Brewed with Horizon, Tradition & East KEnt Goldings hops. Fermented with Brettanomyces Burxellensis (Drei).

750ml bottle pours a hazy, deep orange with some frothy, white head. Nose has some green bell pepper, some Citra hop, orange juice, some musty white grape. Flavor has green coffee cherry, green bell pepper, some parsley, mild honey, some turbinado sugar. Full bodied, oily finish. Odd.

Draft - Nice coffee notes. Clear gold with a rich white head. Light coffee and some fruity Belgian esters. Rich and creamy with the coffee allowing the beer to peak through. Decent.

Pours rather clear , slightly amber . Smell is coffee , taste is bitter , saison aspects have the upperhand . Coffee is only there in very hidden aspects, in contradiction to the smell . Interesting .
