750ml, 23 months after bottling date (27 March 2017>. Almost orange, with finely beaded thin head. Rotting plums on nose. Crisp, restrained sourness. Feeling very settled and balanced after all time in bottles. I'm loving this.

Tap at the Catfish, Melbourne. Poured a hazy medium amber with a thin whispy white head. The aroma is bretty yeast, zesty citrus. The flavour is moderate sour with a crisp, fresh citrus, biscuit, dough malt palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Nicely balanced and very drinkable.

[8/17] Bottle. Clear gold with a white head that fizzes away in a few seconds. Aroma is indeed bretty with apricots, damp hay, some bracken. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation. Quite sweet. gently sour, very modestly funky. Hay and apricots, a little old lemon, pineapple. Some aged white wine fruity notes. Dries out a bit at the barely bitter end. Seemed a bit simple (if nicely balanced) at first but gradually revealed more. [3.5] A small taster each of the 2017 and 2018 versions. The 2018 is darker and a little sourer than the note above with a balsamic vinegar note as well as the considerable sweetness. But boy is the 2017 version transformed. The sweetness is almost gone and the sourness and funk are tightly integrated into drying beer that has both depth and elegance. Kind of averaging the score, but this was a 4.
