Bottle spilt 2 ways, thank you Clark. Aroma is sour flowers, Brett, and lactic acid. Flavor follows. Acid and sour is equal. Got a fruit fly in the beer. So that is pretty cool!

2024 draught at the brewery, 5/21/25.
Clear brass-maize. Small, spotty, white head.
Fresh, luscious flowers. Elegant, delicate, floral. Very good Sacchs character with light funk and cellar. Lingering mild Brett and moderate, well-aged lacto. Some salinity.
Juicy flowers and peppery acid with a soft salinity and mild, runs oak. Mellow acidity and a rich, malty texture with sourdough and white bread sweetness. Balanced, bright and floral. Whatever gives that saline character is fantastic, as well.

2022 Brewery draught, 1/18/24. Hazy, bright peach, giant, thick, white head. Rich culture with salinity, earth, leather, heavy mineral, tons of biscuit and mellow lactic acidity. Good backing of round oak. Probably suggestive, but it smells like vegetal notes and salinity with plant like character. All of this sounds weird but it's great. Floral, earthy, definitely some plant character. Orange, pepper, soft, well-attenuated malts and fruity Brett and mellow lactic acids. Juicy in the end with light salinity, mineral and earth. Sublime stuff. Good acidity but nothing aggressive whatsoever.

There’s an herbal celery note up front and some bright citrus and floral notes on the mouth, plus an almost capsicum pepper note at the end. Smooth funk.

Bottle sample at a Yana's tasting at Max's place. Cloudy golden. Barnyard. Oak, fruitiness, sour, lemony, juicy, vinegar note. Really good.
