On 22nd July 2016 we produced a turbid wort in the style of traditional Lambic producers. This was fermented using lees (previously used to ferment Foxbic) from cider producer Tom Oliver, and aged in two old oak barrels for fourteen months. One barrel was dry hopped and became Saison Lees. The other barrel was left unaltered and allowed to age further in bottle before release. The result is a paler, drier and more refined beer than its counterpart.

Bottle. Hazy yellow golden. Lots of bourbon, sweet grains, lemon zest, soft oak, sour gooseberries, light yeast and spices, I don't get much cider but there's some typical barnyard funk. Under medium sweet and less sour. Medium bodied. Lovely!

Yellow, medium hazy body, with a fluffy, white head. Aroma of lemon, straw, funk. stone fruits. Tastes similar. A bit creamy mouthfeel. Finishes smooth, citric, moderate funky, with some stone fruits. Perfectly balanced, crisp and fresh, with lovely fruits and rustic funk. Beautiful Saison how I love it! Score: 8 / 4 / 8 / 4 / 17

Bottled at the RBESG 23 grand tasting, huge thanks to whoever brought it! Murky yellow body, thick white head. Spicy aroma, herbal, apple notes, soft overall. Soft sour taste, applea, peaches, light phenolics - very low, light acidic touch, but fresh-seeming and fun!
