[matedog]

As unexciting as the non-special releases are, they serve the casual customer looking to drop (only) $20 on a solid sour without joining a club or waiting in line quite well. Makes sense to me to have these releases.

 

[Gambit1]

I know everyone wants fruit, but Forces is damn good. Probably my favorite beer of everything that has been released so far this year in bottles. Plus that is one release closer to MOTM.

 

[bigk84]

Ensorcelled...it's damn good, but I'm really underwhelmed this year...at least it's not a member beer.

Not a member beer. It wasn't last year either. Public release is 6/3. Still $30 though, but they kinda have to keep it at that price to justify it previously being $30.

 

[ewwiccc]

Not sure how i missed that.

Now that I look at the Ensorcelled label, it's #32. Bottled it back in January.

 

[ewwiccc]

Digging into last year... looks like they never released Shades of Cool. Golden sours w/ black currants
