Bridge Road Brewers have crafted their own Saison to add to their Chevalier range. This beer is quite unique, light straw in colour, with a tight bright white head. Aromas are dominated by esters and phenolic characters, owing to the Saison yeast strain, which also gives the beer its characteristic tart, dry and acidic profile.
This citrus character combined with grassy hop flavours make this a great food beer, try it with anything from seafood to blue cheese.

On tap at Beer Temple. Slightly hazy golden orange colour, white head. Aroma is quite sweet, ripe fruits, light tart/tangy, yeasty. Flavour is sweet, fruity, yeasty, tangy, light bitter finish. Light bodied. Too sweet for a saison imo, more of a Belgian blond ale.

Bottle 75 cl. Pours a hazy pale yellow with a dense and lacing white head. Spicy, metallic and yeasty nose. Medium body, rich carbonation, sweet fruit, yeast and heavy phenols, vitamins. Ends dry but not overly bitter. A Saison very much to the yeasty side. 100912

ChrisO ’Night Of The Gaylords’ tasting. Hazy pale gold beer. No head. Sharp and sourish with bitter orange. Finishes light and crisp with hop bitterness. Pleasantly sour!

On tap at the Sail & Anchor, Fremantle 7/04/2012. Golden with a slight white head. Slightly peppery hops, some citrus fruit and a dryish finish. All a bit underpowered.

From the tap at the Local Taphouse, St Kilda on 27/1/2011 (part of a five beer tasting paddle). The aroma is of Belgian yeast, apples and apple pie. The flavour is dominated by green apples and lemon. This one has a nice subtle and refreshing sour/bitterness. Quite nice.

Cloudy blond with a thick head. Peppery aroma with light fruits and nice yeastiness. Very fruity on the palate with gentle spiciness, slightly creamy malts and maybe a hint of acidity late. Nice pale malt character and good balance. One of the more interesting Aussie microbrews I’ve come across.

Bottle. Cloudy pale gold with decent tight white head. The aroma is tangy citrus with peppery and metallic notes. Medium body and nice carbonation bordering on fizzy. Tangy citrus foretatse with a peppery and to my mind rather harsh metallic bitterness in the finish. An unusual beer which was just a bit harsh for my taste.
