Bottle. Effervescent light brownish-amber. Aroma is heavily yeasty, and this is before pouring the sediment. On the palate it is still yeasty though less so, with some herbal hop and a touch of buggy complexity coming through.

Bottle discounted at Tanakaya. Cherry wood brown with a finger of beige foam. Aromas of oak, light horse blanket, earth and caramel. A brown saison with brett I am assuming. Soft carbonation (probably due to being an older bottle, although the bottle says good until November 2016). As it warms more funk comes out, cobwebs and wet hay. Not bad, but more of a wild ale rather than a saison in my opinion. Not bad, but not up to par with their other releases.

Bottle thanks to Leighton at Jack’s farewell tasting. It pours hazy golden orange with a small white head. The nose is earthy, peach, apricot, yoghurt, light sourness and some sherbet. The taste is sherbet, earth, hay, orange, peach, apricot, straw and sweet dough. Medium body, moderate carbonation and foamy mouth-feel. Smooth, well balanced and rather drinkable stuff.
