500ml bottle. Slightly milky, yellow-ish golden colour with average to huge, frothy, slowly diminishing, minimally lacing, white head. Tart-ish, lactic, mildly smoky, wheaty malty aroma, hints of sauerkraut. Taste is mildly tart, tangy, lactic, mildly smoky, minimally citric, fruity and wheaty malty, hints of lemon, lemon peel, sauerkraut, a touch of quince, a salty touch as well. Watery texture, minimally astringent palate, medium, prickly carbonation. Highly refreshing, drinkable - good!

Undated bottle from Tap and Bottle North fridge, drunk 2/12/23. Started with a no-sediment pour and it's a light-amber-golden-bronze. Medium, off-white/light-beige head showing moderately-strong retention. Some vague oxidative and metallic notions, though they mostly pass with warming/breathing. Fairly well-lagered souring isn't punchy or sharply lactic. Adjuncts aren't overdone, I don't even think I could get a sense of what's in this blind. No alcohol. Bready malts with light fruitiness and hints of spice on the finish. Soft and malty with a good dose of lactic acidity, though far from overbearing. Good attenuation, good depth with orange, red fruit, dry, subtle caramel and strong salinity. Bergamot peel adding bitterness to the finish but it's really tastefully done in the adjunct department. Still, nothing too compelling for me here; certainly not the complexity and interest of some of the other beers in this brewer's portfolio.

500 ml bottle. Unclear yellow, creamy head. Lactic acid, dry lemon notes, lactose, grapefruit, some salt, toast. Dry sourness, some bitterness. Light bodied, watery texture, lively carbonated, sour bitter abrupt finish. Again rather disappointing.

Süffiger, hell getreidiger Beginn. Mild rauchig, trocken, spritzig. Die erhöhte Karbonisierung stört im Mittelteil etwas, rund, allerdings wird das Aroma immer schwächer. Spritzig bleibend, kurzer Abgang, gut. 8/11/9/10/8/8

Bottled (KCM Puuvilla). Amber colour, small off-white head. Aroma is lime, some salts, mild herbs and earth. Flavour is somewhat sweet malty with some salts, mild wooden tartness and some lime to it. A bit coriander shows too as it warms up a bit.

Bottle, best before date missing (as far as I can tell), drunk 1/13/23. Undisturbed pour is clear, light golden-brass. Very, very large, frothy, white head, strong retention. Smells fantastic while pouring. Light lactic tartness with lemony acidity and just a hint of salty smoke. Soft, nutty, creamy, buttery wheat and light malts with a dollop of honey. Clean, buttery (not diacetyl) with a bit of peppery phenol from smoke or yeast. In the mouth it's soft, buttery, creamy, rich yet drying heavily with smoke, light lactic tartness and lemony acidity. Lots of lingering salted smoked butter. Not sure this needs yeast stirred in, as it's plenty soft and well-textured and the acidity isnt rampant/unbalanced, but nonetheless, adding in the yeast produces an even creamier, softer beer less reliant on acid and smoke. I think I prefer it with no yeast, though it's certainly intensely soft and creamy with the yeast. Either way, cool beer. Ample texture and flavor for its size, clean, no alcohol or flaw.

500 ml bottle. Unclear dark orange with a foamy head. Stone fruit, lactic acid, metallic notes, sea salt, lemon juice, grapefruit. Dry sourness, metallic bitterness. Light bodied, oily watery texture, lively carbonated, dry acidic sour metallic abrupt finish. Decent mouthfeel at the beginning with a rapid loss of flavor and body. Disappointing.
