MAGNUM shared at the Referend 3rd anniversary party. Pours mostly clear gold with a creamy, white head. Soft funk presence, some lemon, a little farmhouse character, lemon candies, nips of white pepper. Light bodied with average carbonation. Pretty clean on the finish, with subtle lemony tartness rounding it out. Good.

375 mL bottled early 2018, drunk 11/18/18.
Pours a clear, brass-golden with a small, white head that slowly fades to a ring.
Nose is plentiful cereal-like grain mixing with biscuit and white bread as lemon-lime-like Brett character unfolds, balancing with spice. It's a bit strong/overworked and overly phenolic, however, but only just a bit. Otherwise, soft oak, light floral spice and various fruity esters (apple, nectarine, strawberry) linger on the finish with no alcohol or flaw.
In the mouth it's soft, tightly carbonated and well-attenuated with a malty texture that produces notes of honey, white bread and biscuit. Lemon-forward Brett also displays black pepper and lime, and gets a bit heavy/phenolic on the end. Kind of a sugary-cereal-lime-like character that isn't wonderful, but the main force of the beer (soft oak, malt and light lemon and spice) is excellent.

375 ml bottle purchased at Hill Farmstead. I near clearish golden color. Aroma shows me lemon, yeast, dried flowers, and oak. The flavor is a reflection with a nice mild pucker in the finish. Mild lactic acid that provides nice burps. Good brew.
