Bottle shared at Ganz. Opaque golden pour, white head. Nose is funky brett, leather, citrus zest, grass and herbal notes. Taste is moderately sour but it's clearly acidic nevertheless. It's also surprisingly bitter. There's funk, cirus zest and light fruity notes. Closes with a bitter, funky finish, has a medium body and average carbonation. Drinks below the ABV.

Tasting at Chez Cloin. Thanks to Fergus. Light haze on this gold beer, good cream colour head. Airy palate, fairly dry, decent fine carbonation. Fluffy malts, a light creamy sweetness. Savoury funk. Mellow floral citrus. Some spice on the end. Not much core Mosaic, but that's no surprise. Tidy.

Bottle. CW online shop. Hazed, orange gold. Slim ring of white. Nose has Juicy Fruit gum. Summer berry. Touch of mint. Behind all that is a load of sweaty, oaky, leathery brett. Taste has a soggy stone fruit sweetness, quickly turning tart and fusty bitter. Smooth mouthfeel and clean tartness belies the ABV. Lingering bretty twang of bitterness to finish. I love this series of beer.

Bottle @ CloudwaterFriendsandfamIamLennyKreunion. With special guest The chocolate boy wondah aka Chocolate Joseph. Pours hazy golden with a small bubbly head. Jammy mosaic. Sweet and quite intense. Lots of brett and funk beneath. Dry and crisp with a vinous note. Long finish. Huge beer and it works.
