Poured from 500mL bottle (bottled Aug 2018). Slightly hazy gold with small white head. Rye, earthiness, acetic acid, odd bugs, definitely gone off in the past 5 years.

2018 vintage. 500mL bottle, pours a cloudy dark-ish orange with a small white head. Aroma has an odd acetic character, with a bizarre earthiness and some weird mixed bugs. Flavour is barely drinkable, with mega acetic notes, weird earthiness, mixed bugs, oak, and cardboard. Jesus -- this is undrinkably acetic and has all sorts of other weird off-notes. Bad.
