Bottle pours out pale straw topped with a small fizzy white head. Nose is nice grape forward some funk and barrel. Taste is more of the nice barrel funky grape wine notes.

Pale peachy colour. Medium head. Tart, light body. Mellow grapey accents, a touch of wood. Balanced.

Bottle pour at Farmhouse Fest 2024. Pours murky yellow with a white head. Aroma has a stale fart-like quality. Flavour has tart unripe berries, fairly high acidity, and peach pits. Uncoordinated and harsh.

Bottle pour at FHF 2024, pours a cloudy bright golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out musty white grape skins, mustiness, and a touch of earthiness. Flavour is actually okay, with tart, acidic white grape skins, earthiness, some wild yeast, and oak. Nice incorporation of the white wine grape skins, though not particularly complex. Nice stuff.

FHF 2024. Appearance: hazy golden with a white head. Aroma: tart, fruity, some wild notes. Some nail polisher. Taste: along the same lines, very acidic. Overall: meh.
