Brewed with the same base recipe as all our ‘seasonal saisons’ follow, L’Hiver has been infused with hawthorn leaves and berries to give a most wintery feel to the beer – an almost barren taste (in a good way!) Our use of Brettanomyces and Lactobacillus yeasts ensure this beer continues to develop in flavour.

Smell is tiny fruity with crackers, lemon juice, hay, dry soil, white pepper corns, lemon zest and hints of yuzu juice. Taste is tiny sour, tiny bitter, tiny fruity and slightly phenolic with crackers, lemon juice, star fruit, dry soil, hay, lemon zest, orange zest, white pepper corns, bay leaves and lemon grass. Mouthfeel is crisp, dry, slightly tart and light bodied. Finish is tiny sour, tiny bitter, tiny fruity and tiny phenolic with crackers, hay, dry soil, white pepper corns, lemon juice and bay leaves. Refreshing!

On tap at the Barley Mow, Bristol, February 2014. Slightly hazy gold with a decent, white head. Grainy malts, a touch of yeast, floral hops, slightly peppery edge and decently bitter finish. Very good.

On keg. Appearance - pale blonde in colour. Some haze and an attractive lacy head. Nose - white pepper and apples. Taste - more white pepper this time getting into pineapple. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy yet tangy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - a well executed saison.
