Hazy, dullish amber. So it doesn't look great. There's a lot of bugs right up front on the aroma, and a lot of wood. It's got a soft malt character, with mellow bugs like brett c. A bit of leathery accent, and it has some good tannins in the finish. There's even some sweetness, so there's a really good balance and it has good complexity. I like the rusticity; it's on brand but lends this a certain uniqueness that lands well.

750mL bottle, pours a cloudy dark orange with a small white head. Aroma is pretty buggy, with lots of wild yeast, a bunch of oak, and low-level acidity. Flavour is full of oak, lots of wild yeast, light funk, and low-level acidity. Nice barrel character and oakiness on the finish. Very good.

Bottle, Blend 1 10/22. Clear amber with a lasting fluffy white head. Aroma of sweetish crackers, old and fresh lemon and limes, some berries and herbal notes. Creamy texture. Dryish, gently sour. Lots of citrus, mellow apples. Old oak at the end. Had the first iteration of this beer in 2010 - an exciting journey.

Tap at ASF 2022, Reggio Emilia, Italy. Pours hazy golden, with very fine white foam. Aroma is a weird floral sweetish feeling, even a little funky. Body and carbonation are average. Medium astringency. Taste is a little sweet at first, with nice delicate acidity. Final is fairly long and still astringent.

(Bottle) Pours slightly hazy golden with small white head. Pleasant subtle aroma with notes of aromatic fruitiness, maybe ripe grapes, and hints of yogurt and funk. Lovely mouthfeel - medium body with bright carbonation. Great taste - unusual and complex. It’s tart but not overly so. The tartness is citrus / lemon with notes of not quite ripe pineapple. There’s some peppery spice. There’s a pleasant but subtle graininess which has no obvious malt sweetness but adds balance to the tartness. There’s a litre pleasant bitter note in the finish. Very enjoyable and interesting - kept sipping and tasting it.
