Grapefruit, hard to tell what's from wild yeast and what's from Nelson. Pours hazy orange with good head and great lacing. Pretty good on colour. Somre bretta, light tart finish. Snally.

750mL bottle, blend #1, 2021, drunk 10/12/25.
Clear, bright, copper-tinged brass-golden with a big, creamy, white head that sits at cover persistently.
Nose is pretty spectacular for 4 years old. Man, the science of aged hops is really confounding and interesting, but there's something to the barrel that seems to preserve them. Whatever the case, this is still nice and hoppy with huge mineral/sulfur and delicate white wine-like notes. Gentle acidity and gentle oak contribute complexity and aroma without much acidity.
Similar in the mouth with big mineral/sulfur and big malt textures with excellent attenuation. Pinot Grigio-like wine notes and mild lime/lemon/kumquat. Doesn't seem tired at all. Incredibly carbonated at this point, even. Needs swirling. Really amazing mix of yeast, bug, barrel, hop...some slight caramel creeping in does show its age, but that's about the only "criticism" I can think of here.

Pour at Snallygaster 2025. Poured a nearly pitch black color with a small tan head. Big, and slightly boozy. Smooth with a little bit of heat. Pretty tasty barleywine.

Massive amounts of vanilla, coconut, some cocoa, barrel notes, bourbon, toffee and hints of syrup. Quite massive and tasty. Great

Fruity, juicy and slightly citrusy with some nectarine, lemon, tartness and slightly funky farmyardy mineraly notes. Pretty balanced and tasty

Sweetish, slightly spicy and syrupy with some hints of stingy apple brandy, cinnamon and loads of vanilla. A bit heavy slow sipper.
