Tap at Gar Eden. Nice stuff, saison aroma, grainy, bit of berries, light yoghurt, hint of something herbal. Taste is good, soft saison flavours, strawberry yoghurt, just a hint of the saltiness, don't really get the hop part though. Maybe a touch of grassiness there but you have to look for it. Very nice. Much less full on than the ISS.

Borefts IX. Day 2. Keg. Light haze on this pale yellow - gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Light palate, dry and with good fine carbonation. Thin pale malts, not that sweet. A floral black pepper vibe into spicy citrus. Dry and bitterish finish. Bitter spicy floral linger. Interesting saison.
