A French style Saison. The use of the yeast, Nelson Sauvin, Citra & Motueka hops give it a distinctive white wine fruitiness with spicy, peppery notes.

Draft at the brewery. Poured a hazy golden colour with an everlasting frothy white head. The aroma is Belgian yeast. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a smooth, somewhat rich, yeasty, dry, herbal, palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

Keg at the brewery. Lightly hazed yellow colour with a lasting thick white head. A big floral hit overlays a honey base, with a growing grape stickiness coming through (apparently Nelson Sauvin is the main hop used). There's a kick of black pepper and a mild dusty bitterness in the finish, but the lovely fresh florals persist. Loving the flowers in this! An excellent if atypical saison; I thoroughly enjoyed this.
