375ml bottle. Almost clear golden, big white head. Aroma of lemony, orange citrus, Bretty funk, misc. barrels/oak. Taste has lots of sharp citrus, lemon, grapefruit, oaky barrels, Bretty funk, little bit of apple maybe, spritzy carbonation. Wild ales aren't my thing at all but this seemed really good.
