750ml @ Ryan's shared with Phill.
Aroma: funky, some minerals, noticeable oak, notes.
Taste: along the same lines, moderate carbonation, oaky, some fruity notes (kinda apples?).
Overall: clean, crispy, quality, but still lacks that nice funky aggressiveness component.

Poured from 750mL bottle (thanks Derek & JF). Clear gold with very minimal white head. Nice funk with gentle tartness and minerality, a touch on the thinner side and could use some more carbonation (I did sit on this for about a year), but has some nice flavours, decent North American attempt at a Lambic.

Bottle: Poured a cloudy beige color ale with a medium size foamy head with limited retention and light lacing. Aroma of tart notes with some oak and funky esther mix with some dune pepper and flowery notes. Taste is also a mix of dune pepper, flowery notes with some oak and oak features and a tart finish with no acidity. Body is about average with good carbonation. Enjoyable wild ale with nice complexity due to dune paper and other flowery ingredients.

Dull and hazy. No head. It foamed up upon opening, but otherwise it's aroma of basil, ginger, lime. On the palate, it's got mostly the herbal notes, the lime, and a fair bit of wildness. Light body with high carbonation, so it's on the refreshing side. I guess I can imagine some tomato here.

Poured from 750mL bottle (thanks Derek & JF; 2024 vintage). Gushed a bit on opening. Chill hazed blonde with quickly dissipating white head. Basil aroma permeates the room on opening. Mild sour with feint tomato and nice underlying basil character, feint hint of mint. Prefer this more than V.2. Decent.

Body is about average with good carbonation. Enjoyable wild ale with a nice level of complexity and the haskap bring good flavors.
