Bottled September, 2022 - enjoyed on June 24th, 2023. Poured from a capped-and-corked 750mL bottle into my Drie de Fonteinen tumbler.
Clear jonquil body with a fat active papaya whip fist. Vague lacing; average retention.
Arresting aromatics suggest myriad stone fruit and wildflowers. A secondary layer of mild complex barnyard funk and Brett. kissed pepper is in there as well as a mineral-laden white grape note. Low herbaceous hop notes with a hint of summer/tropical/citrus fruit as well.
Peach, honeydew, and orange blossoms immediately give way to feed-store and horse-blanket notes. Mild tartness and bitterness in equal measure. Light characterful malt base - long, subtle, medium-dry finish with white-wine notes punctuated by hops and apricot/melon/etc. Very good.
Medium-bodied, somewhat low carbonation, yet crisp and zesty.
Somewhere between a Wild Ale and a Saison, this is so fruity/floral that it almost seems like it was aged on fruit. Wonderfully balanced, aromatic, and flavorful.
