500 mL bottle. Pours a pale, clear, yellow color, with a small, fleeting head. The nose is white bread, lavender, hot ginger, caramel, and sage. Sweet and syrupy, with a mild tartness. Slick, syrupy, and dusty. Solid dry saison.

Nicely nuanced brett beer, layered and deep without oversized flavors competing for dominance. Modest sweetness from the muscadines and scuppernongs pairs nicely with the subtle acidity coming from the wine barrels, while the oak adds notes of vanilla and a woodsy bitterness before gin comes through in the fade. Funk laces the edges, while vinous notes pop up deep into the back end. Never quite builds the way you'd like it to, but still an interesting, drinkable pint. Pours somewhat ugly, but the mild carbonation works well with the wine leanings, and the nose is an inviting mix of oak, Georgia grapes, and a hint of funk. Slightly better than it rates.

Dark amber golden color. No head. Big gin, Chardonnay, oak, brett, grape and sour nose. Low carbonation, sour, grapes, brett, tons of oak, vanilla, Chardonnay and gin. The chard and gin are much more tame in the mouth compared to the nose. Kinda minty, berry finish with tons of oak. Very interesting

500ml bottle, thank you Walter. Deep orange and not much carbonation there. Super interesting nose, sweet orange marmalade. Light gin, herbal tingle. Definitely some oak there and good brett all over the place. Tastes also as a mix of different flavours, oak, herbal orange, good brett bitterness. Kind of all over the place but still balanced and tasty. Enjoying this a lot.
