Can. Nose is spice, floral, cloves, spice, straw, hint of minerality. Taste is initially pleasingly dry, but sweetens in the finish. Cloves, a little spice, straw, dough, hint of fruit. Sharply carbonated. After reading the other reviews; there is a raisin and an apple character that is pronounced. it's decent but the very fruity middle didn't quite sit right with me.

Taste comprises fruit cake, Belgian yeast esters, mellow spice, almonds, dates, light candied fruits, dusty hops, hint of perfume. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Decent saison.

Can shared in Hackney - cheers to Fergus. Pours mostly clear orange with a small, foamy topping. The nose holds Belgian yeast, toasted wheat, faint caramel. Medium sweet flavour, some toasted sugars, watermelon, more Belgian yeast, a little candi sugar. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Fairly smooth finish, more impressions of caramel, wheat bread. Enjoyable.

Can thanks to Fergus. It pours clear amber with a thick, foamy white head. The aroma is sweet, nougat, fragrant, clove rock, powdery, sugar mice, earthy, spice and cereal. The taste is dry, bitter, chewy, grainy, cereal, nougat, biscotti, pear, apple, clove rock and tannin with a drying finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Fair. A bit too sweet and malty for my liking.
