473ml can. Pours a hazy gold-yellow with a medium, foamy, long lasting, white head that laces. Aroma of bready wheat malt, pineapple, orange and earthy yeast. Sweet flavour of bready wheat malt, pineapple, tangerine, orange peel and black pepper in a crisp, dry, tangy finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Refreshing and easy to drink. A good patio beer.

Can. Gold - clear until the last little bit (one of the few problems with cans) - with a white head that doesn't last that well. Aroma of tropical fruit, lemons on the turn, some boot polish, white wine. 7+ Some fruity sweetness as ell as moderate sourness. No particular finish. Refreshing, tangy and vinous. Perhaps a little strong for what it offers but a solid drinker.

Really nice white pink foam on a reddish copper clear body, smells strongly of sugary raspberry with a hint of sharp hops. Flavour is muddled raspberry and a bit of malt. Mouthfeel is really bad with heavy tin, wateriness, awkward aftertaste. They had me in the first half, not gonna lie, but there's work to be done here.

473ml can. Pours a slightly hazy amber-copper with a medium, foamy, long lasting, off-white head that laces. Sweet aroma of grainy pale malt, plum, prune and earthy yeast. Sweet flavour of bready pale malt, overripe plum, earthy yeast and floral hops in a dry, tart, light acidic finish. Light body with a smooth, oily texture and average carbonation. Not bad. Easy to drink, but I doubt Tom Jones or Prince are dying to get their hands on this.

355ml can. (2019 vintage) Pours an opaque black with a medium, creamy, short lived, brown head that laces. Sweet aroma of roasted malt, dark chocolate, caramel, earth, coffee and a hint of licorice. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, licorice, dark chocolate, molasses, earth, prune and coffee in a dry, mild bitter, light metallic finish. Medium to full body with a creamy, smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation. Pretty solid, but the light metallic note distracts just enough to keep this beer from being great. Dangerously easy to drink.

buttery stewed peaches. Cream pie, semi dry slightly hoppy. Odd but likeable

way too clean for a Saison. Not Farmhouse at all. Not bad, but amateur hour from breweries I would expect more.
