750ml bottle pours a murky purple with some pink head. Nose has a lot. It has raspberry, but huge berry patch. Like the soil and green leaves of the patch. Something plasticky though. Like garden hose. Flavor has raspberry and cherry, some malt, lots of oak and wood. Bone dry. Like dead dry. Huge minerality too. 8 8 8.5 9 8

Bottle pour shared by ClarkVV--thanks, Clark! Hazy, golden yellow, with ring of head no lacing. Aroma is strong funk, tart fruit, wheat, oak, white wine. Taste mirrors aroma with tart fruit stronger than funk. Soft carbonation, finish as taste. Good strength, complexity and balance. Very nice!

1.5 liter magnum. Aroma has mild fecal matter, oak, old wheat. Lots of bacteria in here. Mildly tart, softly sour, light barn yard. Light acid. Great palate change up

1.5L bottle drunk 8/9/25.
Clear brass, minimal carbonation.
Smells funky, lambicy, soft and round with lots of fruity, juicy, lightly vanilla-like oak. Really clear and bright aroma with stone fruit, unripe tropical fruit.
Stone fruit, chewy wheat and big, fruity notes with light honey and mildly tart acids. Good homogeneity and a refreshing zestiness. Very approachable and still flavorful and kickin' at 8 years of age. Feels like you could age this another 10 years easily.

Magnum at the sharing. Assuming this is blend 1. Light yellow and still looking body. Nose is wine and citrus. Tatses of wine, and woody, and apricot and goose berry. Lively body. Nice refreshing
Thanks Clark tart, light funk, citrus. Balanced, nice and crisp.

8/8/2025. Cask at GBBF 2025. Decent pour. Aroma is citrusy, gooseberry, touch of passion fruit. Dry and bitter taste. Not bad.

Cask at GBBF 25. Hazy dull orange. No head. Aroma is juicy but with a tart edge - citrus and resin. Flavourwise it's even more tart. Citrus ans gooseberry with a res8n edge. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Flat carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Decent.
