Clear as the sunny blue sky, a Saison fermented with Torulaspora and Kluyveromyces non-saccharomyces strains! Aged on lyees and batonnaged to get some extra complexity from those almost wild yeasts cells!
Brewed with extra wild thyme (Thymus capitatus) that grows literally beside the brewery in the summer!

Bottle. Cloudy pale yellow with a huge white head. Not wanting to mess up the kitchen it took me about five minutes to carefully transfer the beer from the bottle to my glass. Aroma of thyme, yeast and zest. Taste of thyme, lemons, yeast, grains, zest and grass. Spicy and funky with a dry finish. Moderate bitterness. Medium carbonation. Very refreshing. If this was really the 2019 edition it held up extremely well. Marvelous.

Bottle from a state alcohol store in Patras, drunk in our hotel room while a small girl is falling asleep. high carb, golden clear on the first pour, mild nose with wild herbs smelling of a Mediterranean countryside hike. The flavor is super farmhouse, dry with good acidity but still a medium-full mouthfeel. Super champagne-like carbonation. The spices remind me of the olive oil bread with herbs that you can find in Greece, it's fantastic. Ages well as this is the 2019 edition, still in prime shape.

Bottle picked up from Kostas and the Kykao Brewery, Patras, Greece and consumed at home Sunday 4th October 2020 listening to Aldous Harding - Designer, cooking fried potatoes and frying chicken. Light gold with a big billowing white head, the thyme shows on the nose, lovely saison, good yeasty bite, refreshing but with a nice funkiness. Great.
