Originally cultivated in the U.K. by the Gage family here in Firle, it seems only natural to marry these fruits with a special oak aged saison. Incredibly tart with a beautiful full fruit flavour and dry finish.

Greengage on the nose, but more grapes in the mouth. Soft funk, dry. Something slightly dark on the finish

Nose is tarte green berries, funk, straw, grains, orange rind, herb. Taste comprises green berry must, light stoned fruit, barnyard esters, yeast, herb, hedgerow, modest funk, apple skins. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light drying close. Solid flavoursome stuff.

Bottle shared in Canary Wharf - picked up from BS online. Pours unclear orange-gold with a lasting, creamy off-white head. Lightly sweet with nice pale wood, soft funk, salt, lemony tang. Medium bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Salty finish, some tangerine, more dry funk, cleansing acidity. Solid.

Bottle. Burning Sky online shop. Fairly grubby looking, very deep blush pink. Dense ring of off white head. Nose has loads of fruit. Sweet plum and gage. Plum and gage stone. Damp oak. Vanilla. Light on the funk. What there is, is all leathery and fusty lemon. Taste has a fruity sweetness, turning tart, dry and lightly bitter. Easy drinking gear with fine carbonation. Generous, fruity, bittersweet finish.
