750mL bottled Dec 2021, drunk 3/6/23. Pours a mostly clear, peachy-brass-golden. Small, off-white head showing moderate retention. Lovely nose shows both barrel/oak and wild culture with moderate lactic and light acetic notes. Some fruity bretts and sacchs with low saison character - more of an American wild ale feel to it. Soft, deep malts adding rustic grain with light honey and bread. Clean, no alcohol noted. Soft and almost juicy with plentiful acidity though not punchy or vinegar-like. There's some light acetic though no bile-like character. Very fruity, playful, effervescent and soft, well-structured maltiness with good attenuation. Pepper, cherry, oak, vanilla, lingering lactic acidity.
