Bottle from the brewery. Pours a hazy gold, with a large white head. upfront tang, citrus zest, vinous grapes, and some earthy musk. Crisp mouth feel, lively carb. Hints of vanilla, earthy wood, soft, tart, tangy fruit. Vinous, and complex, low bitterness.

Pours a clean (gets hazier as it pours) rosé-amber colour with a slight pinkish-white cap, not lasting very long and just leaving a ring of tiny bubble foam around the brew. Beautiful blend of fruity aromas with the sourness. Notes of cherries, berries and mild grapes. The flavours show light funk with the wild ale part, and some nice red wine hints. Nothing comes out too strong in here, but a nice balance between the wild funk and the aging with a little Pinot Noir.

500mL bottle, pours a hazy copper orange with a small white head. Aroma is bone dry, with lots of wood, some vinous notes and gentle wild yeast. Flavour is quite funky and wild, with lots of barnyard funk, vinous notes (white wine), lightly tart citrus, and wood. Woody and wild. Excellent.

Tan with a touch of pale pink. No head. Richer tartness than the Riesling variant, lots of pinot noir on the palate, and still fairly woody. No bad, but it's a bit tarter than the riesling and I prefer the higher sweetness in that one.

A hazed pinkish hued ale with a thin white head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with light prunes, light lactic notes, light mineral notes, pleasant. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity malt with light acidity, plums, very nice. Bottle from Ian Guenard, Jason's big deck tasting, August 2019.
