Draft. An unclear amber beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of fruits, straw, and spices. The flavor is sweet with notes of lemons, brettanomyces, straw, and spices, leading to a tart finish.

375 ml bottle split 2 ways shared by Willrunforbeer, much thanks. Cloudy golden color with a pink hue. The aroma is sweet and sour. This fruit seems to be more powerful then brett yeast and oak. Sweet.

The flavor shows a great balance of the same sweet and sour yet does hit me with the sharp pucker in the glands. Wasn’t expecting that at all after such a mild aroma. Strong oak sharpness with acid reflex. Not sure how much of this I would want to drink in a sitting.

Pours hazy gold into a tulip - looks like a cider. White frothy head recedes to mottle surface. Apricot and plum aromas. Tart and lactic initially turning quickly to sweet apricot before turning dry in the lasting plum and marshmallow finish. Nice.

Bottle from Maekchu. Drank side-by-side with the Elephant Heart. Nose is plum, grapefruit, funk, sour, woody Chardonnay. Quite sour, a bit harsh, flavor of plums, grapefruit, some lactic acid. Strong barrel presence like a very oaky chardonnay, some vanilla, oily. Nice, but not as good as the Elephant.

Bottle. Pours a hazy golden yellow with a white head that dissipates quickly and immediately. Aroma has a bit of dark fruit with a good amount of earthiness, light funk, oak and a bit of tartness. Flavor starts with earthy sweet grains and oak with a growing dark fruit tartness and a hint of acid in the finish.
