Lovely stuff. Creamy, saisony, berries, everything I want. Even with a hangover I couldn’t stop drinking it.

Bottle. Mail order from the brewery. Deep, cloudy golden orange with a high, airy head. Nose is rich fruits: apricot, peach, orange, grapefruit, biscuity malt, honey spicy but not quite funky. There is a bit of dusty leather reminiscent of young brett that hasn’t gotten to most of the sugars yet… Wonderfully fruity, herbal, grainy, with notes of the brown rice, grapefruit, orange, mango, also some dry, dusty aspects, and a solid bitter finish that seems to come from pepper, yeast, and hops. Body is full but crisp. Very impressive again. Not as complex as the 2019, but that went through a full-on mixed fermentation for a year and a half before I tried it. This is younger, fresher, fruitier.
