330ml Bottle - Amber with a slight haze and a foamy head. Biscuity malt, passion fruit and some spicy and soapy notes in the aroma. Tangy, hoppy, fruity and slightly spicy taste with peach, apricot and mango detected. Nice but does not taste too much like a saison to me.

Keg at the Kings Arms - London. Pours mostly clear yellow-gold with a creamy white head. Strong saison yeast aroma with nips of grapefruit and plastic. Medium sweet flavorbwith a hit of booze, some grassy hops, lemon rind, other citrus pith, hay. Medium bodied with average to lively carbonation. Finishes with some sweet dried wheat, more grass, hay, lemon rind. Fair.

Keg at the kings arms. Translucent yellow straw coloured pour with a lasting white cap. Aroma is nice sharp lemon citrus, pollen, midget gems, straw, lemon rind. Decent saison yeast character on the nose. Flavour is composed of light grains, straw, tangy lemon, saison yeast, floral notes. Nice and characterful. Palate is light and refreshing, highish carbonation , grainy on the tongue. Good solid saison.
