Saison From Another Place Dark

Bottle from favourite beer, Cheltenham. Slight hazy on this gold coloured beer, with a white head. Light fruity, citrus, hop aroma with floral hints. Light sweet to mid bitter finish.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines; hazy golden yellow pour with a huge bubbly white, aroma has yeast and lemon, taste has yeast, banana, very witty, hints of citrus, some soap.

Bottle on the IOW Jolly Day outward train tasting, thanks to Paulo, 24/08/14. Murky amber with a good sized off white covering. Nose is big medicinals, TCP, spice, herbal tang, sprucey wood, spearmint gum. Taste comprises dental mouth wash, oaky notes, faint citrics, TCP, Dentene gum. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Hmmmm ... interesting enough offering, didn’t really get much of what the description says mind and can’t say I’m desperate to rush back but OK (ish)!

Bottle (5.7%) shared on the train during the IoW Jolly. It pours murky brown-amber with a thick, dirty white head. The nose is spearmint polos, mouth-wash, Vic’s vaporub, resin and chamomile lotion. The taste is bitter, toasty, spice, mint, floral, mouth-wash and pine with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Very odd mint mouth-wash about it. Not undrinkable for me, just rather weird.
