Bottle, at the March 2025 DCBeer share. Poured a pretty looking, slightly hazy orange color with a small, wispy head. Aroma was big, dusty peaches, light tart apricots. Flavor was big, juicy tart, slightly acidic, vinous apricots. Nice tartness, quite tasty. Slightly sweet. Finish. Really good. Some fruity acidic character.

Pours clear bronze into a tulip. White head with excellent retention recedes to coat surface. Apricot, peach and tart aspirin funk aromas. Crisp with sweet meadow, oak and tart apricot upfront turning quickly to lactic aspirin before the lasting band aid finish.

Bottle at Foeders. Funk, citruses, light apple, woody notes, quite refrershing, zappy, vibrant. A touch spicy, mildly acidic. Not convinced about the category, in most senses it exceeds the saison style by far.

2024 vintage. Orange, medium hazy body, with a creamy head. Aroma of sage, citrus, stone fruits, some almond. Tastes similar. Medium mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation. Finishes medium dry, medium bitter, citric, with sage, some wood. Really interesting stuff, the sage works very well. Lots of lovely fruit notes, drinks fresh and balanced. Score: 8 / 4 / 8 / 4 / 16

Bottle: Poured a golden/orangey color ale with a large white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of tart notes with some vinous funky ester notes and light herbal notes. Taste is also a mix of tart notes with some oak and vinous notes also noticeable with a faint but discernible mix of sage. Body Is about average with good carbonation. Well balanced wild ale with plenty of complexity and a good level of drinkability.
