Can to tulip.
Appearance: burnt yellow in color with a two finger white foamy head which slid off delicately to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet hay, subtle lemon, white pepper, clean freshly cut grass, touch of sweet wheat, faint earthy funk
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together semi-sweet with a tart to funky aspect, subtle zesty citrusy hint punches in before a sly aftertaste of funky to grassy to sweet woody character plays in that part
Texture: light bodied, sessionable, crisp and semi-zesty finish
Overall: would love to have this beer again preferably with some grilled swordfish, man - I bet that would be one awesome night!

Canned 8/25/25, drunk 10/10/25.
Clear, blonde-golden. Large, white head, slowly to cover.
No vomit/baby diaper here. Obviously the Brett refermentation seems to be 99% over (or hasn't/isn't going to start) and we've got a clean aroma, albeit not very Bretty. Not too lemony, with big wheat-like notes of biscuit and various grain. Light pepper. Mild all-around.
Yeah, none of that mid/over-Brett-referm character that can ruin a beer (see two reviews down). Just a light, chewy, pleasing, rather delicate, floral beer with soft pepper and light lemon. Seems they've remodeled this one since the 2021 750mL bottle release, as this seems nothing like what the other two raters describe.

On tap at Vices & Versa, pours a hazy golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out rustic saison yeast and gentle wild bugs. Flavour is much the same, with dry rustic saison yeast, earthy notes, and crisp biscuity malt. Pleasant yeast expression but not all that complex. Okay.
