500mL bottle, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma is buggy and complex, with bright stone fruits, a touch of grape must, and gentle oak. Flavour is nicely tart, with a bright stone fruit character (apricots or nectarines), despite there being no stone fruit in here, along with gentle grape pomace, some oak, and great bugginess. Complex and wonderfully integrated. Excellent.

500mL bottle. Pours clear orange-gold with a white (#ffffff) head. Loads of musty grape skins, funky yeast, and nectarines on the nose. Flavour has musty grape skins, some nectarine-like stone fruit character, very rustic, funky yeast. This is fantastic.

500ml @ Brian's shared with Ryan and Phill.
Aroma: funky like a lambic, some acidity.
Taste: like a mix of saison and lambic, nice oak and pomace.
Overall: good, but still not as great as Floodland, requires some sophistication.

Poured from 500mL bottle (bottled Apr 2023). Hazy gold with small white head. Nice mixed ferm wild yeasts with mild grape pomace and some pils malt underlay. Blends nicely, some very feint yogurt notes, but still quite nice.

Aroma: hazelnut bomb, chocolate.
Taste: along the same lines, a lot of hazelnut, kinda on the thin side for the current standards. It is mostly on the hazelnut side, with some chocolate notes. Hard to find American oak.
Overall: still good.

16 oz. can, pours a hazy blonde with a tiny white head. Nose expectedly light, with subtle rustic farmhouse notes and toasted grains. Flavour is pretty faint, with gentle tartness, gentle bugginess, and toasted grains. Under-carbed, which doesn’t help this kind of beer. It’s alright but pretty underwhelming for HM.

Pale, some haze, medium head. There's some brett and a bit of pedio. The body is light, with some more brett, a bit of pear note, a bit of tartness, something a bit odd, on the ferm. Pedio is definitely stronger on the palate. It's not bad, but something not quite right.

Can from Tavour. Pours very dark amber with a large but transient beige head. Aroma of amber malt, corn and a slight grass/spice. Med body. Flavor is pretty much the aroma. Malty/corny but fairly unsweet. Nicely bitter for balance. The light grass/spice is nice. Good drink.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear bright gold with a large white head. Aroma is light citrus/spice supported by pale malt. Med body. Flavor suggests some English ales. However, there is a lot of grass/spice and notes of resin. Finally it becomes rather like a Czech ale. Very nice flavor.
