750mL bottle, pours a cloudy murky dark orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out loads of oak, some tart peaches and light wood. Flavour is super dry, with lots of oak, wood and dry fruity tannins. Nice and dry, with an oaky finish. Excellent.

5 Kay, 7.5 Kay, 10 Kay Tasting. Big thanks to Rocket Rudkin for this whale. Hazy amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Nice nose of tart nectarines and peaches. Palate is light and crisp and dry. Taste follows the nose adding sourish white wine. Peaches turn to tinned peaches before a light crisp finish that also produces a trace of sherbet. Nicely winey - fruity!

Bottle thanks to 10K Bois. It pours cloudy amber with a beige head. The nose is juicy, earthy, funk, must, peach, apricot, nectarine, sherbet, brett and wood. The taste is crisp, big upfront tartness, sherbet, peach, nectarine, decent hit of acidity, toasty, wood, earthy brett and some lactic action with a dry, tart finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Pretty delicious and quaffable.

Bottle shared in London - many thanks to Mr. 10k. Gusher! Pours hazy, deep gold with some sediment and a frothy, off-white head. The nose holds rich tart citrus fruits, lemon, some wood, berries. Light to medium sweet flavor with jammy citrus, strong acidity, woody dryness, light grass, lemon rind. Medium bodied with average, massaging carbonation. Juicy citrus finish, somewhat acetic, more lemon and tangerine. Nice beer.

Bottle thanks to Nick. Pours a cloudy orange with medium frothy off white head that lasts. The aroma is strong nectarine skin, apricot, and light funk. Medium mouthfeel with nice light oak, nectarines, peaches, funk, and tart finish, really enjoyed this one.
