Pure in deed, restrained in nature but fierce in action, our divine Saison D'Heretique is named for Joan of Arc, falsely burned as a heretic but later canonised. This is a saintly saison, lovingly crafted with both French and Belgian yeasts generating a delicate and light beer that packs a hefty punch of white pepper, clove and citrus on the palate with liquorice, clove, citrus and pepper on the aroma. A wonderful amalgam of flavours with an inspiring delicate intensity.

375ml can. Pours a cloudy pale yellow with a huge, fluffy, long lasting, white head that leaves plenty of lace. Sweet aroma of lemon, orange, biscuit malt, cloves, yeast and light floral. Sweet flavour of lemon, grapefruit, biscuit malt and pepper in a dry, tart, bitter grass finish. Light to medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Not bad.

On tap at the Australian Brewery, pours a hazy yellow with a medium white head. Aroma brings out farmhouse yeast and light biscuity malt. Flavour is rather dull, with earthy biscuity notes and farmhouse yeast. Not especially effervescent or dynamic, but clean enough. Decent.

This beer has a nice saison aroma, but unfortunately the taste is just too hoppy to do justice to the style. Aromas of clove, pepper, salt and orange peel give way to loads of tart lemon hops on tasting, along with some spice notes. Although it’s not a real saison, IMO, it is a nice refreshing beer for a Summer afternoon.

Can, 10C. Just hazy gold with a very large white head that’s just a bit over the top but lasts and laces well. Aroma of oranges, lemon, cloves, pepper, hay. Medium bodied, highish carbonation. Nice balance of sweet, tangy and bitter - hay, a little tangy dough, nectarines, citrus, spices. Dry and moderately bitter at the end. Good stuff and a flight of steps up for these folks.

From a 355ml can on 8/3/2015 (shared by Butz with thanks). Pours a cloudy straw with a huge fluffy white head. Has a pretty decent spicy, yeasty aroma. The taste follows suit with tart citrus fruits, and lots of spice, with a moderate quite dry, slightly vinous bitterness. Has a fullish body, with the palate a touch creamy, and lively carbonation. A nice, refreshing saison.
