Poured from 750mL bottle (thanks Derek & JF; bottled 2021/10/27). Clear bright gold with white head. Soft funky saison yeast with an injection of wildflower honey. Enjoyable, but not my favourite HF.

0.75 l bottle from 'Etre Gourmet', 6.2% abv, bottled in December 2021, two years old. Minimally hazy, golden yellow with a medium large, foamy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, gently fruity-floral, slightly funky aroma of lemon peel, gooseberry, dandelion, hay and hints of barnyard. Slightly sweetish, moderately sour, rather fruity-floral and a little funky taste of lemon, gooseberry, white grapes, hay, dandelion, some barnyard and traces of oak, followed by a medium long, gently tart, rather woody-dry finish. Medium body, gently astringent and rather effervescent mouthfeel, lively carbonation. Refreshing, typically American-style sour saison, still balanced, pleasantly fruity. I like it, but I wouldn't hand in my Saison Dupont for it.

75cl bottle from Hill Farmstead, drunk at our cabin in the woods, Stowe. Misty golden yellow appearance, large white head. Fresh, crisp wild feel that sees the wildflower honey contributes a herbal citrus linger. Good sharp sourness that is impeccably balanced with the flavour profile. Excellent.

Pour at de Garde 10th Anniversary. Pale golden, light cloudiness, patchy head with ample lacing. Aroma is yeasty and funky along with notes of citrus. Taste resembles the aroma along with a nice medium tartness. Smooth, grassy, enjoyable.

750ml bottle. Hazy, yellow-ish golden colour with average, frothy to creamy, half-way lasting, moderately lacing, snow white head. Mildly funky, yeasty and citrusy fruity, hoppy aroma, hints of brine, mustard seed, lemon peel. Taste is tart, tangy, mildly funky, slightly citrusy fruity hoppy, hints of lemon peel, mustard seed, brine. Watery texture, dry palate, medium to fine, prickly carbonation. Clean and focussed, almost clinical, cannot detect the special quality here - disappointing.

Sereh, lemon, grass, it's a tough consideration but it's just a little better than a Nevel beer………………………………
