330ml can @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, Nov 19. Thanks Jeremy for bringing this all the way from sunny Wellington. Pours a misty yellow, nice frothy white head. Fruity cloudberry nose, taste is super light, fluffy even with lovely smooth pronounced fruity orange berry nuances. Lovely fresh light saison.

11th Nov 2019; Beer Share Evening in Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury. 330ml can: BB 18th Sep 2020, brought along by me. Slight haze to the body, smooth white foam on top. Perfumed nose, floral like, berries (like Logan berries) in the taste. Not one of those strong 'dirty farmyard' Saison's.

Can@Mathews tasting. Pours hazy golden with small white head. Aroma is vague with notes of malt. Taste is very sweet and light acidic. Body is light oily with fuzzy carbonation. Finish is long and mostly sweet with notes of sweet berries and hints of yeast.

The concept could work, but in this case it doesn't. Flavours just not right. Sourness takes over, no subtle flavours as usually in saisons

Can. Hazy golden color with white head. Aroma is cloudberries, yes, fresh yeast, nice balance. Taste is fresh yeast, cloudberries, nice juiciness, white pepper in the finish. Oily mouthfeel with natural carbonation. Good!

Can courtesy of Dave, cheers Dave! Consumed at home, Attenkirchen, with the Ratebeer Tasting Crew. Saturday 21st September 2019. Aroma is peachy and not what I imagined a cloudberry would be, however there is a little bit of Belgian influence in there on the nose and in the mouth with a watery rather thin mouthfeel. It's got a lot going on but it's not doing it for me.

Can from Alko in Helsinki. Hazy yellow straw, head fading fast, sour aroma. First taste is a bit strong/sour, but then it's a delicious aftertaste of light fruity berry flavors (almost like peach/apricot) - for non-regular-eaters, this must be the legendary cloudberry.

Hazy yellow. Aroma is orange zest some berries some pips some light funk. Taste is sour berry base with some wheat juice. Quite balanced. Why not.
