750ml from Des Bierschuur shared @ Ryan's with Farees and Alex.
Aroma: funky, minerals, horse blanket, seems more powerful than 2022.
Taste: along the same lines, prominent, quite intense, noticeable (but appropriate) acidity.
Overall: good one 👍

Poured from 750mL bottle (huge cork shot pop). Chill hazed yellow gold with white head. Funky, carbonation, enjoyable, will be super enjoyable in a few more years.

Poured from 750mL bottle. Lightly hazed gold with small white head and light touch of sediment. Very nice funk and balance after 3 years. Enjoyable.
