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.

FHF 2024. Appearance: almost clear copper with a beige head. Aroma: pleasant toffee and sweetness, some nice booze. Taste: a bit thin, quite bitter, no sweetness, some toffee and caramel. Overall: wish it would have more alignment with aroma.

Can, pours a hazy dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma has a nice spicy rye character, fermented out cherries, and some wild yeast. Flavour is bone dry, with totally fermented out cherries, spicy rye, some wild yeast, and earthiness. Very dry, spicy and only lightly fruity. Too dry and not enough depth, but nothing wrong here. Pleasant.

Poured from the tap @ Iron Road. Cloudy gold with small white head. Fucking odd. A bit chalky, some cheap botanical gin, feint citrus hops. Good on them for trying some wacky outside the box stuff, but it's just a mess.

Pale colour. It's yeasty, and then gets vinous. Light body. The vinous character is the standout, I don't think I'm getting sumac and strawberry maybe a tiny bit.

On tap at Farmhouse Fest 2023, pours a hazy dark copper with a small white head. Aroma brings out pungent strawberry, light vinous notes and a touch of bugs. Flavour is full of tart, dry strawberries, light wild bugs, and a hint of vinous notes. Nice strawberry notes but not much complexity. Decent.

On tap at Farmhouse Fest 2023, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out gentle bugginess and muddled earthiness. Flavour is muddled, with earthy bugginess and gentle bready malt. Not very complex or integrated but pleasant enough. Meh.
