Crisp, bright, floral saison, full of nice red apple esters and a mild yeasty citric undertone. Grass and pepper mix with modest clove and banana notes, leading to a fruity, slightly tart middle and a firm, moderate bitter finish. Sparkly carbonation gives it the feel of a traditional French farmhouse ale. Nose offers up hay and yeast and mild clove, and the pour’s not bad, sparkly and bright gold with a frothy white head and modest lacing. About as classic as an American saison can get.

Bottle at home, split with James, 05/05/17. Lightly hazed orange golden with a decent off white cap. Nose is funk, farmyard, peach esters, straw, hedgerow, lemon drizzle. Taste comprises sweet and sour citric vibes, straw, light yeast esters, mellow funk, earthhy, light spice trail. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close. Solid saison ... ticks all the style boxes well.

In the traditional vein of a Belgian saison, but a touch too sweet and not enough musty funk.

Tasting at Matt’s; 6% ABV
Cloudy blond color, medium sized head, compact. Aroma of spicy yeast, but also notes of petrol and plastic. Highly carbonated, bone dry mouthfeel, spicy, but with strong astringency and vegetable bitterness.
Not impressed.

Slightly hazy blonde. The aroma is has herbal continental hop, Dupont-y yeast notes, a little bit of phenols (gum), touch of dried florals and orange notes. On the palate, this is quite dry, with a light orangey hop notes. Quite a bit of sweetness comes out, with a sticky pale malt note, and a dash orangey. Has a lot of good elements, though does not excel at any particular one...nothing standout, but basically a solid, authentic saison.

750mL bottle, pours a hazy yellowish blonde with a medium white head. Nose is truly authentic, with lots of rustic saison yeast character and subdued toasted crackery malt. Flavour is very fresh and authentic, with loads of that rustic saison yeast dominating upfront, with a dry crackery malt. Rustic and loads of depth. Now this is an excellent classic saison.
