UPDATED: SEP 21, 2020 Character of yeast, oak, white wine, and Brett, and fruits such as apricot, grapefruit, and tangerine. Nice aroma, great flavor, good mouthfeel.

UPDATED: AUG 20, 2020 375ml bottle. Grassy bitterness. Moderate amount of Brett. Very Orval like.

UPDATED: JUN 7, 2020 Cork-top bottle, 0.75l. Aroma of citrus, must, grape skin, brett and herbs. Pours clear golden color with medium sized soapy white head and average sparkling appearance. Taste starts light sweet and sour bready and ripe fruity, following is funky, vinous, resinous and peppery, mouthfeel is dry and spicy, while finish is moderate bitter. Medium body, oily texture and average carbonation in palate. Heavenly arctic bitterness...

UPDATED: MAR 19, 2020 Bottle - 750ml. Beautiful golden cloudy body with a thin, lasting, white foamy head. Fresh malty/hoppy aroma with white wine, oaky, citrusy, and yeasty hints. Alcohol is discreet. Its sharp malty/hoppy taste is very similar to the aroma and ends with a long bitter/sour, moderately warming finish. Excellent.

UPDATED: MAR 12, 2020 Ordered online from SAQ, the last of the selection offered, a bit disappointing, considering the complexity behind this craft, not bad, but not for my taste.

UPDATED: MAR 1, 2020 From the corked, caged 650 ml bottle with noticeable date. Slightly foggy looking golden color with a quick lasting white head that diminishes entirely. The aroma brings out toasted malts, white grape, and Brettnomyces. No booze for a barrel-aged 9 percenter. Light, crisp mouthfeel. The flavor is tart but clean and crisp. Ends medium dry.

UPDATED: JAN 28, 2020 Brown bottle, 750 ml, purchased from the SAQ - Aylmer on November 1, 2019, savoured on January 28, 2020; eye: golden with a caramel hue, slightly veiled, no effervescence, small beige foam ring, no lacing; nose: wild yeasts, fruity, musk, white wine, lemon; mouth: wild yeasts, fruity, musk, white wine, lemon, semi-dry finale in bittering hops with presence of wild yeasts, full body, rather carbonated, mildly bitter, lightly sweet, slightly grated texture; overall: nice surprise

Bouteille brune, 750 ml, achetée à la SAQ - Aylmer le 1 novembre 2019, savourée le 28 janvier 2020; œil : dorée avec une teinte caramel, légèrement voilée, pas d’effervescence, petit anneau de mousse beige, pas de dentelle; nez : levures sauvages, fruité, musc, vin blanc, citron; bouche : levures sauvages, fruité, musc, vin blanc, citron, finale semi-sèche en houblon amérisant avec présence de levures sauvages, corsée, plutôt carbonatée, moyennement amère, légèrement sucrée, texture très légèrement râpeuse; en résumé : belle surprise

UPDATED: DEC 12, 2019 Blonde dorée et voilée recouverte d'une mousse typique. Des arômes très forts de brefs et de houblons. Ensuite des pelures d'oranges. C'est rustique à fond. On perçoit des effluves de cuir et de vin blanc. Amères et âcres les saveurs au début. Après c'est fruité et les levures sauvages agissent en contre coup. C'est très sec, à la limite de l'astringence. Fort appréciable. *(Batch #5 Nov. '16) (2962-261119)

UPDATED: DEC 10, 2019 750ml bottle. Slightly hazy light amber with a foamy white head. Flavors are sweet cereals, apricot, cherry, pineapple, funk, oak and alcohol with floral, herbal and spicy notes. Medium to full body, moderate carbonation, smooth texture.
