500ml bottle, from trade with Ash! Many thanks. BBD 31/12/14 so perhaps not an accurate reflection of the beer. Pours hazy gold, huge unrelenting head. Aroma is herbal. Taste is herbal, leafy, floral with dandelions, pine and sweet malts with faint saison yeast peering from underneath. Doesn’t particularly join up well but it’s different.

Tasting at Bruce’s pad. Light haze on this amber beer. Tidy pale cream coloured head. Light fruity nose. Light semi dry palate. Fine carbonation. The light malt flashes by reveals tangy generic fruits. Develops a little grapefruit and orange hop bitterness. Light dry finish. Interesting and drinkable.
