What Our Editors Thought

Lemon-caramel on the nose with gentle Bretty funk—deft in approach, yet satisfying. The sip is almost weightless, pushing forward sparkling mineral, hay, lemon, and funk. Smartly blended, vivacious, spirited.

What Our Panel Thought

Somewhat muted aroma with stone fruit, mango, guava, lemon, and vinegar. One-dimensional, acetic flavor: mild tropical fruit, medium acidity, as chalky mineral lingers. Fairly puckering. Strong fruit character is nice. Off-putting acetic notes.

What the Brewers Say

Blended from all five spontaneous batches on June 18, 2019, and bottle-conditioned for seven months.
