’Tis the Saison is our first ever Saison. A collaboration with Shortcross Gin, we used some of their botanicals, including elderflower, elderberry and Orange Zest. Out of style, this Saison was carbonated gently to highlight the soft and delicate flavours from the botanicals used. Enjoy!

Bottle split at CCii, thanks Steve, 05/03/16. Hazed amber with a moderately appointed off white covering. Nose is Turkish Delight, big floral wafts, orange zip, light yeast. Taste comprises rose hip, herbal tones, citric peel, yeast esters, straw, more Turkish Delight - they yellowy one. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Ok but overly floral - couldn’t drink too much of this one!

Bottle thanks to Steve at the 2016 Cotteridge Convention. It pours cloudy deep red-brown with a small, bubbly white head. The aroma is tangy fruits, vanilla, cola cubes, blood orange, red cola, rather floral, damnso0n, rose and Turkish Delight. The taste is big on the floral front, rosehip, damson, tangy plum, earth, Turkish Delight, rose, cranberry and a touch of citrus. Medium body and fine carbonation. Interesting, complex and rather tasty. Good stuff.

Bottle shared at the Cotteridge Convention - 2016 edition. Many thanks to Steve for this one. Pours hazy amber-red with a creamy topping. The nose holds aggressive perfume, flowers, Turkish delight. Light sweet flavour with heavy, overbearing perfume, botanicals, light leafy hops. Light to medium in body with average carbonation. More hearty botanical character on the finish, perfume. This was a bit of a slog. Far too heavy on the ’botanical’ character.
