750mL bottle, pours a cloudy dark amber it’s a medium white head. Aroma has some nice funk, plenty of acetone, a touch of pine needles, and oak. Flavour is quite acetonic, with plenty of funk, some bitter pine needles, oak, and balsamic. That’s borderline enamel-stripping acidity. There’s some nice funky depth but the acidity is too high. Difficult one to stomach.

Bottle, 750 ml, shared with Hrvoje and McBerko. Hazy orange with medium white head. Nice funk and pine needles, quite acidic and acetic, not that easy to drink.

Tangy pine needle funk and honey sweet and sour. Was a bit extra tart upfront but mellowed out.
