500ml can - I guess we missed the chance to attend the actual celebration, but should be happy to still be able to try the brew, eh?
This beer pours a murky, medium apricot amber colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and fizzy tan head, which leaves some sparse fish school profile lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of musty and yet tart generic citrus flesh, earthy yeast, a suggestion of barnyard funkiness, gritty and grainy pale cereal malt, and very subtle leafy and floral green hop bitters. The taste is sour lemon and other more exotic citrus rind, some earthy yeastiness, browned pineapple, bland pale malt, wet wheat crackers, some ethereal woodsy notes, and more understated leafy, herbal, and gently perfumed floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its basic bitch frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and not particularly smooth, as the tart and yeasty characters don't play that, yo! It finishes trending dry, with the citrus fruitiness and faded yeasty wood essences predominating.
Overall, this is much less of a hot mess than I was anticipating - the (now that I've looked at the label more closely) yuzu fruit addition really controlling things, as it were. And the oak component is quite ephemeral, which contributes to the essential dryness of it all. Interesting, with a well-concealed north of 15-proof wowee sauce measure, but I'm content with just having tried it.

From can. Hazy golden color with off-white head. Aroma is citrusy with fermented lemon notes. Taste is tart, citrusy, slightly spicy. Some earthy/woody notes on the finish. Light body, quite dry, medium carbonation. Leans a bit too much into the spoiled/fermented fruit zone.
