Pours with a pale amber colour, touch of haze, and not much head. The aroma has the usual acidic woody Temporal character, along with mellow fruity hops and stone fruit notes. On the palate, a sweet kiss first, bright apricotty notes, a bit of lactic, a touch of hop bitterness. The balancing sweetness is fun. The strata terpenes aren't as spectacular as the sauvin ones are, but still possess an entertaining brightness.

Bottle pour at Weathered, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma is full of acidity, perfumey notes, and subdued stone fruits. Flavour is moderately acidic, with faint tart stone fruits, vinegar, and a little oak. Acidic and thin, with not much fruit character. The hops are pretty subdued. And there is generally not a whole lot of complexity. Not my favourite from Temporal.

Taster on Weathered. Appearance: a bit hazy blonde. Aroma: very winey, like a white wine, but acidic at the same time. Taste: along the same lines, lots of unraped grapes, dry. Overall: not bad.

Cloudy gold with a small head. Nice lemon rind, white wine grapes and herbaceous notes. Tart up front with some nice lemon rind and aspirin with a soft finish.
