Bottle shared by Armin, thanks! Pours a murky amber brown with a light yellowish brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma is red wine forward with grass, light funk and a hint of citrus. Flavor has light tart fruits and red wine with backing notes of light grain and funk.

Poured from a Batch #3 bottle. Aroma is really nice with some light grain notes, medium citrus, medium light tropical and stone fruit and a light peppery note. Reminds me a lot of Saison Bernice but with some light oak. Pours a slightly hazy, yellow gold with a large, pillowy white head. Head exhibits nice retention as it slowly recedes into itself. Moderate lacing and small legs. Flavor is lightly to moderately tart with a nice lemon, citrus note. Light grain notes with medium bitterness. Light woodsy, peppery phenolic note. Medium light tropical and stone fruit with a light mineral quality. Light oak notes. Mouthfeel is medium to medium light bodied with nice carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, this is stupidly good and very similar to Bernice. It might be a slight bit tarter with a bit more lemon and less stone and tropical fruit. The oak adds some complexity, but also a bit of tannins.

The beer is yellow-tan and quite cloudy. Big white head. Seems like solid enough retention. Some lacing, etc. The aroma has a big fresh grain flavor. Light and very pleasant. Some wine barrel. A tiny bit of band aid/medicinal flavor. A little bit of funk. Taste is light and fresh. A bit more of that Belgian medicinal flavor. Mild oak. Soft vinous note. Fairly dry.

Tasting at Matt’s
Dark purple color with small pink head. Strong sour aroma, with deep fruity connotation, a bit sweaty, light acetone, a bit of fruit kernels. The acidity is so much that makes pure lemon juice easy to drink; there is some berry juice. Astringent final too, along with the acidity.
Frankly excessive, ungraceful, I’m not even sure this is nice to drink, but I got a small glass anyway.

Murky orange-bond color, small head; the bottle is a bit of a gusher. Very nice aroma, apricots, grapefruit, lemon, hence sour. Abrasive sourness (a bit too much), but avoiding the acetone trap (a bit in the end); moderate fruity touch, mostly lemon juice.
Excellent aroma, less interesting flavor (with no elegance, just brutal).

Poured from a bottle courtesy of popery. Aroma is has a medium light ester note with a lot of pear, red apple and lighter stone fruit. Light citrus note. Moderate grain notes with a bit of a bread note. Pours a hazy, pale, yellow straw with a medium sized, thick, white head with decent retention as it recedes to a thin film that lingers. Moderate lacing and faint legs. Flavor has a light sweetness with a bit of grain, bread and wheat. Medium light acidity with some light lemon notes. Medium low esters of pear, stone fruit and light banana. Medium bitterness. Light floral and spice hop notes. Dry finish. Mouthfeel is medium light to light bodied. Low, but present astringency with low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice grisette with nice ester and malt profile. Light acidity and soft mouthfeel. Faint hop character.
