Bottle at home thanks to James, 29/07/17. Light haze on a golden orange pour with a moderate off white head that soon dissipates. Nose is lemon rind, spice, herbs, Sumac, grains, straw. Taste is herbal remedies, pissy, thyme, light brett, hay bale, mixed spice rack, lemon sours. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Interesting stuff ... not sure id revisit but fair play for having a go!
