75cl bottle from Tom Oliver. Pours misty golden yellow, small white head, constant flow of bubbles from the base. Bit of a gusher this unfortunately. Lost about a third. Aroma is light, pillowy smooth doughy yeast. Taste is light, extremely dry, thin scuzzy carbonation, gentle mirage-like perry fruit that disappears, subtle saison yeast with a mild detectable cidery wild funk twang that suggests something other than a simple saison. Interesting experiment, but it's lacking flavour and needs a little tweaking, more pear juice, or additional juice after fermentation, more Simcoe dry-hopping perhaps. Will be interesting to see this idea develop.
