Bottle shared at CBC Islington on Matteo’s farewell. Thanks to the man himself. Bottom of Vottle. Hazy gold with a creamy white head. Nice aroma, moderate peach, tangerine, melon, apricot, mild lactic. Light sweet flavour with mellow acidity, more peach, lemon, tangerine, light pale wood, soft bitterness, nips of grass. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Clean finish, zippy and refreshing, with more tart peach and lemon, light woody dryness. Great stuff.

High clarity throughout this light blonde beer with a small, white head atop showing moderately-low retention.
Vastly different than Native One, this grisette-like nose reminds immediately of Oxbow, with its subdued Brett suggestions and touch of lactic acid. Good dose of spelt and wheat-like cereal notes add depth to the tartness, with a mild honey-like maltiness that adds delicateness and elegance. Moderate fruity esters add yellow fruit skin and pit-like notes, with just a touch of peppery phenol and more grain/wheat/spelt on the finish alongside lightly tart brett and lactic notes. Very clean, very understated.
Fantastically spritzy carbonation is tight and engaging, giving the perception of more body in conjunction with the wheat and very light malts. The texture being perfect, the brett and and lactic acids are free to roam about the palate, with light grain notes and touches of earth and plater-like minerality. Very, very soft, mild, understated but elegant and very well-done stuff here. A lot of thought and experimentation must have gone in to arriving at the finished products for the Native Series because they are all exquisite. I really, really love that Tree House took their time to bring these to the market, instead of pumping out subpar or half-assed sour/wild offerings. All three of them are fantastic beers that I would actively love to drink and trade for and I look forward to their continued efforts in this department.
