I happy to say This is my 50th beer review on this site. Thanks to those who follow and hope you stick around for another 50. To celebrate number 50 I decided to review one of my favorite sours in the world and it comes from my favorite brewery in the world... Russian River Brewery. Supplication(batch 5), is that beer and for you sour beer freaks out there, if you haven't had this beer you must seek it out, it is that good. Supplication like all Russian River sours come in the 375 ml bottle and corked and then caged. Priced like the other sours by RR Supplication is sold at $10.99-$16.99 depending on where you do your beer shopping. Furthermore, Supplication is best savored in a goblet or wine glass, this beer has so much complexity that the right glass makes this beer that much more enjoyable. Moreover, Supplication is one of those beers you can sit in the cellar for awhile and drink in the future, this will allow Supplication to gain more complexity. Do yourself a favor buy yourself plenty of this beer and drink some now and enjoy some in the future, this is an amazing beer from an amazing brewery.
Color: A hazy copper color with hints of brown at the core of this beer. A nice nickle sized head forms of the off white color. A good amount of lacing is left behind in the glass.
Nose: Complex and intense! Tart cherries hit first followed by hints off oak and wild yeast funk.
Rounding off the aroma of this beer are apples and a slight vinegar smell.
Palate: An amazing mouth feel. Sour/tart with a great level of carbonation. The cherries coat the tongue and are then washed away by earthy tones and barnyard flavors.
Finish: Wow! Dry and complex. An immaculate beer that offers plenty of texture and surprises. One of the better beers in the world.
Rating: 97 out 100
