Level 42 Bottleshare. Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Airy palate, semi dry and with decent fine carbonation. Light malts, mildly sweet. Tangy orange and gooseberry. Mild floralness. Smooth finish. Quite a concentrated flavour here, not the usual saison wishy washy herb!

Bottle split at L42, thanks to Kenny, 19/10/17. Hazed golden with a decent off white cap. Nose is white peppery spice, orange marmalade, straw, grains. Taste comprises citric tinged straw, light yeast esters, green berry tang, more white peppery spice, grains, lime rinse. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Decent enough saison ... a nice surprise.

Bottle at level 42 thanks to Kenny. It pours hazy golden with a medium white head. The aroma is sweet, juicy, gooseberry, white grape, melon and some almond biscotti. The taste is dry, bitter, gooseberry, melon, white grape, fruity tartness, citrus, icing sugar, earth, bread, pine needles and a touch of spice with a drying finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Fruity and rather interesting stuff. Good fun.
