Draught at EBF, 2/3/17.
Hazy, pale-golden with some deeper bronze hues and a beige/yellow-flecked, off-white head showing strong retention for the style.
Juicy and yet tart/acidic stone fruits in the nose are backed by a pinch of acetic acid, moderate oak and beautifully expressive Brett and lactic acid. Vanillla, honey and biscuit emanate from the malts, balancing somewhat, while horsey Brett deepens the funk and juicy peach lingers on the finish. No alcohol or flaw.
Dry and yet quite malty in the mouth with tight, champagne-like carbonation and tons of lactic acid mixing with light acetic acid and strong oak tones. A slick-to-malty texture with infinitely juicy stone fruits providing fuzzy, skin-like flavors and acids along with tart and fruity Brett adding more complex fruits to the mix. Sour and inviting, with a lip-smacking finish, good dryness and no alcohol or flaw whatsoever.

Leighton’s 20K at his posh new gaff! Thanks to Leighton. Clear gold beer, thin cream colour head. Palate is airy and mildly dry and has deceng fine carbonation. Light gueuzey lemon. Trace of that skewed nut thing that sometimes blights sour beer and I detest, thankfully very mild here. Mild winey vibe. Acidic fruits. It’s not bad but a small glass was plenty.

Bottle shared in London during the 20k - sourced via trade. Pours clear gold with a creamy, white head. The nose holds tart citrus fruits, lemon, tangerine, pale wood. Light sweet flavour, some tart peach, strong acidity, lemon, salty sweat. Light to medium bodied with massaging carbonation. Assertive lemony acidity, woody dryness, some citrus rind, a little alcohol warmth, more peach. Damn quenching. Great beer.

Thanks Matthew for sharing the bottle! Poured into a taster showing moderately filtered light apricot with sparse clean white foam. The nose shows tart notes of peaches but seems to lack intensity. The palate is light bodied and highly carbonated. Highly tart and acetic with a moderately intense forward peach but ends on an out-of-place white wine bitterness.
