I had a sample at the Telegraph before I bought a pint and I am glad I did. A good taste with very well balanced yeast and hops. In fact, an impressive range of flavours considering the abv. It had a huge mouthfeel and a lot of carbonation as it was off a keg. There was no way I could have managed a pint and I think a half would have been difficult! I do struggle with Saisons and that may be part of the reason. I had a Darkstar Hophead instead and was very happy.
