hazy golden color. Lots of cereal malt, some Belgian yeast, smooth palate, rounded. Not a tons of depth. It’s ok

750 ml bottle from the brewery. Pours a rich, deep, glowing golden, almost pastel, with a huge, rocky head. Nose is lemony, orange, lactic acid creaminess with oak and a hint of vanilla. Grass, bit of barnyard hay, and stone fruits underneath it all. Lovely funky nose. Flavor is much drier than expected, with grapefruit and lemon, pith and peel, hay, grass, rye spice, cream, touch of vanilla. Sourness is not stark but not weak either. Finish is a lot of oaky tannins, plus grassy hop bitterness. Body is effervescent and crisp. There is a bit too much oak in this, though, as the finish is extremely tannic and bitter (first time use of the foeders, I believe), which tells me to have to rest with food, but overall an excellent start to this series.
