Cask @ Victorian Craft Beer Café, Halifax. Dark amber-brown, but certainly more of the latter. Has a sugary-fruity aroma and taste. Has a low sourness and is more sweetened in taste than anything else.

Bottle. Brownish beer with a very strong frothy head. The aroma is sour with bitterness, and the flavour is very bitter with plenty of hops and some smoky sourness. Overall a nice sour and bitter beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle, gift from Andrew. Hazy chestnut brown with a thick beige head. Lively carbonation. Nice lacing. Aroma of blood orange, steel and sticky mango. Flavour of toffee apple, orange zest, grapes and caramel. Medium body with a spritzy mouthfeel. Very fizzy. Not what I was expecting but I really enjoyed this raw, hoppy Saison.

500ml bottle from Fire & Ice, Narberth. Pours hazy amber with small off-white head. Nice rosy, fruity saison with a light peppery finish. A decent different take on the style.

Pint from the Raven, Bath, and very nice it was too. Deep hazy chestnut brown colour with a thin white head. Aroma has wheat and a rich yeasty sweetness, with a touch of spice. Taste is bittersweet.

On cask at the Haymarket. Appearance - hazy brown with an orange or red chink. Nice head. Nose - toffee and minerality running underneath. Taste - same again. I guess the saison yeast is causing the mineral notes. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy yet tangy mineral texture and a long dry mineral finish. Overall - interesting and quite good.

Cask, Handpump, The Firefly, Worcester, Saturday 4th January 2014. Pours black with a creamy off-white head. Roasty in the mouth, soft, very tangy quite nice, full flavoured. Furry in the mouth, leaves a little hoppy furry coating, a little spicy around the edges. Good but not great. A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov13 3.3

Cask at The Rake, London. Pours clear brown with very little head. Dark doughy malt nose, some ripe berries. Light to medium sweet flavor, some dough, leafy bitterness, wet wood. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Pretty dry to finish, dark dough, brown bread, leaves, dry berries. Nothing special.
