What Our Editors Thought

Sharp yet cottony thistle-like floral nose over mildly medicinal earthy citrus. The sip is like chicken on a grill with squeezed lime—charred-earth and slightly bitter undertones, with a bright pop of citrus. Thought provoking.

What Our Panel Thought

Earthy, leathery Brett in the nose, with a confusing blend of roses, banana, cherry, and peach/apricot. Flavor slingshots between floral, fruity, and funky, never quite settling; gardenias and roses wrestle with berries, peaches, and leathery Brett. Earthy bitterness. Never forms a cohesive whole.

What the Brewers Say

Blend of three different vintages—2016, 2017, and 2018—of 100 percent spontaneously fermented beer.
