Hazy pale but sorta greyish. Medium head. Stone fruit and mint on the nose. The ferm is a bit wobbly here, I mean the herbaceous nature of the hallertau is fun but the base isn’t at the apex.

750mL bottle, pours a hazy blonde with a large white head. Aroma is full of floral hops, rustic saison yeast, and some wild yeast notes. Flavour is wonderfully expressive on the rustic saison yeast, with moderate funk, gentle floral hops, and a tiny hint of tartness. Rustic and gently wild. Excellent.

Bottle. Pours a near clear straw yellow with a white head that starts and remains at the edges. Aroma has a funky grass and lights straw note with a hint of lemon and a bit of earthy flora underlying. Flavor has light lemon throughout with a really nice light funk, some grass and a bit of straw underlying.

Mad lemony hops and earthy finish, sweet tart crisp and brilliant.
2025 Mar 22, Batch 4, Doggo photo replacement! Also get a more dank hoppy nose, but still dominated by lemony hop flavors and an earthy finish.
20250719 still agree but +.20 for delish.

12.7 oz. bottle. Batch No. 1. Bottled April 2020. When not in the light the color is a glowing hazy yellow. Aroma of lemon peel, soft Brettanomyces, soft herb. Flavor is a slightly bolder reflection of the aroma. Dry texture and effervescent. This is proper!
Personal note: Fair Isle is my 1,500 brewery sampled. 10 years of taking notes on beer. I am still here!!!

Capped 12.7 oz from Tavour. Batch No. One / Bottled April 2020. Pours near perry color with a nice creamy white head. Aroma is earthy and has mixed bacterial notes. Brett is possible. Med body at least. Flavor is earthy, spicy, grassy and bacteria which does seem to have a Brett characteristic. Quite dry. Hoppy. Bitter. Very Fleurs de Bois thing.
