750ml bottle. Hazy yellow pour, with a huge white head. Subtle funk, some nice earthy barrel, with alot of citrus fruit, citrus zest and some peppery/herbal notes. Great carb, effervescent mouth feel. Great grapefruit pithy bitterness, some tropical fruit and slight tarty funk in the end with some woody barrel. Complex, refreshing, extremely drinkable. Wicked hot patio beer.

750mL bottled Dec 2014, drunk 12/22/22. Clear, well-carbonated, nice, creamy, white head with a brass-lemon body. Even, well-aged, UNoxidized nose. Lol, how is this not oxidized after sitting warm on a shelf for God knows how long? Incredible. No oxidation, not even a bit. Soft, fruity esters and spicy phenols, nothing crude. Fruit leaves a trace of citrus but it's mostly gone by now. Clean, surprisingly no Brett. No alcohol. Soft, wheaty, clean, malty, dry, fruity, mild citrus and lots of clean esters. Still good acidity. No oxidation in flavor either. Wild. Well-done and interesting to see it without mixed culture.
12/2014 Thanks Clark aroma is funk, citrus, peppercorn, grapefruit pith. Nice.

Upon opening, there were lots of very fragrant, caramel sweet tart Aromas wafting about the room with a little grapefruit. Flavors were similar to nose, less sweet and not as rich. Average body, strongly carbonated and a slightly bitter finish. Decent enough beer.

(Bottle) Pale golden colour with big, frothy, white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of grapefruit, lemon peel, white bread, hay, spicy yeast, white pepper and a touch of brett. Hoppy, spicy taste with grapefruit, lemon peel, grass, pine needles, white bread, funky yeast and a generous citric/peppery bitterness in the finish. More than medium body, quite dry. Fresh and really tasty, with lots of citric hops and spicy yeast. Excellent beer.
