750ml bottle at Erik's. Pours a murky golden with a white head. Aroma is fruity with herbal notes. Taste is loads of barrel fermented fruits and vegetables. Interesting, but weird.

750mL bottle, pours a cloudy golden orange with a medium white head. Aroma is quite funky and fragrant, with lots of tea, herbal and piney hops, and some funky wild yeast. Flavour is along the same lines, with funky wild yeast, tea, and subdued herbal hops. Barely any IIPA elements here, just a lot of tea and funk. Really good.

Hazy, cloudy, with a thin head. The aroma is just weird - that must be the scoby/kombucha, and there's some herbal hop nose. On the palate, hops, kombucha tartness, a fair bit of malt. Ok, definitely weird. Not 100% sure about this, but there is an element that's like hoppy sour, but the kombucha accent is definitely bizarre. I don't hate this, but I'm not sure I want an entire bottle, either.

Bottle - Funky and some sulphur. Cloudy gold with a rich white head. Tropical fruit, touch of sourness and a bit of funk. Weirdly good, but would not have guessed double IPA.
