On tap at FHF 2024, pours a dull cloudy murky yellow with a small white head. Aroma had some juniper berries, muddled yeast, and stone fruit pith. Flavour has plenty of juniper, with gentle sweetness, and a touch of funk. Nice use of juniper — more cohesive than I expected based on the nose. Good.

On tap at FHF 2024, pours a hazy pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma has rustic toasted grains and gentle peaches. Flavour is juicy, with lots of juicy peaches, some grains, and gentle wild yeast. Juicy and gentle. It's solid enough.

On tap at FHF 2024, pours an opaque dark reddish brown with a small white head. Aroma is chaotic, bringing out very rough wild yeast and gentle berries — smells rough. Flavour is chaotic and rough, with tons of chaos — lots of chaotic yeast, glue, perfume, and earthiness. This is total chaos. Awful.

On tap at FHF 2024, pours a deep dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out lots of brown sugar, toasted caramel, and some earthiness. Flavour is rather harsh, with burnt sugars, chaotic alcohol, and earthiness. Harsh and burnt finish, but there's some nice maltiness. It's okay.
