Pale and slight haze. Somewhat of a dullish yellow. There's some lemongrass, lacto, a bit of lemony, floral hops. On the palate, it's bright, the lemony notes shine, the hops lending a nice floral touch, and the vinous barrel character is really nice, rounds it out. The acidity goes juicy and clean, too. Well-balanced.

375mL bottle, pours a hazy dull golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma is full of saline, with some nice wild critters, a touch of citrus, and maybe a hint of lemongrass. Flavour is buggy and salty, with a nice expression of wild yeast, saline, citrus, and dry oak. I could do without the salt, as the bugs are nice. I don’t get much white wine either. Nice wild yeast expression, but the other stuff is a bit of head-scratcher.

Poured from 375mL bottle (thanks Toni CaptainMurphy). Hazed blonde with minimal white head. Tart sour with Sauv Blanc notes upfront, soft salty lemongrass on the backend. Not totally cohesive, but decent.

375mL bottle. Pours hazy blonde with a white head. Plenty of wild yeast and salt on the nose; some bright lemongrass and white wine as well. Flavour has lemongrass, salt, nice white wine character and a good yeast profile; a touch phenolic. The salt is weird and overall it feels a bit clumsy, but it's not bad.

Poured from 375mL bottle (thanks Toni CaptainMurphy). Chill hazed dull gold with small white head. Pedio, medium tartness, very feint gooseberry. Okay.

A 473ml can from Inverness NSLC. A very well balanced citrus and peach IPA with the wild yeast really working.

375mL bottle, pours a cloudy, dark-ish orange with a small white head. Aroma has some phenols, light funk, and a touch of leather. Flavour definitely has some burnt rubber, light funk, some lemon tang, and a touch of leather. I can’t really get past the phenolic character. It’s not terrible, but the yeast expression just doesn’t work.

473mL can (fucked up can), pours a muddy dark yellowish brown with a small white head. Aroma has some oxidation, herbal notes, and a touch of elderflower. Flavour is somewhat oxidized, with estery notes, light elderflower, and weird herbal and fungal notes. This is quite messed up.

375mL bottle. Pours murky gold with a white head. Wild yeast, wood, and a bit of burnt rubber on the nose. Flavour has a bunch more phenols, dry wood, wild yeast. I do appreciate the intent that went into making this beer, but this didn't really turn out that well. I hope they continue to brew beer like this so that they can improve the recipe.
