33cl bottle: BBE April 2023. Drank on 8th August 2022 while house and dog sitting Devon. It's not really a Saison, but I liked it. Slight misty look to the amber body, fast fading off-white head. Malty molasses front the nose and taste, I bet there is Caramalt or a very similar malt used in the brew. Not a lot of farmyard stuff going on for me, no funky horse blanket or herbal twists, just a fairly malty low alcohol beer.

Bottle from the dry drinker. Pours clear amber to copper with a thin off-white head. Aromas of faint spice if you look hard enough. Mostly caramel and orange for me though. Taste is leaning in to the toffee. Watery finish.

330ml bottle from Dry Drinker. Misty dark orange appearance, small white head. Interesting dried apricot notes to this, some off putting vomit notes on the finish but can just about block that out.

29/6/2021. Bottle from WiseBartender.co.uk. Pours slightly hazy dark orange with a small frothy off-white head. Aroma of peach, citrus, malt, light banana, sherbet, touch of sulphur. Medium sweetness and light to moderate bitterness. Moderate body, oily watery texture, bit above average carbonation. Quite okay.

bottle nicely presented in a wrapped paper label. looks craft and interesting. golden tilting towards orange-reddish, offwhite to orange head. spicy yeasty grassy, lemongrassy, herbal aroma. flavor is saison like but a bit on the sweet malty side, imho not quite hitting the style perfectly. so you end up with a malty non alc with a lot of spicy notes in it. drinkable but a bit too sweet for my taste.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours an almost clear amber with a creay and lacing, white head. Very odd aroma, a mix of coffee grinds, dust and winegums. Vague body, initially sweet but overtaken by a strange tartness and the same mix as in the aroma. Utterly disgusting to be honest. 080421

Bottle, online from Dry Drinker. Pours light hazed golden amber with an off-white head, small. Aroma: wort, light citrus, grassy hints. Taste: moderate sweet & light bitter, dry, yeasty, citrus fruits, hoppy hints. Thin to medium body with moderate carbonation. Decent enough for an NA beer. Would drink again.

Bottle looks good. Beer in the glass zippy, small head. Starts mild, malty, more and more moldy-soapy. Grasy-moldy background, sweetish, bready notes. Unbalanced... Bah, hard to finish this one...
