500ml bottle. Tangerine aroma with orange, peach, grapefruit, currant and floral hops. Pours hazy golden colored with a large white head that has excellent retention and decent, soapy lacing. Starts with juicy tangerine, peach and currant flavors. Finishes smooth but a touch dry with orange, grapefruit and floral hop flavors. Pretty nice hazy.

510mL bottled Jan 21, 2022, drunk Apr 4, 2026.
Smells fabulous! Stone fruit and lightly buttery oak with evident malt even at 5 years of age and despite the (assumedly) highly attenuative wine yeasts and spontanous cultures. Very round, even, well-aged, with no aggressivity whatsoever.
Bright and balanced in the mouth with a surprising levity and little, yet ample acidity. Honey, biscuit, mild oak and tons of stone fruit and pepper dance on the palate. Still retains a "beer-like" character despite all it has going on. Easy-drinking in the sense of a malty blonde ale without any big tartness to slow you down. Not that I'm gulping the thing down, but...you could. A study in balance. This small batch series is a real gem.

Pale gold, bright, thick head. Medium bitterness, lemony, grapefruit. Not as expressive as I’d like but good structure.

(Bottle, 0.5l, thanks VastActiv, at VastActiv, 20260320) The beer poured golden and hazy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had citrus fruits, mango and zesty fruits. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were citrus fruits, mango, herbalness, zesty notes and bitterness. Aftertaste had citrus fruits and bitterness. Tasty.

Poured from 375mL bottle (bottled 05 06 2016 - about 10 years old). Hazed gold with minimal white head. Quite dry, chardonnay underlay, light wood, sour wild yeasts with a hint of astringency. Decent.
