Pure white frothy head soon left a good cover on a finely carbonated, pale golden body. Herbaceous aroma, spicy, zesty citrus & yeast. Medium bodied, tingly on the palate but smooths out over the back to leave a cloying finish. Taste is very similar to the aroma, herbs, sweet citrus, banana, yeast & fruity, tangy, bitter aft.

30ml bottle. Minimally cloudy, yellow-ish, pale golden colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Slightly funky, herbal-spicy, minimally fruity and citrusy hoppy aroma, hints of brine, a touch of pear. Taste is dry, fruity, minimally bready malty, herbal-spicy yeasty, hints of apple, a touch of pear, sage, woodruff, citrusy hoppy overtones. Quite rich, very harmonius, light and refreshing.

330 ml bottle gifted by Leighton, much thanks! Pale yellow hazy pour with a lasting finger of white head. Aroma is lemon, yeast, a wisp of spice and a slight grassiness. Flavor is pretty much spot on the aroma. This is a spot on clone of the original saison style ale. Mouthfeel is not to spicy, good yeast presence. Real nice!

Bottle at home. It pours clear pale straw yellow with a medium white head. The aroma is fresh, fragrant, green banana, candy, double bubble, straw, earth and cereal. The taste is crisp, dry, straw, grassy, peppery spice, slightly herbal, hay, green banana, soda water and citrus zest with a drying finish. Medium body and moderate, prickly carbonation. OK saison, but lacks a bit of wow factor.
