On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a cloudy dull orange with no head. Aroma is odd, revealing notes of banana, light vinous notes, and wild yeast. Flavour is along the same lines, with lots of wild yeast and dry Riesling grapes, with a hint of banana. Bone dry, with a near-flat carbonation - could use a more champagne-like mouthfeel. Solid stuff.

Tasting at SF, Vancouver, corked
Cloudy blond color. Mild herbal aroma, some fennel, perfume. Strong body, quite some alcohol presence, detergent, some spices, some citrus, and light vinous character. The astringency in the final is not very pleasant.
Messy.

Bottle - Light fruit, perfume and elderflower. Cloudy gold with almost no head. Light soured white grape, touch of elderflower and not much else. A little subtle and it may evolve but right now a bit mild.

750ml bottle at Brian's office. Pours a murky dirty golden with a weak white head. Aroma is very fruity with grape notes. Taste is similar. Quite good.

Hazy, dull straw, with no head. On the nose, the woodruff and grape must show through, along with some yeastiness. Sweet, but also quite floral, the riesling and elderflower both coming through. Fun. Not great on the execution - it's too yeasty for that, and not nearly wild enough - but definitely a fun beer.
