Tasting at Ferris’; batch 5
Murky pale blond color. Sour aroma, lemony, a bit of hazelnut too. Light mouthfeel, highly carbonated; very lemony; not much depth or complexity, but it has a good degree of acidity.
Daring.

750mL bottle, pours a hazy blonde with a large, very quickly-dissipating white head. Nose brings out wonderful funk, apples, and almost some honey sweetness. Flavour is very complex, with tannins, farmhouse funk, dry apples and light acidity. Amazingly well-rounded, with perfect funk and woodiness. Carbonation is very high but fitting. Fantastic stuff.

Pepper nose. Milky yellow, still. Tangy and hot, pepper, crabapple, and lime. Light body, but spicy and tart.Pepper adds some heat, but should be palatable for most. Truly excellent.
