Bottle at Phill
Hazy blond colour. Strong biological matter smell; light funk, maybe manure, light lemon, some yeast/dough. Moderately acidic, off-dry, mild but pleasant white grape (?), and some astringency in the finish; hint of doughy yeast, like a stain on a white dress.

750mL bottle, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out spicy wild yeast, crisp grape skins, and some rustic saison yeast. Flavour reveals spicy, rustic saison yeast, gentle grape skins, a bit of herbal notes, and some biscuity malt. There's maybe a bit of THP (Cheerios) in here that shouldn't be there. But all in all, it's pretty solid.
