Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Gluten Free. Golden amber colour, white foam rim and aroma of grains, cranberry, grass, hay. Taste is malty, grainy, with fruity yeasty notes, and a sweetish sourish cranberry note. Medium bodied, light carbonation, dry nutty finish. Quite OK.

Panda at home things to Shig, 29/09/20. Lightly hazed orange golden with a decent just off white cap. Nose is grass, berry pips, hay bale, grains, light yeast flicker. Taste comprises earthy notes, dirty berries, lemon rind, red berry must, light herb. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close. Passable saison if a touch on the unrefined side.

26/9/2020. Bottle shared with SHIG, bought at 3at3, Ely. Massive gusher. Eventually pours and settles hazy pale gold with a large frothy white head. Aroma is sweet, toffee, light herbs, yeast, not getting much in the way of cranberry. Tasted sugary sweet, with light bitterness. Moderate sweetness, a bit watery, average carbonation after all the gushing. Sweet and fruity to finish. Expery-Mental and needing more development.

Bottle shared by Grumbo: This one was a gusher and head poured out for long time. Poured a jello yellow with floaters and head was huge off white. Aroma is aloe, soapy, funky, light fruit. Taste is more aloe, bitter, light fruit not defined, some underlying sweetness.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. I think as @blackHaddock said this beer is “a shitty sour (but Cranberry sweet) sort of way!” And I quite liked it.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Appearance - very lively on opening. Cloudy and light brown. Proportionate head. Nose - cranberry and light yoghurt note. Sourdough and biscuit. Taste - more red fruit and sourdough. Palate - tangy and lightly bitter at the same time. Overall - challenging. Not sure it was meant to be quite this wild.

Bottle shared with Ashton McCobb. Gusher. Pours murky golden with a thin white head. Aromas of light sour dough, something fruity, bit of yoghurt funk and vinegar. Taste is sweet, strangely sweet given the nose. Thin finish.

Wildcraft Cranberry Saison, Bottle picked up from Roys of Wroxham, Norfolk, consumed down Lynn and Barry's, Thursday 21st February 2019, we were invited for tea. Pours light amber it's hazy in fact it's very cloudy. Sweet, malty, I am not getting any cranberry, it's really exhibiting little in the way of flavour so difficult to be to harsh on it but by the same token I cannot shower it with praise. Unlike any Saison I've ever had, it's a drab, sweet, flavourless disappointment.
