Bottle from Holiday Market. Pours a clear, bright gold with a finger of white foam. Brett-forward nose with horseblanket, hay, mineral aromas and some light pear and stone fruit notes as it warms. Soft and pillowy mouthfeel with lowish carbonation. Yeast leaves a dry character on the palate with dried pear, horseblanket and lingering yeast. Smooth and abv is hidden quite well.

Bottle from Holiday Market. Pours a clearish orange gold with a small bit of foam around the edges. Lots of horseblanket, oak, dried citrus zest up front, then pepper and apricot aromas. Medium to lower carbonation on the palate with more funky barnyard, wet hay and oak that comes through. Dry finish with more citrus pith, oak and light vanilla on the finish. Good but not great. I still very high on B+B and look forward to big things from them.

Nice stuff. Easy going, soft and creamy. Aroma is fruity but taste more dry. But some fruit there too. Very easy drinking. Gets even better as you go on. Cheers Will!
