On tap at Theodore, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Nose has gentle champagne, woody dry-hopping, and wild bugs. Flavour is tart, buggy and hoppy, blending nice champagne notes, with light tartness, wild yeast, and earthy, floral dry-hopping. Not remotely convincing as a gueuze, but as a hoppy mixed ferm ale, this is very nice.

On tap at The Wandering Tortoise, pours a clear bright amber orange with a small white head. Aroma has somewhat acetic cherries, light bugginess, and some metallic notes. Flavour is extremely sharp, with all sorts of problems: for one, there's a lot of acetic notes, then come the phenols, and then some metallic notes. The cherries are bone dry, and there's little bugginess that can cut through all the problems. Borderline egregious, but really just incompetent and disappointing.

Bottle from Cikoko: pours hazy orange with white head. Aroma is funk and apricot. Taste is quite sour and acidic. Plenty of apricot. Fine but I wish it wasn't so acidic.

Cohesion barley plus primitive funk, what more can you ask for? Crisp but flavor packed upfront, barley juice and funk.

Blend 2 of my first primitive in Denver. So good, easy drinking peaches.

These are some magical honeydew melons, that or the chardonnay barrel packed some heat, or both! It's delicious. Stonefruit packed tannic and tart fun.

Mmmm the rye goes far here, also plenty of tangy dry funk. Delish

So much fresh nectarine flavor for being 5 years old, reminds me of Casey except spon π. Tart upfront but afterwards you're in a sea of sweet funky nectarines.

5 years later and this is still delicious. Didn't need to air it out or decant it either. Real nice almost zenne almost oloroso finish, hint of tartness upfront. Tons of delicious fruity funk.
