(Draught at Mother Kelly's Bethnal Green, London, 22 Nov 2024) Hazy golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruity nose with notes of mixed fruits, yeast, oak wood and barnyard. Fruity taste with citrus, peaches, yeast, barnyard, white bread, oak wood and a mild spicy/citric bitterness. Medium body, with a slight sweetness. Tasty and well made saison, with a mild funky touch. Very nice.

Now just called Anniversaire, 6.5%. Pale yellow colour with light haze and thin head. Aroma and floral are super floral and have a pleasant woody vanilla note. Nice juicy tang too.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from BS online. Pours mostly clear yellow-gold with a foamy, white head. Light sweet flavour with ample notes of white pepper, lemon peel, subtle funk, pale wood. Light bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Finishes with further peppery notes, slight woody dryness, vague funk and grass. Nice overall.

On tap at Small Bar, pours a clear/hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of complex wild yeast, rustic notes, and a touch of tart citrus. Flavour reveals a real nice expression of wild bugs, just enough lacto, and lightly tart citrus. Good use of the yeast as usual, creating a balanced, relatively complex buggy saison. Very nice.

Bottle. Online. Also on tap at Shakespeares a while back. Hazed lemon gold with a dense slim white foam. Looks great. Big on the Chardonnay this. Itโs got a creamy oaky thing. Soft rye like spice. Lightly yeasty. Light brett. Taste has moderate sweetness up front, getting a tad tea and slightly dry. Fairly clean. Soft rolling carbonation. Light bitter finish. Very decent overall but thereโs a little too much sweetness throughout here.

Keg draught at the Kean's Head. Very light gold. Almost straw. A bit clear with some uneven white head. Funky yeast aroma with gooseberry and hay. Taste is surprisingly sweet with lots of candy sugar and more gooseberry. Spicy in the finish. Slight body with low carbonation. Not overly keen but it's decent enough.
