Bottle thanks to Leighton. It pours hazy gold with a small white head. The nose is sweet, juicy, apricot, passion fruit, mango, straw and um bungo. The taste is crisp, bitter, straw, grassy, lemon rind, grapefruit, soapy, earth and pepper with a dry, somewhat citric finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. All right.

Bottle shared in London - sourced from Ales by Mail. Pours unclear yellow-gold with a frothy white head. The nose holds some semi-ripe citrus, minerals, pine needles. Light sweet flavor with lots of dry, flinty minerals, lemon rind, some grapefruit pith. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Dry finish, lots more mineral flint, some pale grains, rindy citrus. Fair. Too much flint and rind, though.

Bottle thanks to Leighton. It pours hazy brown with a medium beige head. The nose is piney, roasty, big coffee, earth, umami and light soy sauce action. The taste is bitter, toasty, coffee, piney, earth, dirt, brown sugar, caramel, wood, pepper, brown bread and faint citrus with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Not quite sure the balance is there. Interesting....

Bottle shared in London - sourced from BeerRitz. The nose has a bit of cheese and light cereal, hints of lemon. Light sweet flavor with a bit of wheat, ripe lemon, pale grains, mild vomit, creamy cheese. Light bodied with fine, spritzy carbonation. Finishes with a bit of mild cheese, oily texture, dry wheat. Definitely some off notes here.

Bottle thanks to Leighton. It pours cloudy gold with a medium white head. The nose is soft, juicy, grapefruit, pomello, limeade, straw, light cheese and dough. The taste is crisp, doughy, minerals, straw, grassy, cheesecake, grapefruit rind and lemon with a dry finish. Light body and moderate carbonation. Where is the tartness?! Weird cheesy vibe about it. A rare miss from W&T.
