750mL bottled December 2021, drunk 9/18/22. Clear blonde-golden with a medium-sized, white head showing moderate-to-low retention. Pretty big lemon and rosemary nose, the lemon being most prominent. Some mineral and light ester/phenol from the yeast underneath, alongside cracker and rustic grain-like malt notes. Clean and with no alcohol, yet I can't get a very good sense of the actual base beer on account of the strong adjunct presence. This must have been brutally overdone when fresh given that it's still so strong and dominant at 9 months old. The taste is enjoyably full of lemon and rosemary with balancing sweet malt and good attenuation. Light-to-medium bodied with soft mineral and light baked bread. The lemon just sticks to the palate and never lets go throughout the course of the glass. It's fruitier than it is acidic, thankfully, but that plus the rosemary equals I'm not even sure what the base beer is. Is this a saison? A belgian golden? A sour? I guess there's light tartness, but even that is obscured, somewhat, by the lemon peel.

Pours hazy gold into a tulip. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to coat surface. Funky heather and oak aromas. Soft with tart lemon upfront turning to mild savory rosemary pie crust in the medium length finish. Mild honey overall but not much in there....
