On tap at Fair Isle, pours a hazy blonde with a large white head. Nose has a complex wild yeast expression, with gentle oak, and a bright, semi-floral hop expression. Flavour is maybe less elegant, with a duller hop expression than the nose indicates, with a cohesive mix of bugs and a dry bready finish. Not their most complex or elegant saison, but it’s well-brewed as usual.

375mL undated bottle drunk 3/6/26.
Big and bold, funky Brett and manure with heavy mineral joined with the hops which do fun stuff when added to this mixed culture saison. Rustic grains, and delightful acidity, but not too much. Fruity and fun Brett lingers long.
Brett and saison share space nicely. I appreciate that about Fair Isle: it's not just blasting you with oak, hop and Brett, but is also assertively a Sacch-based saison. Rich, malty texture with other fun grain complexities, and great attenuation. No big acidity, a wonderful Sacch and Brett balance, and some fun hops. This is fabulous!
