Very hazy amber beer, little white head. Palate is light and crisp and semi dry. Semi sweet malt, typical Saison - light herby tang. Light banana ester. Whisper of caramel. Light finish. Not bad, refreshing and clean.

Bottle at home from Bristol beer factory online. Bottle was a bit of a gusher. Aroma is delicate orange blossom yeast phenols. Clear light orange with a short lived white head. High carbonation that tickles the tongue. Floral hop. Crisp malt. Subdued yeast character for a said on. Dry finish. Solid.

Bottle from Gardiners & Haskins, Bristol. Golden in colour with a decent, lacy white head. Sweetish aroma of apricot, cut grass and peppery hops. Flavour had some slightly yeasty stone fruits, cereal malts and a touch of honey, before a moderately bitter, vaguely spicy finish, with some warming alcohol. Good.
