*Bottle in Ireland from Tesco in Letterkenny. The beer starts grainy and sessionable. Easy to drink, nice malty with a few funky parts. Not bad.

Bottle from Tesco, Brighouse. Pale golden-amber with next to no head. Has a sweetened character with an underlying fruitiness. Slightly active in the palate with a small fizz, it’s also has a crispness.

bottle from Tesco Newton Abbot. Hazy pale yellow with a tall and fluffy white head. Aroma of apples and citrus fruit. Light-bodied, shy wheaty malty flavours with apples and citrus fruit. Spices in the background. Surprisingly good!

Bottle from Tesco, drunk at home. Light to medium gold with a fine white head. Honey, yeast, coriander, chilli and hints of leather in the nose. Bittersweet and spicy taste, with a dry and slightly acrid aftertaste. Very warming for its strength. This feels more English than Belgian but it’s still drinkable, just not overexciting. The spicy note is nice though.

Bottle from Tesco, Longford [211114]
Golden amber, clear, thin frothy white head
Aroma of soft lemon, bit spicy, light malts
Taste of soft lemon, some bitter spicy hops, dab of spicy yeast, pale malt background
Palate - soft carb, medium body, bit oily. Finish is more bitter, bit zesty hops, slightly harsh afters
Overall - A golden ale with some soft spicy yeast notes. Not really a Saison. Average - not bad for a supermarket beer

50cl bottle from Tescos, Camberley. An attractive pale gold pour with a billowing white head; floral aroma with a trace of yeast; soft, dry and fruity in the mouth; with a gently herbal finish giving a touch of peppery heat. Very well made - the best Banks’s beer I’ve tried in a long while.
