A classic saison made with the classic Dupont yeast strain and fermented at very high temperatures - left to condition at 14-18 degrees in ex-wine barrels with brettanomyces bruxellensis added - left to bulk age in the barrel for a few months before being bottled

Keg at CBC Islington - London. Pours clear, deep gold with a thick, lasting white cream head. The nose holds bready wheat, a bit of tangerine. Light-medium sweet flavor with minimal bitterness, more bready wheat, some dough, light candi sugar. Medium bodied with average to lively carbonation. Nicely balanced to finish, further bread, wheat, toasted sugars. Pretty nicely balanced overall.

Very hazy orange beer, good pale cream coloured head. Palate is airy and crisp from the fine minerally carbonation. Light floral yeast, touch of soap. Light sweet malt, Tangy orange and a little fresh orange. Whisper of tangerine. Sweet yeasty linger.

Keg, Baltic Social, Liverpool. Hazy dull gold looks with a small white head. Brett, paint, cut grass and yeast in the beak. A further decent dose of funky brettiness in the flavour in tandem with notes of citrus, spice and yeast with some gently emerging bitterness towards the finish.Tasty saison.
