Bottle online from Rad Beer. Pours almost clear gold with a decent beige cap. Aroma: sour apple, apple skins, floral, funk. Taste: light to moderate tart, dry, sharp citrus, lemon, sour apple. Medium body with foamy carbonation. Very decent, an English equivalent of geuze.

Poured from 750mL bottle. Hazy gold with small white head. Some wood, nice funk sour, a bit of underlying dairy element. Enjoyable.

Dark amber, with not much head. Has a leathery note, a touch of brett, slight bit of earthiness. Quite tart, almost bracing, with again that leather stuff, light brett, and a lemony finish. A bit too much on that lemony side of things but it's a pretty good beer.

750mL bottle, pours a minimally hazy full golden with a small white head. Aroma is quite complex, with plenty of barnyard funk, complex bugs, and some lemon skins. Flavour is quite citric and funky, with lots of barnyard funk, lemon skins, wild bugs, and oak. Citric, fairly funky, and cohesive. Not quite gueuze territory, but it's impressively done.

750ml bottle - Pours a lightly hazed gold colour with an average sized foamy near white head. The aroma is oak, tart fruit and peppery spice. A tart and fruity sour taste, lemon, straw, funk, unripe apple and oak flavours with a drying sour finish.

Pours unclear blonde, small white head, relatively stable for the style. Scent is .. Cheesy. not sure if from the aged hops, or the cheddar-oak that was used to age this beer upon. Slightly sweaty, mild acidic touch. taste is full, strong sourness, mostly lactic acid, mild acetic acid , slightly sweaty. Not as cheesy here, but has hints ( I assume rather by the aged hops ) Perhaps a tad too sour to be true to style, but a very nice attempt with an original spin. Mild oakyness.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Yoav's place. Slightly hazy golden. Barnyard, oak, citrus, a bit of sweat, fruitiness, sour, juicy, a bit of lemon, a bit bitterish in the finish, lively but not overly strong carbonation. Great stuff.

Bottle. Favourite Beers, Cheltenham. Hazed gold. Slim ring of white foam. Nose has beautiful funk, along the lines of sitting in the Loon Factory or 3F, but over here. Apple skins and dusty shit. Taste is tart and dry with a big fruit sweetness. Smooth as you like. Fine carbonation. Tart and light dry finish. Lovely stuff.

75cl bottle shared with friends, cheers Mike for bringing this. Saturday 13th Jun 2020 was the day, to celebrate minutemat's 10,000th rate. Small, distanced gathering at The Quarry, Shrewsbury in the afternoon sun. Murky golden pour, white top. It's a lemon sour puss of a beer, lots going on, mostly not to my liking, but everyone else was purring.
