Poured from 375mL bottle (bottled 05 06 2016 - about 10 years old). Hazed gold with minimal white head. Quite dry, chardonnay underlay, light wood, sour wild yeasts with a hint of astringency. Decent.

Complex and layered in the way you wish all sour/wild beers could be. Citric tartness leads to a dry, oak-tinged bitter streak underlined by funk and a touch of vanilla. Finishes with a hint of Chardonnay sweetness and a firm bitter fade. Lovely beer.

375mL bottle. Pours clear yellow with small white head. Aroma has tart wild yeast, dry wood, lots of white wine, a bit buggy. Flavour has a similar profile, lots of oak, white wine, and wild yeast. Very complex and well-integrated. Fantastic beer.
Delicious chardonnay tanginess and soft funk.

9 November 2022. Bottle from San Diego Wine Co. Bottled: 17/02/2022. Hazy golden, stable, foamy, white head. Aroma of unripe peach & plum, green apple, sour grape, white wine, horseblanket, grass, wet hay, cheese, vinegar. Taste has sour peach, mandarin & green apple over a sourdough-like malt base with funky & cheesy notes; softly bitter hay accent and acidic vinegar. Finishes with 'old' grassy hops, funky hay, acidic unripe fruit and tannic white wine-like alcohol. Full body, moussy texture, average carbonation. A very noble brew, definitely a treat.
