Bottle at Dean’s Pale Lager tasting, Den Haag. Poured a hazy medium amber with a thin white head. The aroma is fruity citrus malty weak barnyard. The flavour is weak bitter. Medium bodied with lots of carbonation. Spicy pepper on the tongue lots of yeast. Very nice indeed.

Bottle shared thanks to Denk. Pours clear golden with an off white head. Aroma of peppery saison yeast, light funkiness. Flavour is light sweet and moderate bitter. Medium bodied with light carbonation.

Bottles from Cornelius and The Beerhive. Hazy orange body with a medium white head that holds well. Lively carbonation. Excellent lacing. Aroma of lemon, blood orange and white pepper. Flavour of orange, salted caramel, lemon and light spices. Medium body with a frothy mouthfeel. Nice carbonation fizz. A lovely Saison, but I’d prefer if the alcohol content was a bit higher, as it could develop more complexities of flavour.

50cl bottle from Appellation Wines. Appearance - cloudy golden orange with nice carbonation and a very generous head. Nose - lemon sorbet, white pepper. Taste - tart lemon, some spice, dry yeasty finish. Palate - medium bodied and creamy texture with a dry finish. Overall - a good example of a Saison though not one of Tempest’s best.

Keg @ Hanging Bat [240813]
Hazy yellow, dense white head, some lacing
Aroma - Soft sweet fruits, apricot, light yeast, slight peach, sweet pale malt
Taste - Citrus fruits, dab of banana, soft yeast, some spicy hops, touch aromatic
Palate - Medium carb and body, little fizzy, touch harsh. Finish - dry, bitter linger, touch of fresh sweet banana, little bit harsh bitter
Overall - I think this would be better on cask, bit too fizzy.

Re-rate from 500ml bottle, Appellation Wines. Better from the bottle, got some pepper-spice to it. Still finishes a bit sweet. Keg at the Hanging Bat. Good hazy amber, good whitehead. Lacks the spice and yeast notes I’d want from a saison, also doesn’t finish quite dry enough. Soapy. Strange. 2.9
