500mL bottled December 2020, drunk 5/19/22. Beeswax-marigold. Lightly hazy, fizzy white head. What a nose! Soft, delightful, rich barnyard funk for days. Light lemon, big, easygoing Brett and tons upon tons of rustic grains adding all sorts of fresh baked sourdough, biscuit and such. Clean, no alcohol, low acidity, but great balance with tons of mineral and mild sulfur and other various funk. Very flavorful for its size with lemon, big bursts of lactic acid and a bit of metallic yeast (thing is 2.5 years old so some autolysis and other actual yeast flavor is normal). Solid malt texture, good attenuation, good depth, light sweetness. Bigger and richer flavor than expected for its size. A lot going on here. White grape, strong mineral, yogurt, stronger lactic acidity with warming.

Bottle from the source: pours hazy light gold with a white head. Funky aroma, fruity hops, basements. Taste is sweet, tart, not acidic, smooth. Good.

We need more farmhouse pale ales and farmhouse everything in the universe, deliciously complex tart sweet hop notes on a tangy light funk.
