Pours pale straw in colour beneath tight, white foam; blackcurrant and strawberry, orange and banana are all in the aroma mix along with a pinch of clovey-pepper spice to remind us we’re in the wonderful world of Saison here.
Full bodied and flavourful for an ABV of just 4%, with layered complexity and a beautifully soft mouthfeel giving the impression of a bigger beer. Tinned peaches, pineapple and grass come in waves, with a hint of spice and dry finish to keep everything crisply refreshing.

Can from Lupe Pintos. Hazy pale golden body with lots of tiny flecks beneath a thin white head that fades. No visible carbonation. Patchy lacing. Aroma of grapefruit and white candy sticks. Flavour of lemon sweets and chalky malt. Medium body with a smooth texture. Light fizz. Crisp and nicely hoppy.

Can at home in Hackney - sourced from Cork & Cask online. Pours crystal clear yellow-gold with a fluffy, white head. Lightly sweet with subdued brett funk, a little salt, semi-ripe lemon, melon, nips of grass and straw. Light bodied with active yet delicate carbonation - it's airy. Lightly drying finish, further funk, salty nips, understated citrus. Really nice, highly drinkable gear.

Can thanks to Phil. Appearance - cloudy yellow with a big foamy white head. Nose - gooseberry, tomato plant stalk and candied lemon. Something a touch spicy lurking. Taste - green apple, dry herb like tarragon. Light white pepper note. Palate - light bodied, with a light creamy note that is cleaned out by a long, dry finish which is both bitter and tangy. Overall - great stuff!
