Draught at the brewery, 11/5/16.
Clear, beeswax-blonde body shows a small, white head with modest to moderately low retention.
Lots of mushy peach and nectarine in the nose (hops mixing with the malt sugars), with azacca adding a bit more aggressive notes of pine, orange rind, sweet apricot. Rather dull, maybe from the malt, maybe from some slight resin? Not boozy or estery, though, so it’s hard to pinpoint what exactly went wrong here. I suppose nothing really "went wrong" but it’s just very underwhelmingly pedestrian with no bright, vivacious hop notes and an incredibly lackluster texture of watery, loose carbonation, lightly sweet malt and dull bitterness. Surprisingly disappointing miss from these guys.

Leighton’s flat clearance. Thanks to Leighton. As ’Harper I’.Hazy gold beer, small white head. Palate is light, dry and has a fine crispness. Good punchy apricot, sourish lemon and some lemon sherbet. Mild orange. Whisper of that bitter nutty taste that sours sometimes get but thankfully not that strong here. Light finish. Interesting beer.

Bottle thanks to Reynolds314. Shared at a tasting. I had honestly totally forgotten where this came from and I was not expecting much. Pours crystal clear pale golden, medium white head, dissipates fairly slowly, good lacing. Aroma is citrus, tropical fruit, mineral water, Brett. Flavor is dry, light tart, light clean Bretty funk, juicy lemony grapefruit and passionfruit. Light body. Clean and a really enjoyable beer. Winner.
