While the brewery bakes under a blistering summer sun our thoughts turned to that most classic of summer beers; the Saison. Acrobat is our first interpretation of a traditional Saison; dry, fruity and a little spicy with a high carbonation designed to refresh after long days out in the sun. We added Apricot during fermentation to enhance the aromatic esters from the classic Dupont yeast and a little tarragon in conditioning for a subtle hint of anise. The sun doesn’t shine much in Huddersfield, but when it does, we’re head over heels!

Tap @ Borefts 2014. Golden color, hazy. Hint of apricot in the somewhat floral aroma and flavor. Hint of perfume. Apricot in the finish. Dry and well attenuated. Good.

Nice creamy longlasting head. Aroma is yeast, flowers, hay, leafs, bubblegum, sap, bark, weeds. Taste is slightly harsh, sap, yeast, bark, weeds, flowers, leafs, hay. Medium bitterness, slightly harsh floral mouthfeel. Not my cup of tea.

On tap @ Borefts 2014. Quite a elegant looking one this with a apricot orange cloudy body under a small white lacing head. Smells of apricots also with lots of apply fruits. A delicious aroma. High on the carbonation and almost growing in the mouth. Flavorful also. Fruity, some dried apricot hints. Probably wouldn't notice it if it hadn't need for the aroma and the name. Oranges and a little zesty zing in the somewhat dry finish. Really nice. 27.09.2014

Draught @ All In Beer Fest 2014. Pours hazy pale golden with a frothy white head that leaves lots of trace on the glass while dissipating. Smell is slightly estery and slightly phenolic with crackers, grapefruit, pears, peach skins, hay, dry soil, pepper corns and lemon zest. Taste is bitter, slightly estery and slightly phenolic with crackers, pears, apricots, hay, dry soil, lemony soap, pepper corns and lemon zest. Mouthfeel is dry and light to medium bodied. Finish is bitter with crackers, dry soil, hay, pear skins and lemon zest. Traditional but nothing to write home about…
