2016 vintage. 375mL bottle at Mikkeller Brewpub London, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with white wine grape skins, gentle funk, and oak. Flavour is not a lambic at all, but there's a real nice white wine character, followed by white wine vinegar, and a touch of oak. Somewhat wild character, but there's a bit too much acetic character. Smells better than it tastes. Good.

375ml bottle as part of a delivery from New Zealand Beer Collective and drunk at home. Pours white gold, clear, some visible carbonation and a small ring of white head. Big Sauv Blanc aromas: gooseberry and white grape with some musty funk. Exceedingly tart taste, more white grape here, leading to a big sour finish. Spritzy carbonation. Exceptional.

375ml bottle at 7.5%. Pours murky and pale. Aroma is grapes, funky wheat and all a bit messy. Flavour is really nice grassy sweet grape and sour grapefruit notes and some bread. Good interpretation of the style.
