750ml bottle at share. Cloudy golden pour, fizzy head, bubbly ring. Fruity aroma, funky, stone fruit. Taste opens with a big tart pucker, nectarine, yeasty / funky vibe.

Hazy and pale. Medium head. The aroma is full of plums with light pale malt. On the palate, there's good bugs and slight acidity, with a bright stone fruit character. The fruit is quite tart, and it's really one of the tarter, drier Floodlands I've had.

750mL bottle, pours a cloudy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with lots of apricots, floral notes from the fruit, and gentle acidity. Flavour is quite acidic, with lots of apricots and nectarines (okay, nectarcots), moderate acidity, and a touch of bugs. Tart, acidic, floral, but retains a nice juiciness to it. The bugs are rather buried and cover up some of the complexity. Good but below the usual Floodland quality.

Poured from 750mL bottle. Very hazy blonde gold with small white head. Lots of nectarine and apricot, very juicy, some feint dry fuzzy skin notes on the mouthfeel, very tasty.
Thx, Josh!
Very nice stone fruit character, some funk on the back. Taste is loaded with stone fruits, quite sharp, a bit on the acidic side. One of the most powerful stone fruits beers I've ever had. Very nice.

Bottle thanks to Anthony. Pours a cloudy yellow with small white head that lasts. The aroma is funk, yeast, stone fruit, wood. Slick body, lemon, stone fruit, wood, funk, nice tartness, enjoyed this.
