5oz taster. Appearance: hazy straw with a huge white head, Aroma: lots of bugs, really loads, some woody and fruity character. Taste: a bit dirty, some lacto, quite low carbonation, medium body. Finishes with some bugs. Overall: nose is really nice, but taste is not very prominent, unfortunately.

Can - hazy gold - buggy funk nose with pretty deep oak character, white grape, and underlying notes of fruity, citric hops - flavor has a mild to moderate tartness/acidity, bright fruitiness, buggy funk, tangy oak - after the approach, the complexity is a little lacking - mostly just moderate acetic character - the finish is fairly oaky, with some notes of white wine - would like a bit more complexity through the middle, but it overall has a decent balance and doesn't become overwhelmingly acidic or tart.

Not sure how much these ones vary batch to batch, but of course with GP there's always some sort of variance. Pale gold, bright, with a medium head. Soft malt, light brett, this almost seems scaled back from prior editions.

Hazy pale amber, thin head. It'�s tart, lightly fruity, a bit more tart than I prefer but all good. The hops don't make much of an impression, though with these varieties that doesn't necessarily surprise me.

Pale and somewhat murky appearance. Some light bugs, and aroma also shows it to be quite yeasty. On the palate, it'�s tart, raw, seems like it'�s going off but it'�s not, it'�s just adopting the garden path vibe. Not optimal for me, because it'�s more rustic than even the most rustic lager anywhere else in the known world. (I mean, Falkenberg zoigl is made without electricity and is less rustic than this)

Good fruit on this one. Nice complexity, as the bugs are doing good things again, and the sweet malt base is hitting. The fir tips get into the finish a bit, lending this beer enjoyable nuance.

5oz taster during a meeting with Tom. Appearance: purple-ish Aroma: some blueberries, smoke, and fir. Taste: along the same lines, more on the blueberry side, thankfully, bit tart. Overall: nicely balanced, good one.
