375mL bottle at the brewery. Clear brass-bronze-golden. Small, white head steadily to partial cover. Yeah, that does smell pretty sublime. A far cry from the super-acidic Wild Childs they have in bottles. A nice blend of assertive, moderately buttery oak, strong, cherry-like Brett and moderate, mellow lactic character. Nice rich maltiness with honey and light graham cracker-like notes. No booze, low acetic. Buttery oak, moderate, but mellowed acetic and strong but fairly mellow lactic acidity. Big malts with rich, buttery oak. Reminds me of a California Chardonnay, but a high quality one. Definitely a step up from the current wild child's, but still wouldn't hate if they dialed back that acetic character.

Can consumed on my day of birth. It pours lightly hazy luminous golden - yellow with a fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh, bright, freshly cut grass, dank, slightly herbal, sticky, resin, sappy pine, ripe orangey fruits, marmalade, juicy, mango, papaya and a splash of Fanta. The taste delivers a very pleasing hit of bitterness upfront which lingers throughout, drying, green, weedy, herbal, slightly dank, spicy vibes, pithy, zesty, orange rind, grapefruit, pomelo, tropical accents, mango, papaya, pine needles and big ol' slap of alcohol towards the back end to keep you in check. Finish is green and bitter. Medium body and moderate, well appointed carbonation. Hides abv very well. Exquisite balance and high drinkability. Lovely.

Can from Explosivedog: barely misty with sediment. Big white head. Aroma is citrus, mango, spice, some tropics. Easy drinking for size. Pretty intense. Sorr of bitter. Very fruity. Spiciness adds an element in mouthfeel. A lot.

Can. Pours slightly hazy gold. Mango, pear, black pepper, tangerine, peach, softly herbal, little minerally, papaya. Nice soft body. Outstanding.
From backlog. Can, at a share in Brøttum. Cloudy pale Golden with big white head. Malts, hops, yeast, Citrus, Fruity, bitterness, some booze.
I think it is a little darker than the regular version.
