Keg at Craft. Cloudy pale yellow colour with small thin white head. Looks exactly how you would expect a saison to look. Aroma is slightly herbal, bit spicy, lots of yeast and a bit of funk too. Also peach and mango. Very fruity. Taste adds a touch of bubblegum, bit of citrus. Nice and crisp with a lovely mild hoppy bitterness. Something else in there too, which after reading the description must be the special ingredients. Very nice.

Hazy gold beer, tidy white head. Light palate, semi dry. Brett like sourness with well balanced lemon citrus. A touch of herb. Dry finish with a pinch of pepper. Pretty bloody good Saison!

Bottle at my Pre-CBC Tune-Up Tasting. It pours golden yellow, with a decent white head. The nose is spice (particularly ginger and pepper), farmyard, floral and hay. The taste is ginger, pepper, hay, citrus pith, grapefruit, sweet fruit, herbal, alcohol warmth and floral, with a spicy finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. An interesting take on the saison style.
