(375ml bottle c/o Herbalist, thanks!) Pours nearly clear gold with a small white head and no lace. Aroma is definitely adjacent to oaky Riesling, with candied lemon, soft peach, smooth white wine, touch of tannin, acidic pale berries (not explicitly sea buckthorn), quite some decent oak, some minerality, moderate earthy funk. Flavour is moderately tart and lightly sweet, wine-adjacent for sure; soft and zesty lemon, soft stone fruit, the mineral saline bite of sea buckthorn, wet rock, hay-like funk not out of line with natural wine, oak is pretty soft compared to the nose, drying in the finish, lingering lemon/orange fruity bite and minerality. Light bodied but slick and almost oily, near-flat. Very smooth, not overly complex nor simple, with good quenching balance from the adjuncts. Tasty.

Tasting at Ryan's, bottle
Hazy blond colour. Interesting blended aroma of Madeira and Saison, sweet. Quite vinous, moderately sweet, with some Saison tones. Woody. The wine character is strong, the final result is very good.

375mL bottle, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of rustic saison yeast, some gentle lemon rind, straw and mineraly notes. Flavour is much along the same lines, with rustic saison yeast, straw, mineraly notes, and a touch of lemon. Rustic and mineraly finish. Simple but decent.
