750 recently picked up from the brewery - a blend farmhouse ale and coolship fermented farmhouse ale - this blend was bottled in 2022 - lightly hazy light gold - lively carbonation fails to kick up a head - nose of light funk, light acetobacter, honey, melon, white wine, flowers - lightly sweet approach, followed by Chardonnay character, oak, drying acid - tail end has white peach, light funk, light prickly acid - balanced and subtle.

Bottle picked up from the brewery on a recent road trip - dark ruby, nearly black, thin tan lace - nose of treacle, toffee, fig, date, port wine, oak - flavors of port, fig, raisin, date, leather, earthy - really light background funk and oxidation - the barrel treatment is very subtle/understated and delicate - the 14% abv is not at all detectable - very traditionally British - the fact that they grew all the grain themselves (apparently in a single field) is a huge accomplishment and a testament to the love that went into this, which is apparent in the finished product - excellent.
