Draft at Sovereign. Murky ruby red, thin pinkish head. Nose of tart raspberry, some sherry notes, wet wood, dried wild herbs, funk. Before I hit the flavor, the mouthfeel is amazing. Its basically dry, only lightly tart but it's full and enveloping and long. Lasts in the mouth forever. Flavor has mixed berry and some dried cranberry or cherry. More straight up. Some sherry, light grasses. Woodsy but approachable. Really nice. Super easy drinker.

750mL bottle at the LC member party, Jan 2025.
Clear, brilliant gold. Reasonable amount of white head.
Fruity, fairly easygoing and with a good amount of Brett and mild grape sugar. Light oak, some crusty wheat and mild funk.
Clean and snappy with a sizeable body and deep texture. Brett and grape provide endless fruitiness while the acidity is controlled and never much more than a good tartness. Light oak, wheat, malt lingering.

Bottle shared at annual Fryslân tasting. Reddish color, virtually no head. Aroma and flavor are lightly sourish, very balanced though, very fruity, sourish fruity, grapes, so refreshing. This is amazingly good. Perfectly balanced sour fruitiness. Awesome.
