Bottle shared in CO. Very slow gusher. Pours unclear gold with a creamy, white head. The nose holds lemon, dried wheat, very subtle funk. Light sweet flavour with some pine, citrus, faint metallic notes, a little white wine, hay, very soft acidity. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes with soft oaky notes, dryness, lemony tartness. Good one.

500 c&c from Cap Tap. Pours translucent pale gold with a significant creamy white head. Aroma is mildly sour and primarily provides white grapes. Med body. Flavor is white grape, a little pale malt or wheat, and some light Brett funk/sour along with hints of rye, citrus and I think pale stone fruits. Fruits anyway. It is not at all biting or acidic, and it's a delicious drink.

500mL bottle, pours a cloudy creamsicle orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of grape skins, followed by brett, and stone fruits. Flavour is jumbled with a thick palate, with brett, stone fruits, loads of pith and pulp, and citrus bitterness on the finish. Pulpy and pithy palate, with a lightly bitter finish. Nose is superior to the flavour unfortunately. Decent.

Thick cloudiness and a pale hue. Not much head. On the nose, The aroma is a bit phenolic - not in a good way - it jumps out with band-aid, where I might have been hoping for brett. There is a touch of brett - not enough - and mainly this is about sweet malts. Light esters that work well with these sweet pale malts. Gentle bitterness. The brett lends a nice character and it ends up being fairly enjoyable.
