Draught at Britannia, Richmond
Cloudy amber colour with creamy head. Mild aroma of spicy Saison yeast. The same yeast is less present in the flavour, also it's moderately sweet and fruity, grapey, but didn't get much barrel character apart from that. Some phenol and anise in the final.
Not bad.

Draught @ St. Augs. Dull amber with a slight haze. Not much head. Plasticy phenols are the most prominent aromatic feature, to my dismay. Same on the palate...sticky, little bit of bubblegum, lots of plastic. Gluey malts, and a noted absence of the grape must that was added. Disappointing - the saison yeast used here has dominated the fermentation, and was done at too warm a temperature, so because stuck and phenolic. The result is an unpleasant, underattenuated mess that you might solve by firing it into a barrel with some brett for nine months, but certainly doesn't work as is.
