750ml at the brewery.
Some funk, noticeable grapes, a bit tannic. More tannins in the taste, fresh, crispy, low to moderately acidic. Pleasant one.

CBJ Bottleshare. Thanks to Wingman. Near clear pale gold beer, small and short lived pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Soft pale malts, a light creamy sweetness. Floral fruits, touch of rose. Mild funk. Light finish. Fruity and incredibly approachable for this brewery. Not the normal lemon juice!

750mL bottle at LC member party, 1/18/25.
Clear, white gold. Good amount of frothy, white head.
Mineral and wine skin with mild lactic and fruity Brett. Stone fruit-like acidity with a round juiciness.
Soft and malty with white grape, white peach and hints of lemon. Brett-forward with a fair bit of lactic acidity lingering. Good minerality. Not too acidic. Very drinkable.

Side by Side with Cantina Giardino Sophia 2021. Wine is less exciting. Nice vinous white wine and some dessert grape sweetness. Still a touch of stone fruit. Some pedio. Smooth, opens nicely with a proper farmy funk

Side by Side with Cantina Giardino T’ara rΓ  2021. Wine is lovely proper funky skin contact. beer is still a bit tight. Lots of stone fruit, grape, sharp rather than funky.
