Bottle, from 2016, thx Brandt! Hazy pale golden body, not much head. Funky, yeasty, creamy aroma, floral, vague yellow fruit, some oxidation. Big carbonation, creamy, tart, citric, white wine towards raisins, empty, bit corky, tart. Oooh, this is actually fun, really unusual, very delicate, lightly oxidized. Glad to have tried it!

0.375 l bottle from 'Ace Drinks', bottled in November 2018. Hazy, orangeish amber with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, slightly sourish, quite fruity and rather funky aroma of overripe lemon, white grapes, gooseberry, cheese and cellar. A little sweet, gently sour, very fruity and quite funky taste of overripe lemon, gooseberry, white grapes, oak, some cheese and light cellar, followed by a short, gently tart, slightly woody-dry finish. Almost medium-bodied, slightly astringent and gently effervescent mouthfeel, lively carbonation. Very nice ale, quite refreshing and complex at the same time, extremely well-balanced as well. This one made me curious!

Hazy light colour, thin head. Deep tart, tamarind? Interesting beer, plummy wild and unique character.

Bottle at Farmhouse Fest 2019, pours a cloudy golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out dank notes, farmhouse funk, and citrus zest. Flavour is quite intense, with farmhouse funk, citrus zest, and floral notes. Complex and deep. This is great.

375 ml bottle. Pours amber with moderate head that settles quickly. Aromas of farmyard, grapes, melons, and wheat. Flavors of tart but musty grapes, limes, a bit of brett, and wheaty malts. Sharp start, fruity tart middle, and pleasant yeasty finish. A really nice balance of modern hops and farmhouse
