The aroma is fruity (plums, prunes), but also some ass. Prominent lemony acidity, not much depth, light dough feeling.
Nothing exciting.
2018-05-06, draught at Twin Sails, Port Moody, 6-3-6-3-12=
Cloudy lifeless orange-amber colour. Very light vinous aroma, sour plums. Very dry, highly carbonated, moderately sour, the beer base doesn't have much to offer, the grape adds some interest; short final, lemony. Light acetic feeling in the finish, and very light doughy yeast.
Ok Sour, nothing complex here.

Lively but not gushing, blond, clear. It's bone dry, with strong oak notes, moderate acidity but that blends in, some funk. Soft tannins in the finish.
Excellent.

Given some time, and maybe the bottle conditioning, this one developed very well. Very nice aroma, peach jam, pineapple, little funk. Lean body, dry but soft; nice blend of funk and caramelized pineapple, moderate acidity.
Very good.

Cloudy blond colour. Strong notes of acetic acid in aroma and flavour, some tannins, some lemon, quite sour but not extreme.
Not much complexity, and very skewed towards the acetic. I hope the bottle will be better.

500ml bottle at Alex's. Pours a hazy golden with a white head. Aroma is pleasant with some oak and bretts. Similar taste. A bit smoky aftertaste. Good one, especially for its price of $10 at the brewery.

500L bottle, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Nose brings out light oak, a hint of wild yeast and fermented out honey. Flavour is along the same lines, with subdued honey, oak, and wild yeast. Somewhat acetic and somewhat acidic. Not overly complex. Solid.

Cloudy, no head, light tan. Yeasty, oaky, with light pedio and brett. On the palate, a lot of the same, with brett and wood up front, pale malts, and a soft honeyish note. Good. Finishes with a fair bit of tartness.

Golden colour, hazy, well carbonated but not gushing, forming a large head, with short retention. Initially there is some footy smeel, it dissipates quickly; sour elements, Brett, light funk, very light grapes. The mouthfeel is dry, quite sour, and astringent, a bit of lemonand lemon peel, but overall not very complex.

Cloudy golden color. Wonderful aroma, barrels, manure, wine, some sourness, funky traits. The acidity is quite prominent, tart plums, white wine, and then strong wood feeling, light cheesy touch too. Edgy, very good.

Bottle at Matt's
Murky pink-orange color. The fruit aroma is prominent, some funk. Dry and highly carbonated mouthfeel, nice crisp malt background, some funk, and some fruit.
Pleasant.

Cloudy pale blond color. Nice aroma of coriander. Light and weak, no Wit character, light acidity, bit of wood or brett, weak final. Delicate beer, but too little going on here.
2018-01-18, bottle at Matt's, 5-3-5-2-10=25
Hazy blond color. Smells like an American Saison, the body is thin, some astringency, but very boring overall, and the high carbonation is unpleasant in these cases.

Sexy little bottle thanks to Ferris. Pours out a peach color topped with a white head. Nose is nice oak sour funk and some fruit. Taste is more of the nice sweet fruit notes barrel oak tart funk.
