Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, creating a refined visual presentation befitting a carefully aged mixed-culture Brett saison.

The finish is lean and dry, with lingering acidity and a slightly funky, complex aftertaste that invites contemplation rather than immediate satisfaction.
◑ Finish
