Bottle at Pivoteka. Hazy golden, whote head. Vegetables in the aroma. Taste... Well carbonated... And earthy vegetables, vague maybe citrus. But mainly strange vegetables. Quite unique but... Noot that great.

On tap at Beerbohm, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out botanical notes, with spicy saison notes, and a floral character. Flavour is nastily floral, with botanical notes, lots of sweet esters, and bubblegum. Not a good saison and the botanical notes don't improve things.

Keg at MK VHX, 18/05/18. Pale golden blonde with a decent off white cap. Nose is lemon tinged straw, botanical esters, light spice, juniper berry, light funk. Taste comprises citric peel, gin twang, damp hay, yeast esters, light spice, lemon drizzle. Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a light boost. Ok stuff but lacks depth and doesn't get out of third gear for me.

On tap at Lajbah, Ljubljana. Pours almost clear, amber golden, topped with a thin offwhite head, not really lasting. Very gentle nose with just a slight herbal presence. Strong herbal taste, very sparkly body. Bittery, herbal and very gin like. Not a fan of this one, but for someone who likes gin very much... that's the way to go.

Tap at Craft Bier Fest Wien. Mostly plain saisony, also light oxidation going on IMO. Loads of spiciness, but rather the basic saisony kind. Only light gin-ness. Quite good, but not exactly to my taste.

On tap at The Pint Shop, Oxford, Saturday 21st April 2018 in town with Merton, Charlton, Ickford Crowd but nipped in here on our own. Pours gold with a slim white head. The gin touches are clearly apparent but they only really serve to turn this into a weird beer and some strange hybrid, fruity, tangy with some strange flavours almost a medicinal at times. Not my thing and having paid £12 for a half of this and a half of Beast from the East, (prices are shocking in here) 'Ever feel like you've been cheated'? A6 A4 T5 P2 Ov11 2.8
