330mL bottle undated as far as I can tell, drunk 5/18/24. Light amber. Large, off-white head, good retention. Nose has a bit too much crusty, bready, woody, specialty malt and actually not all that much hop. But clean and with no crude ester/phenol. Though could use more black pepper. Soft, but then crusty. But more soft. Red fruit. Malty, woody. Clean. Elegant.

On tap at Kerelshof Cassel. Hazy pale gold colour lasting white head. Funky sour aroma. Definitely a wild yeast. Some dryness. Some good yellow grapefruit from the hops. Reminds me of dd Ranke Cuvee a mix of blond and wild. Very good. The grapefruit flavour is extremely good. Glad I have a toilet on site for the wild yeast tomorrow . Really good

Pale yellow colour with thin head. Aroma is funky and floral. Taste is floral and quite a bitter one. Something like lemon rind. Gentle tanginess.

330mL bottle, pours a deep dark amber with a large beige head. Aroma reveals plenty of estery saison yeast, some old oaky earthiness, and bready malt. Flavour is fairly dry, with a minimally estery saison yeast character, gentle old oak, plenty of earthiness (somewhat murky/muddled), and a big bready malt base. Finishes dry, earthy, and oaky, with a very thick palate. Carbonation is slightly above average, fitting for the style. Not exceptionally complex, but it's competently brewed. Nice one.
