Bottle. Pours hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma is very oaky, vanilla, light vinegary, lots of stone fruits - can’t believe there’s no fruit in this! Wow. Musky basement, leathery, citrussy with a nice lactose tartness. Taste has the same jammy stone fruits and citrus going on. Oaky, funky, musky, lemon zesty, lactic in the back. Very surprised about this!

A golden beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of brett, straw, and lemons. The flavor is sweet brett and lemons, leading to a tart finish.

Bottle shared in NH. Thanks to Sander. Pours hazy gold with a creamy white head. Nice lemon squash and lemon aroma, some oak. Light-medium sweet flavor, light oaky dryness, more tart lemon. Light bodied with average carbonation. Quenching sour lemon finish, some further woody dryness, mildly acidic. Really drinkable stuff.
