Bottle via the online shop. Misted gold. Naturally the swede is boss. Salty jizz. (Is there any other?). Fusty lemon forward citrus. Quite woody and earthy. Taste is similarly saline with earthy bitterness. Dry and lightly puckering. Light acetic finish.

330ml bottle as part of a delivery and drunk at home. Light golden, clear with minimal head. Vinous aroma, notes of hard citrus, gooseberry, white grape. Tart taste but more measured than many of their saisons. Refreshing and incredibly drinkable. Slight body, soft carbonation. Simple and tasty.

Bottle direct from Kernel. It pours crystal clear golden with a bubbly white head. The aroma is fresh, bright, zingy, juicy, damp oak, vinous, white wine, gooseberry, melon, lemon - lime, deep funk, barnyard, damp hay and must. The taste is crisp, dry, tart, puckering, nip of acidity which dissipates, citric vibes, lemon, lime, puckering white grape, gooseberry, melon, white wine, sherbety accents, funky, touch of spice, oak, nuttiness and some tannin which dries out through the finish. Medium body and light carbonation. Plenty going on, yet remains bright and zippy. Nice one.

Bottle. Bit hazy golden with almost no head. Light funk, sweet malts, light citrus zest and white wine, a bit of yoghurt. Medium sour and a bit less sweet. Medium bodied, feels nice for the abv. Good!

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from the brewery taproom. Pours clear gold with a small, foamy white head. Lightly sweet with notes of salty sweat, moderate acidity, some citric bite, decent funk, melon. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Mellow acetic notes to finish, more salty sweat, soft funk, citrus accents, some old wood. Nice stuff.
