Quite pale yellow, a bit haze. Not a whole lot of head. Well, it has some prominent pedis on the nose, and a bit of coriander as well. The malts are a bit heavy, the pedis is still far too strong, but the coriander remains decently bright. Really just a yeast thing, like it's not bad but it's also not great.

Pours a hazed light golden-yellow colour with a big white fizzy head that comes down quick enough, but has a coat of bubbles that tops the brew. Lemon sour nose with other tropical fruit notes and hints of funk. The funk and earthiness is more present in the taste. Citrusy mild and not too sour. Gets cloudy at last pour. The Simcoe gives some decent grass notes and a lightly dry finish.

Bottle at Farmhouse Fest 2019, pours a cloudy yellowish blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out soapy, earthy notes, with cardboard and some wild yeast. Flavour is full of cardboard, with earthy notes, soap, and biscuity notes. Soapy, cardboardy finish. Unpleasant.

Bottle at Farmhouse Fest 2019, pours a cloudy bright orange amber with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with strawberry upfront, with a touch of phenols. Flavour is less on the phenols than the nose, with bright strawberries, a hint of phenols, and gentle tartness. The phenols are a bit unpleasant, but it's decent.

Bottle at Farmhouse Fest 2019, pours a hazy dull peachy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out tart stone fruits, some oak and a gentle wild yeast character. Flavour is quite neutral, with dry stone fruit skins, mustiness and a little oak. Not much depth here. It's alright.

500ml brown bottle that pours a hazy amber colour with strawberry red and gold hues. The head is thick frothy, close to creamy, long lasting with foamy sticky lacing. Mostly strawberry juice aromas. The taste shows all of the sourness with the strawberries being in the background. Light tart on the tongue, but not as much as expected, so going down nicely. Kind of refreshing actually. Nicely balanced fruity-sour beer.
