From a 375ml can on 21/12/2019. Pours a clear light golden with a big fluffy white head. Has a light aroma of cinnamon and spice. The flavour is a rinse and repeat of the nose, finishing with a very gentle bitterness. Light bodied and a bit thin, with average carbonation. It's actually not particularly saison like in character. Not offensive, and perhaps brings with it some Christmas novelty, but provides no inspiration to revisit.

Cloud yellow with a white head. Aroma of bittersweet oranges, spices (mainly cloves, some white pepper), dough. A little cheesy funk. Light bodied, spritz carbonation. Light dough, almost sour lemon, spices. Sometimes I wonder whether I just rate finishes. This is very dry and quite bitter and just makes the whole thing sing. Good.
