30/9/2025. Bottle shared by SHIG, cheers! Hazed pour, small head. Aroma is citrusy, lemon, funky, yeasty, herbal, woody, twiggy. Nice drying citric sours, some tart berry, mellow bitters and sweetness, slight salty notes. Well done.

Panda, courtesy of SHIG, pours with a clear copper colored body that supports a thin off white head. The aroma offers up floral notes, soured citrus, a bit of wood and vinegar. The taste delivers citrus to lychee to vinegar tartness remaining somewhat restrained as slivers of wood and floral notes have room to breath. Easy drinking. Nice.

Bottle. Gold with a slightest wisp of a white head. Funky cracker aroma with some apricot and vague herbal notes. Slippery with low carbonation. Quite sour with boot polish funk, apricots and their stones. Coriander and salt are only really noticeable right at the end.

Bottle, courtesy od Daniele and Alberto; bb 2024/03, this is probably ~3 years old
Blond colour, pale, chill haze. Nice aroma, bready, doughy, slightly fruity. Moderately acidic, and quite salty; dry but with soft mouthfeel; nice bugs.
Good.
