Very fruity with a juicy bubblegum aroma that breaks down to a cocktail of grapefruit, lemon and pear with banana bread and hints of coconut, clove and white pepper spice. Slightly tart, light in body with a crisp, dry, floral finish and just enough bitterness to balance the sweet fruity character. The Calypso hops are a perfect match for the base beer; amplifying the best bits and creating a deceptively complex and irresistibly drinkable blend of old and new world styles.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from HOTM I think. Pours clear yellow-gold with a foamy, white head. Lightly sweet with some certain yeast character, a little bubble gum, grass, wheat flakes, lemon peel, biscuits. Light bodied with active carbonation. Decent balance to finish, some grassy hops, more citrus peel, saison yeast, straw, grain husk, more dried wheat. Tasty saison.
