75cl bottle all to myself because Iโ€™m worth it. Pours a deep hazed amber, frothy off-white head. Aroma bears a light spice and a light sweetness. Taste is spice-forward, initially reminiscent of Fantome although this does subside somehwat. As I read through the tasting notes above, yes orange marmalade appears, with plenty of citrus and spice and a little coconut on the finish (sorachi?). Needs a little more fizz, and flavour tails off a little mid-way through, but itโ€™s an enjoyable saison.

Bottle courtesy of Geraint & Helen (thanks you two!) consumed at home Friday 10th June 2016 in the company of Nick, Nellie, Julie, Lynn & Barry (shared mainly with Barry) . Dark gold in colour with a white head. Really fruity but there is a real depth of flavour here (ageing I guess) not sure how this has been aged, wood maybe? Tangy with a good citrussy edge, orange and lime I get, but not the coconut? Some warmth from the alcohol, but not intrusive or to the detriment of this beer. Really enjoyed this.
