Growler from the blendery. Pours murky yellow, no head. Lovely grassy aroma, some ripening lemon, citrus peel, a little musty hay. Light sweet flavour with further sturdy grassy character, lemon rind, some mellow funk. Medium bodied, still. Quite drying in the finish, with more grassy bitterness, rounded citrus, mostly lemon, pale wood, hay, faint melon. Excellent stuff.

Bottle thanks to Glenn. Pours a cloudy yellow gold with medium off white head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is stone fruit, dough, wheat. Medium body, peach, funk, dough, nice tartness, very good.
