Bottle split at the last minute CBJ Tasting (big thanks Marcin for hosting), thanks to LKS for this one, 13/07/23. Lightly hazed golden orange with a decent off white cap that clears to edgework. Nose is tangy citric shreds, hedgerow, lemon nip, modest yeast load, damp oak, straw. Taste comprises funk, lemon rind, herb, light acidic bimble, modest barrel but not really picking out port, damp oak, hay bale. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a tangy edge. Decent stuff.

Bottle shared at craft beer junction bermondsey. Thanks. A light hazed greenish yellow straw coloured pour with a halo of white head. Aroma is green berry, gooseberry, sour lacto, lemon rind, horsey. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, sharp lemon rind, wheat straw, lacto, tangy. Palate is tangy, sharp, fizzy. Moderate carbonation. Nice complex funk.

Bottle shared in London - sourced from the brewery. Pours mostly clear yellow-gold with a creamy, white head. Lightly sweet, quite dry, has a little lemony note, low acidity. Light bodied with delicate carbonation. Drying finish, more subtle lemony notes, an odd oily note, a little pale wood. Not bad.

Not the L6 bottleshare. Thanks to Leighton. A light haze on this pale gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Light malts, sweet enough. Slightly tart elderflower vibe. Soft red fruits on the back end. A mild acetic burn on the very end. Decent.
