A spiced up version of a classic Saison style beer. Ginger, combined with coriander and bitter orange peel, creates a complex brew, that is not for the faint-hearted! This brew, like all intense experiences is meant to be shared and will only get better with time!

750ml bottle courtesy of Kostas brewer at Kykao Brewery, Patras, Greece consumed at home in the company of Xenofon and Anastasia, Wednesday 23rd December 2020 listening to Craig Charles standing in for Steve Lamaq on 6 Music, we have Mexican Meatballs for tea tonight. Pours dark gold edging towards orange/light amber, head white in colour. Not getting too much pomegranate on the nose, however it is clean, berries, fresh and spritzy. Taste following on from the nose displays similar characteristics, nice tangy bittersweet fruity bite, refreshing, touch thin but to be expected re: abv, good beer.

27 September 2019. Tap at RIDE Cafe, Chania, Crete. Shared with the lovely Anke! Pours hazy orange with a quicky thinning, frothy, white head. Aroma of young yellow apple, pineapple, lemon, pomegrenate, starfruit, wheat. Taste is light to medium fruity sour, starfruit & gooseberry pairing with sweetish apple & pear, a bit lemony, wheaty & bready accents; very faintly bitter in the tart, wheaty finish, lingering unripe fruit, bread & very faint hops. Medium body, oily texture, fizzy carbonation. Balanced summer BW indeed.

hazy yellow, small white head. mild hoppy aroma with pine and grapefruit, also some herbal freshness. Mild salty flavor with a mild, quite dry malty background. high carbonation but otherwise mouthfeel is a bit thin. Very quenching, notes of lemongrass, great summer drink.
