Undated can drunk 8/20/26.
Oh boy....Brett galore, though it isn't even dominating. Just fruity, gently tart and playing nicely with the adjunct and Sacch to allow a plastery-cellar-like character underneath juicy, bright berry and extremely elegant esters/phenols from the yeast. Soft, balancing, delicate, honey-like malts are the cherry on top.
Both malty, soft, rich and succulent but at the same time bright, tart and drying out wonderfully on the finish. Just the right amount of grape character to complement without dominating or adding too much tannin/acidity. Balanced, intensely flavorful for its size and with nothing crude, nor does the Brett dominate the Sacch.

12oz can from Tavour. Cloudy amber body with some violet hues, fizzy head. Aroma is grapes, tartness. Taste is grapes, sour bite, fizzy feel. Tartness lingers on the palate with some minor dryness.

Can pour at Farmhouse Fest 2024. Pours clear light red with small white head. Aroma has Brett, light cherries or strawberries?. Flavour is woody, strawberry, dry grassy fibers. Not bad.

On tap at Fair Isle, pours a cloudy dark red with a small white head. Aroma reveals tons of spent grapes, with wild yeast, and some earthiness. Flavour has a nice spent grape skin character, wild yeast, and some rustic notes. Dry, rustic, and vinous. Good stuff.
