Salmon colour and quite hazy. Has a nice stone fruit depth, fairly bracing acidity. It's not bad, but comes across fairly basic. I think the tartness in the finish isn't great, as it gets a bit sharp.

750mL bottle, pours a cloudy peachy pink with a small white head. Aroma brings lots of stone fruits, gentle funk, cherry, and some woodiness. Flavour is very tart, with lots of cherry pits, a bit of wild yeast, moderate acidity, and wood. Very sour on the cherries and the complexity isn't all that high. Pleasant stuff.

375ml bottle - bottled February 26th 2020 - brewed for Grassroots at Crooked Stave in Denver - labeled as 5.5% abv - maybe time for a new entry? - hazy light gold - nose is lightly tart - the rice is really apparent - an underlying funk and muskiness/horseblanket - light, dry, and moderately tart - rice less apparent in the flavor than the nose - lemongrass, tart white grape - dry, lactic tartness on the tail end, with lingering tart fruit and a light funk - refreshing and enjoyable, but nothing revelatory.

Super smooth, lemon has mellowed but is still there. Not super funky

Cork-top bottle, 0.75l, almost 4 years old. Aroma of brett, grapes, must, horse blanket, cereals and citrus. Pours cloudy pale golden color with thick creamy white head and sparkling appearance. Taste starts light to medium sweet grainy, following is bretty, woody, phenolic and slightly vinous, mouthfeel is smooth, while finish is mild to medium bitter. Medium body, creamy texture and average carbonation in palate. Roots grassy roots...

Bottle: pours a bit hazy pinkish red with pinkish head. Aroma is hibiscus, lightly spicy, funky yeastiness. Taste is tart, flowery, very dry, not acidic. Very pleasant drinking generally speaking. Good hibiscus and yeasty aftertaste.
