Bottle. Unclear yellow body with a big, but fast fading white head. Aroma is fruity with peaches, light acidic berries, slightly floral and mild, smooth farmhouse funk. Nice balanced flavor with sweet citric fruit, pale malt, some acid, berries and pleasant funk. Fine body and nice aftertaste. I really liked this one, very refreshing and complex in a mild way at the same time.

Bottle split at Leighton's 20K, thanks to Fergus Nxxxxx, 01/03/17. Hazed golden orange with a decent light beige covering. Nose is big on funk and brett, citric rinds, straw, on the turn melon. Taste comprises pissy citrics, sharp melon, grains, white peppery spice, big herbal notes, brett pangs. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Ok saison but overly herbal for me.

Bottle at Leighton’s 20K, thanks to Fergus. It pours cloudy orange - amber with a massive white head. The aroma is bready, musty, funky, earth, dirt, herbal, quite sweaty, orange peel, mango and apricot. The taste is crisp, dry, bitter - sweet, earthy, musty, funky, wood, dirt, leather, farmyard, spice and a touch metallic with a dry finish. Medium body, high carbonation and massively foamy mouth - feel. Very earthy and dirty. Fun, but doesn’t come across as well refined.

Leighton’s 20K at his posh new gaff! Thanks to Fergus. Hazy gold beer, good cream colour head. Palate is airy and semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Fluffy floralness, bretty undertone. Floral bitterness. Something a little skewed. Airy dry finish. Not doing much for me.

Bottle shared in London at the 20k - cheers to Fergus. Pours clearish orange with a billowing, creamy white head. Some doughy wheat in the nose, ripe tangerine, pale bread. Light-medium sweet flavour with notes of white grape, tangerine, lemon meringue, pale grains. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly warming in the finish with more doughy wheat bread, citrus, meringue, tangerine, mellow hitter hay. Not bad overall.
