Batch #1 bottled on 22/03/2018, BB 22/03/2020, 375ml bottle

APPEARANCE: straw, golden color with mild chill haze (with sediment hazy, peach juice like appearance), snow white crackling head that quickly dissipate in small ring that stays on the side of the glass; slowly rising carbonation

AROMA: very inviting on the nose, there are clear wild and funky components similar to traditional lambic and oude geueze beers; sweet and green apples, juicy notes, stone fruits - notes of peach and apricot, hints of perfume and lemon balm, dry white wine and soft wine tartness, wet barrel, soft funk, dust, hints of cheese rind and whey; light to moderate sweetness, low to light bready malt backbone, gentle sweet herbs underneath (impression of diluted herbal candy) and minerals

TASTE: moderate carbonation, not typically lively for saison, medium light body, very smooth mouthfeel with moderate dryness; light sweet onset from malts but not typically bready or yeasty, hints of honey, very mild candy and stone fruits; smooth and soft white wine like and lemon tartness provide refreshing feel, surprisingly bitter for almost three years old beer, herbal notes paired with light tannic bite, minerals; barrel presence is very soft, no harshness; with sediment more stone fruit sweetness - peaches on the palate, subtle lactic note in the background

OVERALL: very enjoyable beer, harmonious & highly drinkable with smooth notes of barrels, minerals, esters, funk and light drying bitterness; now I’m curious to try other batches
