I can't believe I didn't get a picture of this. 750ml in a lovely basket. The cork broke in one bottle so he opened another one, and the cork also broke 😆 Really good stuff, lots of funk.

Bottle shared in NH. Cheers to Duke. Pours hazed gold with a small, creamy white head. Lightly sweet, some tangy citrus, assertive woody dryness, some grassy bitterness, mild warmth, damp earth. Medium bodied with fine, spritzy carbonation. Pretty clean finish, more citric bite, grass, woody notes. Good stuff.

Bottle from Goods from the Garden: pours orange with a small head. Aroma is basement funk, slight fruitiness, dust and herbs. Taste is more funky than sour. Complex and pretty deep. Makes itself known.

Bottle, 750 ml, trade with Mansquito. Shared with Max and JFK10000. Cloudy golden, white head. Citrus, fruity, lemon, barrel, barnyard, moderate sourness, funky. Medium bodied. Some cork, too strong in fact, brings it down for me.

Bottle at the blending room. Crystal clear golden color white edge head. Aroma of funk, dust, cobwebs with sweaty animals watching from a safe distance. Taste rivals any gueuze coming out if that country that lost to France. Holy cow. Glad they’ll be making more like this.
