Solera series of mixed culture golden sours fermented in a large oak foeder. A portion of finished beer is drawn into a secondary vessel and replaced with unfermented wort, activating fermentation from existing microbes to produce a nearly identical copy of the original beer. In this version, beer was drawn into a fruiting vessel to age on lychee and Madagascar vanilla beans before bottle conditioning with champagne yeast.

This one pours a slightly hazy creamy yellow color, with a massively overcarbonated head, and a lot of lacing.
This smells fairly acidic, with lychee, lime, and lemon all over the place, and a touch of vanilla.
The high level of carbonation gives this a definitely prickly taste, but the soft fruitiness tamps that down a tad. Lychee is a delicious fruit, almost like you bang together a lemon, a lime, and a pear, and it's expressed well here. The subtle vanilla on the back end is a nice touch.
This is light bodied, crisp, and prickly, with a decent level of drinkability.
As it stands, this is pretty good, but if the carbonation was toned down a smidge, this would be excellent.

Pours a pale creamy yellow, fizzy, bubbly, smells tart and citrusy and vanilla and cream and pie and so enticing. Tastes wonderfully vibrant, acidic, cider, pear, lime, creamy vanilla, graham cracker, so effervescent. This is incredibly drinkable, so good, the best Throughline by a wide margin.
