330ml bottle, many thanks to ManVsBeer. Pours an huge white head over a misty golden body, spotty lacing. Moderate tea-like hops on the nose, lightly spiced. Malt-fruity flavours, some spices, and a backdrop of yeasty fruitiness. Medium bodied. Fair enough. (Hotel Room, Leeds University 04.07.2019).

Keg at the Queens Road Tap, Leicester. Golden, hazy with a wispy white head. Yeasty aroma but there are some harsh elements: slightly musty and metallic. Sweet, spicy taste with zesty, sugary and floral flavours. Bitterness increases toward the finish, creating a slightly acrid aftertaste. Heavy carbonation. It's got some flaws but all in all its a refreshing beer.

Keg @ Cellar Bar, Chester. Pours gold. Aroma of Belgian yeast, floral flourishes. Taste is bright with comforting fuzzy saison yeast and just enough floral jasmin to add some colour to the glass. Nice.
