Gravity dispense at GBBF ’14, day 1, 12/08/14. Lightly hazed golden with a decently appointed off white covering. Nose is light spice, straw, butter citric peel, tangy apricot, light smoke, tarte peach, hop notes. Taste comprises earthy tones, tangy lemon rind, hay, lime cordial. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, tangy close. Ok, a little basic perhaps and trying to be two things instead of one - hops and sour together at last, perhaps not? Came over more like a Berliner Weisse.

Cask at GBBF 2014. It pours lightly hazy gold with minimal white head . The nose is pine, mild sourness, grain, citrus peel and not much else. The taste is tart, grainy, lemon peel, sherbet, funk, limeade, hay, mouldy wood, some acidity and wood with a dry finish. Light-medium body and low carbonation. Fairly simple, yet drinkable.

Growler thanks to Ilya! Pours a clear gold with a slight orange hue and a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has note of grain, grass and pineapple with a light tartness backing. Flavor has lots of pineapple with some earthy grains and a hint of tartness.

Growler pours with a crystal clear gold body that supports a white head. The mild aroma offers up sweet malts, slightly funky earthiness and then ending a with a bit of soft vinegar and yeasty spiciness. The taste is modest in strength and begins with soft malt sweetened vinegar, mild malty notes, a dash of lime and then this moves into more vinegar notes that grow to take over the flavor. Interesting as it gets a little funkier as it warms too.
