Huge, fluffy orangey head over copper-orange beer, lively carbonated and leaving shards of lace. Cardboard, white pepper, old oak, dark green leaves and wild yeasts. Dry, stonefruit; quinces, yes, if with all sugars extracted. Wild yeasts, some wood, exotic roots & vegetables. Preserved orangepeel. Feels well-bodied for a 6.3%, let alone a wild ale. Very good carbonation. Nice!!
