750ml bottle at shae. Golden pour, clear, small foamy bubbly head. Aroma is the expected tartness, sweet, fruity, wine. Taste is all white grape, with a nice pucker and the regular de Garde funk at the finish.

Bottled 1/21, consumed on 7/31/21. Poured from a 750mL bottle into my Drie de Fonteinen tumbler.

Initially clear Hunyahi yellow to clover green/gold gradient. Highly active foam recedes to nothing fairly rapidly. Ghost like legs, no tears.

Lively funky nose. Barnyard, citrus, minerals, vanilla, clove, washed cheese rind, unripe apples and pears…complex, unusual and hard to pin down.

The flavor profile follows the nose, delivering the funk with greater potency. Sweet jolly rancher infused palate entry gives way to white wine notes and finishes medium dry with a wave of minerality overwhelmed by tartness and some white tea notes. Light barrel notes round things out.

Light bodied, almost effervescent, yet faintly sticky.

Distinguished wine like wild ale, with more complexity and subtlety than funk or sourness. Worth seeking out, especially for the price ($22).

Slightly unfiltered hazy golden yellow body. Crisp lemon and wet funk. White grape must, but the first word coming to mind is funk. Impressively complex, mildly oaky, white vinous character. Medium bodied, not quite slick but not dry. Quite exquisite.

Burnt gold with a puffy white head settling to a short collar.

Funky and fruity, straight away it strikes me as if it's a fruited Broken Truck, of which we just had a batch 5 bottle yesterday.

There's a touch of that rubbery, resinous cannabis and cedary funk BT is known for, accented by sweet yet dry Germanic white grape that comes into a splintery oak, exhaling an unexpected touch of taffy.

The grape here really helps the base along, to the point I enjoy it much more than BT.
