Bottle shared in London - sourced via the brewery. Pours lightly hazy gold with a creamy white head. Refreshingly tart with moderate citric bite, soft woody dryness, lemon candies. Light bodied with light, massaging carbonation. Clean finish, tart and dry, nice pale wood notes, quenching acidity. Great stuff. Highly drinkable.

Bottle split at L6, thanks to Leighton, 05/09/18. Murky pale yellow to blonde with a decent off white cap that dissipates to a swirl. Nose is pissy lemon, funk, damp oak, grape must, damp alleyway. Taste comprises grass, pissy citric peel, barnyard esters, funk, hay bale, damp wood, green berry piss, lemon sherbet, grains. Medium bodied, fine massaging carbonation, drying close with balanced acidity. Sublime stuff for the ABV ... great balance of funk and acidity ... up there with the very best lambics.
