Three-C’son is a Saison style beer brewed in collaboration with beer writer Adrian Tierney-Jones. Brewed with Pilsner and Wheat malt this beer is pale and hazy, like a sunset seen through the filter of a disintegrating summer’s day. A sweet nose of ripe peach and citrus, a green apple snappiness on the palate and a hint of white pepper from the Three C’s of Columbus, Citra and Centennial, combines with an earthy spice from the use of a traditional Saison yeast that is followed by a firm, refreshingly dry finish.

Cask at The Haymarket. Pours (just) clear pale gold, thin white head. Nice yeasty saison aromas, light white pepper, some grapefruit beneath. Taste has more bready yeast, light bitterness and grapefruit again. Dry finish. Very nice.

330ml bottle from somewhere in Cardiff. Not your typical saison, quite a light appearance, like cloudy lemonade.. presents the crisp dryness of a pilsner with a fresh saison-esque floral character and a sharp spiciness. The three ’C’ hops are all present and accounted for, adding to a good floral citrus flavour. Quite lively and gassy, but that’s really my only criticism.
