Sample at GABF 10/07/2017, thanks to my bro for assistance with note-taking. Clear golden color with a medium white head that recedes steadily. Stringy lacing. Aroma of funky yeast, oak, berry and malt. Medium body with flavors of vinous oak, raspberry, funky yeast and malt. The finish is oaky and funky with a yeast and raspberry aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Cloudy golden color. Nice aroma, the vinous character is strong and elegant. Strong body, there is some residual sweetness balancing the strong acidity, some acetone, fruit, wine.
Very good.

375mL bottle, pours a cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma reveals wine barrels upfront, followed by oak, tannins, and stone fruits. Flavour is very vinous, with brett, oak, tannins, and medium acidity. Nice vinous and oak character. Decent, but lacking elegance.

Hazy peachy note .On the nose, somewhat vinous...this has a cleaner taste. Nice vinous note, but that lends it a lot of complexity. Good woody dryness. Complex and tasty.

375mL bottle, pours a cloudy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out highly acidic mango, with red wine barrels, and light brett. Flavour is fairly acidic, with tart mangoes, red wine barrels, and oak. Very acidic. It's okay, but really harsh.

Tan and hazy. There isn't much head. On the nose, there's mango but it clashes a bit with the yeast, Tart. Nice lactic. But the mango is a bit strange...does not cut the sharpness, and it doesn't necessarily do anything for me.
