Armsby draught, 11/19/25. As pictured.
Funky and aromatic with a gin/lime character and rich barley behind it. Not too acidic, but also not really getting any traditional saison character (but also not getting any crude phenols/esters).
Rich and fruity with a very different character than the nose. There is plenty of actual saison yeast, and the real, cooler fermented stuff showing no clove and banana. Good acidity on the edges of the palate, but light. Deep texture with honey and rustic bread to easily balance. Super flavorful and interesting while also being very approachable, which is important for a style which has fallen out of favor. Sort of in the realm of what Oxbow is doing but softer, gentler, maltier.
