12oz canned 2/7/23, drunk 5/12/23. Pale, golden-brass. Small, white head, moderate retention. Nose is sublime with some months of cold-aging on it. Soft Sacch esters and beautiful, mild Brett create succulent fruits with gentle acidity and plentiful plastery-mineral character. Soft pepper and herbal suggestions on the finish. Lots of peppery phenol from the honey fermentation and more Sacch than Brett here, though still a healthy dose of Brett. Hint of lemon and honey-like malts, soft and malty with good attenuation. More spicy phenol on the finish. Not quite as impressive as the nose, but still flawless.
