Bottle split at L42 thanks to Ktwse, 13/02/18. Hazed orange with an off white cap that dissipates. Nose is stewed fruits, vanilla oak, brett, pissy citric shreds, funk. Taste comprises tangy orange, barnyard, damp wood, mellow bourbon, soured red berry fruits, vinous, acidic ripple. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. A competent sour.

Bottle shared in Canary Wharf - many thanks to Klaus. Pours hazy orange with a frothy, white head. Sweet, with wheat notes, some ripening citrus fruits, light vinegar. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes with mild tartness, more ripe citrus, a lick of acidity, wheat bread. Interesting stuff. Not bad overall.

Bottle at L42. It pours cloudy golden - orange with minimal head. The aroma is earthy, musty, funky, dirty, vanilla, oak, brett, white grape, bourbon and Granny Smith apple. The taste is crisp, dry, bitter, oily, slick, earthy, musty, grape skin, apricot, vanilla, oak, melon, Granny Smith apple, sherbet, hard acidic kick and marmalade with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Pretty good fun, a touch harsh in places.
