Bottle. Beer Stop Dronfield. Light haze on a pale straw gold. Very decent soppy white foam. Nose has a Belgian like yeast vibe. Some soapy hop. Wheat. Light funk. Not as expected that’s for sure. Taste is dry and moderate bitter. Very clean and quenching. Brisk rolling carbonation. Dry and bitter finish. Nice one. Good shout adding it as a Belgian Pale, too.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from Clapton Craft, OG. Pours mostly clear yellow-gold with a fluffy, white head. Light sweet flavour with bright yeast expression, strong floral notes, grassy bitterness, flakes wheat. Light bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Aggressively bitter finish, more grass, yeast notes, straw, grain husk, wheat. Nice but the bitterness is out of balance.

Keg at Pigs Ear '23, day two, 29/11/23. Almost clear golden blonde topped with an off white head. Nose is tangy citric shreds, herb, straw, light yeast fizz. Taste comprises yeast esters, straw, barnyard, lemon nip, light white peppery spice, grains, stale bread. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close. Decent Belgian affair ... saison like.

Keg at Brownhill & Co, Leeds. Pours hazy yellow with a thick white head. Aromas of peppery salmon yeast (might have loaded this in the wrong category, but there wasn't much to go on!). Taste is doughy, light grassy hop and spice. Fresh finish
