Crack out the festive sweaters because ’tis the season to be jolly. German malts, Belgium candi sugar and French farmhouse yeast make this Saison de Noël complex, tart and more fruity than a Christingle orange.

330ml bottle from Turners London Road - Read Garrold’s review, had a mop ready. Used it. After the expected gusher was left with about half a bottle, hazy gold with a massive head. Nose of coriander, sweet oranges, with a bit of spiciness. Very refreshing and good fun. Wish I’d had more mind you.

Bottle. Beer Stop, Dronfield. MASSIVE GUSHER! One mop up operation later, and there’s a couple of mouthfuls in the glass. Cloudy (who’d have thought it?) amber colour. Huge (who’d have thought it?) creamy white head. Aroma is fairly spicy. Notes of ginger. Clove. Anise. Big saison yeast. Granary malts. Brown sugar. Smells great. Taste is grainy sweet, with a spicy bitterness, that builds. Rich, soft mouthfeel. Finishes long, spicy bitter, with a soft stickiness on the lips. Very nice. Pity that most of it went all over the kitchen!
