23 February 2019. (Tasting formerly known as) RBBWG. Cheers to all, thanks Kraddel for the hospitality! Clear pale yellow with a very thin, frothy, white head. Aroma of mandarin peel, leather, white pepper, young cheese, unripe apricot, grapes, white bread. Taste is light fruity sweet, notes of apple & mandarin, and light to medium funky sour with brett, sourdough, some leather & vinegar; light hoppy bitterness in the back offers balance (orange peel & white grapes). Dryish, tart, bit floral hoppy finish, lingering woody tannins, grapes, cheese & yeast. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Interesting hybrid, the Mandarina aspect works well but still very much a Saison.
