Bottle. Clear gold with a large white head - topping up the glass after a while makes it a little cloudy. Aroma of citrus (lime leaf, mandarin, grapefruit), funky cracker dough, spices. A bit wit-like - particularly the fact that some of the citrus is clearly fruit - but nice funk too. The topped up glass has a softer texture but the citrus and spices are still perhaps not as well integrated as they might be. Dry with modest bitterness at the end with the spices settling most convincingly there. A little disjointed but a nice finish.

On tap at Good Beer Week 2019 Launch Gala. Pours golden with healthy head. A lot of citrus in nose alongside straw and socks. Pretty classic saison. Nice and dry and citrussy.

From a 500ml bottle on 10/3/2019 (shared by Butz with thanks). Pours a slightly opaque golden with almost no head. Smells funky, bready and spicy. In the mouth, you get lots of bready malt, yeast, some lime, lemon and orange, and a good whack of clove and spice, Lightish body with soft carbonation. I'm not really a fan of saisons, so keep this in mind when it comes to the rating. But this does nothing for me.
