Bottled. A hazy amber beer with an orangey head. The aroma has notes of fruits, brett, berries, malt, and yeast. The flavor is sour with notes of brett, wood, berries, fruits, yeast, and malt, leading to a tart finish.

375ml bottle from Slow Beer 2, Fitzroy, Melbourne. Pours clear deep raspberry red with an off white head. Aromas of dough, light Belgian yeast, light balsamic, lactic acid, oak & red fruits. Taste is light sweet, moderately tart red berries, apple skin dryness with lactic yoghurt sourness. Light to medium bodied, soft frothy carb. Dry, fruity, slightly bretty finish. Spritzy & refreshing but it lacks complexity

A crystal clear reddish brown with a sharp oak and berry aroma. Light bodied, tart, lactic, candyish with a berry caramel flavor. Nice but more yoghurty and with less depth than the Belgian version.

From bottle. Not a huge amount on the nose. Pours amber/red. Quite full bodied with a little spritz. Not as complex as I’d hoped, with less of the rural flavours. Seems to sit in an awkward middle ground stylistically. Definitely the weakest beer I’ve had from these usually stellar brewers.

Bottle, 12C. Amber with a fluffy off-white head that collapses to a coat that lasts. Aroma of apples, pears, light toffee, musty dough, pepper, balsamic vinegar. Very overcarbonated mouthfeel (second glass poured from unstoppered bottle poured with a huge head but then was fine). Fruit and caramel sweetness, applish tartness, modest bitterness, very dry indeed with some spices and a slight bretty smack at the end. Can see great from here. Rustic and (carbonation issues aside) good. [3.6] Small bottle, batch 1, bb 11/16 . Clear reddish amber with a half inch head. Light toffee, balsamic, autumnal fruit. Still far too carbonated, but again settles down after a while Hmm, maybe there was no brett. Seeing this being cleared some places, this suggests worth seeing what it’s like in a decade.
