A classic traditional “Farmhouse Ale” with a very pale colour. A spicy aroma with pepper and citrus. A light and effervescent mouthfeel with a unique spicy yeast character that dominates on the palate with a dry citrus finish.

Bottle at the HHP school at the Pulfer brewery, from Vrutak. Pale golden-yellow body, white head, quite plentiful. Rosemary notes, light white wine, some alcohol, honey and bitterish hoppy notes in the aroma. Light, soft taste, light honey, soft bubblegum, flowery and honeyish touches, light citrus, light oxidized maltiness, vaguely yeasty-meaty too. Hmmm. Got a lot going on, a bit messy, but not bad for an Irish-made saison I guess.

Bottle from Colin. Pale yellow, airy, frothy head fades. Grassy yeasty aroma, savory. Taste is more of the litght malts and saison yeast, and a nice coriander, peppery snap.

Bottle from Tesco, Carrick-on-Shannon [050617]
Light golden, clear, frothy white head
Aroma of srtong peppery hops, soft zest underneath, some sweet pale malt
Taste as aroma, very peppery hops, spicy, bitter zest underneath, light sweet pale malt, fresh
Palate - Medium carb and body, bitter and spicy. Finish as main flavour
Overall - Good saison, but gets a bit over peppery spicy towards the end of the pint. Decent enough.
