750mL bottle, pours a clear light pale golden with a quickly-dissipating, medium white head. Aroma is complex, with lots of barnyard funk, lots of oak, some white grape skins, and a little bitterness. Flavour is funky and oaky as hell, with tons of barnyard funk, lots of oak, some bitter astringency, and some dry white grape skins. Funky, oaky, bitter finish. Excellent.

Bright, gold, no head though. Aroma is more rounded versus the regular edition, mellow, giving off the riesling that dips into drupaceous accents. Mild woody notes. Lower carbo than the regular, though that allows a more minerally character to emerge from the base. The riesling is definitely softer on this one, but it's got a bigger woody character, particularly more dryness.

750ml (thx, Phill!) @ Matt's house. Appearance: hazy straw with a white head. Aroma: nice funk, minerals, a bit of oak. Taste: along the same lines, a bit bitter than lambics in general. Overall: it's almost as nice as Lambic, but still a bit not up to there.

750mL bottle, pours a hazy dull golden with a small white head. Aroma is very funky, with lots of barnyard funk (like a lambic), with intense white wine grapes, and some rustic notes. Flavour is aggressively funky, with tons of barnyard funk, champagne-like effervescence, and a touch of white wine grape skins. High carbonation, leaving minute traces of phenols. Love the funk, the high carb, and the subtle accentuation of grape. Honestly, this can compete with some good lambics.

Pale and a bit dull. The aroma is bright and vinous, with a bit of leatheriness to it. On the palate, there's a great grape note, and again a bit of leather. Good complexity to this. Balanced, this comes together very well.

Poured from 750mL bottle (bottled 04/2020). Fizzy hazed gold with small white head. Aroma of manure, lemon, funk. Taste of manure, funk, feint vinous notes. Enjoyable, maybe a touch too manure-y (more manure than horseblanket imo).

375ml from Khoury's in Hendo. Month in the fridge. Mojito glass at home. Clear if a touch jellied. Medium gold, tall frothy head, active body. Floral, dank, sweet apricot, Brett nose. Bittersweet, strong orange pith, really heavy oak, lemon, thyme, grass, almond, powdered sugar, peachy finish with moderate astringency. Missing that last note. Frothy, moderate acid, light tartness, in check abv. A bit heavy handed but lots of the flavors & feels I expected. Good.

Pale amber, big head. Earthy, porcini broth, stone fruit - okay I need to put those two things together cause that somehow works here. Woody, dry, tannic character and light stone fruitiness.

Hazy peachy colour, medium head. Big fat kayısı like next level. Wow. The Turks would lose their minds over this. Medium lactic acidity, bright apricot. Not crushing the complexity but goddamn that is some of the best apricot I have ever had in a beer. Big thwack of juniper in the finish, this is baller.
