Poured from 750mL bottle. Orangey red with small pink-ish white head. Nice pluot forward with plum backing, a touch thin-medium bodied compared to 2021 and 2022.

750mL bottle. Pours murky dull red with a small white head. Tons of plums and pluots on the nose. Flavour has a dry, spicy saison yeast, tons of juicy plums and pluots, and bitter, slightly acidic pits. A very juicy saison, maybe lacking some of the more rustic aspects of a saison, but it comes together very well.

750ml @ SF shared with Phill and Josh (thx for the beer!).
Aroma: a lot of botanicals, flowers, kinda soapy.
Taste: along the same lines, botanical bomb, tastes like gin+tonic with some herbs added.
Overall: too much botanicals 😬🤯

Pale, opaque. Thin head. Aroma is mellow stone fruit, and on the palate it's bright...really nice plums, honeyish, soft apricot, mellow pale malt. Light bugs. Very good balance. I mean, damn, this character is excellent and the balance is fantastic.

Poured from 750mL bottle (bottled 07/07/2022). Hazed yellow gold with small white head. Plums and pluots with feint white wine vinous notes. Very nice.

750mL bottle, pours a hazy yellowish blonde with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with intense peaches (or nectarines?) with plenty of bugs, maybe a tiny hint of the white grapes. Flavour really marries the stone fruits and Riesling wonderfully—lots of juicy peaches, subtle white wine grape, plenty of complex bugs, and oak in beautiful cohesion. Complex and juicy as hell. This is awesome.

Opaque. No head even though it frothed up a bit upon opening. Bright apricot and riesling, honeyish and bright. It's even got a touch of toastiness on the nose. The white wine character is more prominent on the palate, and there's a blast of nectarine coming through the finish. Again, an bit of dry toastiness to it. Full body malt, and maybe a touch of bugginess, but not much, certainly less than is usually apparent in Floodland beers. These flavours go well together. This is a great blend.

Poured from 750mL bottle. Cloudy blonde with small white head. Peach, light nectarine, underlying vinous Riesling character, feint creamy tea character on the taste. Well balanced, very nice.

750mL bottle. Pours murky yellow with a white head. Nose is super musty with lots of barnyard funk and nectarines. Flavour is super funky with lots of musty nectarines, barnyard funk, grape skin must, some spicy saison yeast as well. Great, complex farmhouse beer.

750ml (thx, Josh for a perfect logistics execution!) @ Ryan's shared with Farees.
Aroma: nice and elegant farmhouse notes with some buckwheat notes, crispy.
Taste: along the same lines, very good balance, great farmhouse complexity with nice light grainy bitterness.
Overall: whoa, the best Floodland plain saison and the best Floodland beer I've ever had so far, amazing!
