Bottled. Slightly hazy pale yellow. White head. Floral notes, lemmon pepper zest and a very crisp dry finish. Outstanding choppy saison

Bottle. Goldeny yellow colour with a small white head. Aroma is parfumed soap, some citrus, mild grass, a bit yeasty tones with some slight malts and some yeast too. Flavour is similar to the aroma, but also has some funk to it. Refreshing.

Keyaki. Cloves, boozy, bit fruity. Not very exciting. Worst of the tasting set. Seems I didn't quite get these beers.

pale golden with a white head - Malt and spicy yeasty aromas - Malt body with spicy yeast with some good citrus flavours from hop with some nice bitterness - The citrus from hops and spicy yeasty flavours goes into a finish that goes dry - This was good and refreshing

This has an okay lemon and wheatgrass aroma but a little soft, could be stronger. Has a very pretty and steady bleach white head, nice little bubbles and a light gold body. Flavour is a nice fresh mandarine orange and peaches, soft and not sharp. God oiliness on the mouth but not too heavy. It’s a good beer, but subtle and not too complex.
