Lovely finding one of their bottles here. They're almost from my hometown but I can hardly find their beers back home. I remember this lemony yeast very well. Typically tart and fresh-tasting, despite being from 2021. Not quite worth the price tag though.

Lovely sour saison. Bitter lemon zest, funky. Tastes like most of their beers, though, probably due to a lemony house yeast.

Very happy to find this in Berlin. I miss the brewery and they just closed their taproom near my hometown. This is less acidic than expected, a bit less lemony. Then again, I almost always drink their bottles, not draft. Nice fruity citrus goodness.
