Bottle at BBT 7/2022. Thin body, med-low carbonation. Med-light oxidation, medium apples. Little else to go on about, feels quite watery and characterless. Hints of funk, but did they really expect a lot of funk from 100% brett beer? Weird. Might have been good when fresh, but little remained here. Average at best.

Bottle. Slightly unclear pale golden body with a nice white head. Light and fresh aroma of gooseberries, white currants and hint of lemon. Taste is really refreshing, some light pale malt, general fruitiness and more distinct flavor of berries like gooseberries, white currants. No funk so far in this fresh bottle, but a slightly hint of light acidity and moderate bitterness. Medium body and same aftertaste. A nice, refreshing, light but tasty thirst quencher.

Moderately sour, medium dry and refreshing flavour, again with notes of said fruits / berries, also some earthy notes in the finish.
