Based on the untappd images and the picture I took, I'd say this bottle, consumed in October 2018, is batch 4. Unlike the previous 3 batches, this one does not say the hop varieties used on the front of the label. Thanks to leftpaw for bringin' this out.

Pours a light honey and amber color, 1/3" white head. The aroma was sourness. Hits a hefty degree of citrus in the nose. Didn't think it was brett forward in the aroma, but that changed in the other departments.

Taste kept the sour citrus push, but the brett is supplementing the mouth feel now, its a bit like a very dry 7up yogurt in terms of flavor and mouth feel (sans soda's carbonation levels, although this wasn't that far off). Brett accentuates the gritty graininess giving some imperialized grissette(?) feels. It definitely checks a lot of the boxes of those sour wild saison kind of hybrids that are everywhere. All in all, I liked it. Did nothing bad nor world class, just a fun enjoyable crush. Good 1st beer to have from this brewery.
