330ml bottle (dated 2015). Pours dark dull pink with a light pink fizzy head. Aroma has that fruity yoghurt thing going on that fruit lambics do. Boysenberry up front, raspberry, cranberry, little brioche, some vinegar. Finish is all sweet red wine, with lots of berry character. Really pretty nice.

330ml bottle (dated 2014). Pours extremely murky and pale brown with some head. Pear, apple, vanilla, plenty of that saison yeast. Spicy, fruity, and seems to have aged surprisingly well. 8/1/7/3/14. Rerate: 330ml bottle (dated 2016). Pours bright orange. Lemon peel, orange peel, bitter orange, nutmeg, botanical bitters type thing, dry peppery finish. Light spritzy body. Nice, much better than the previous rating.

Bottle from Taps Beer Bar, Changkat, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a slightly hazy orange amber with a frothy white head and lots of bubbles. The aroma is orange citrus, light mineral, light hop. The flavour is light acid citrus sour with a crisp big citrus fruit, grainy mineral, light acidic palate with some grassy hop notes. Medium bodied with lively carbonation. A superb and very nicely balanced saison. Pretty awesome!

Very cloudy. Big big frothy white head the head just kept coming and coming. Big hoppy nose with oak, though it doesn’t seem oak barreled, tons of hops. Lots of funkiness with juniper berries and caramel. Light hoppy mouth with tons of citrus jumping through. Dry and hoppy. Big bitter hoppy finish.

Draft at Taps Beer Bar, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a clear dark amber with a thin white head and a little broken lace. The aroma is sweet sticky treacle toffee malt light yeast. The flavour is moderate sweet with a sweet, light smoky malt, floral alcoholic bitter palate and a lingering bitter sweet finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation. More like a barley wine than a smoked ale. The smoke was barely detectable.

Bottle from new Craftissimo at home. Slightly hazy golden blonde pour with plush foamy head. Aroma is Belgian-y, with apple, pepper, spice. Is this a Pilsner? More like a light saison. Taste too. Slightly hoppy and crisp but mostly saison/Belgian flavors. Still light and fresh though. Not sure it would be a great pair for Indian curry (as it says on the label). Wouldn't get again.

Draft at Taps Beer Bar, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a hazy light amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is yeast, light hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a dry, crisp yeasty, light floral citrus palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. I’m sure it’s a fine beer to accompany a curry, but then again, so is water.

Draft at Taps Beer Bar, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a hazy straw colour with a thin white head and plenty of bubbles. The aroma is big acid citrus. The flavour is light sweet with a light, slightly watery grapefruit citrus palate. Light bodied with average carbonation. Rather nice as far as ciders go and a lot less sweet than I expected.
