Bomber from Bridgend Services. It pours clear gold with a small white head. The aroma is fresh, fragrant, floral, plenty of rose character, bit spice, parma violets and cereal. The taste is crisp, dry, fragrant, very floral, rose, honeyed cereal, peppery spice, straw and wet grass with a drying finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. A rather floral saison. Decent.

Re-rate from bottle thanks to Gary. Major gusher so expecting to get an infection on nose and palate. However, these were fresh and flavoursome. New rating 3.4 so averaged at 3.3. Previous rating 16/07/17 6+4+6+4+12=3.2 On cask @ SRAF. Golden amber and hazy. Loads of plant stalks and resin notes on the nose. Also burnt toffee. More of the same on the taste. Not sure these were the best serving conditions. Will try again another time.
