Trying to be a quad. Not quite there but not that far off

473mL can, pours a cloudy bright peachy orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out very bright, gently tart peaches, with gentle bugs. Flavour is loaded with bright peaches, gentle tartness and a touch of bugs. Very peachy and gently tart finish with decent complexity. Very good.

Poured from the tap (2020 - 10th anniversary vintage). Hazy golden orange with small white head. Oak, wild yeast, mild tartness, light stone fruit. Decent, but lacks additional depth.

Big bleach white foam on a clear medium gold body. Yes, more points for better foam, it's important. Smells of funky yeast with floral hops, quite nice. Taste is sweet alcoholic honey, vague grain maybe, finishing smooth with plenty of lingering boozy sugar. Reminds me of those strong Euro lagers you drink under the bridge as a teenager with just a touch of wild yeast to add sophistication.

473ml can. Pours a hazy yellow-gold with a medium, foamy, long lasting, white head that leaves curtains of lace. Mild aroma of bready wheat malt, coriander, lemon and brine. Sweet flavour of bready wheat malt, coriander, lemon, orange and salt in a dry, tart lacto finish. Light body with a watery texture and soft carbonation. Refreshing and crushable, but not one of their best offerings.

Poured from the tap. Bright red with minimal white head. Amburana wood is fairly feint, some clove, mild candied sweet fruit, mild tartness. Okay.

Poured from the tap. Murky orangey yellow with small white head. Lots of citrus, a bit of stone fruit, a little too much rum, a bit hot/unbalanced, but okay.
