Our take on what we think a traditional farmhouse ale should be – bright, vibrant and refreshing. For this beer we take Pilsner malt and combine with oats to provide a biscuity base, and then overlay with Brewers Gold and Crystal hops, orange peel and coriander to create a citrusy and seemingly hoppy beer.

330ml bottle; BB 3rd Sep 18. poured into a Hoegaarden Grand Cru stemmed tulip glass at home on 27th Apr 18. Slight haze to the light, see through golden body, wispy white head. A lot of Saison lovers might think this a bit 'tepid' in nature, but I prefer my Saisons to be less 'dirty farmyard/horse blanket and sour', this just plays at the style and I am more the happier for it. Yeasty and smelling/tasting of dank hops with a light spicy feel in with the mild fruity flavours. Almost liked it.

330ml bottle. Cloudy, dark golden colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Slightly fruity and herbal-grassy, hoppy aroma, hints of green pear, basil, parsley. Taste delivers rather identical flavours, adventitious hoppy overtones with a spicy touch of hay, fruity hints of peach emerge close to the finish.

Lost & Co, Putney - on tap, pours a hazy pale lemon yellow colour with a small foamy white head. A grainy, yeasty aroma some light floral notes. A grainy taste, wheat and malt, some overipe fruit and spicy yeasty flavours and an earthy dryness in the finish. Not a lot of bitterness but a pleasant refreshing beer.
