Bottle via the online shop. Hazed pale gold. Decent lasting white foam. Nose has peach stone and dessert apple. Oak shavings. Brett. Touch of manure. Taste has a fruity sweetness with a refreshing funky dryness. Nice level of juicy tartness. Clean and bright. Dry-ish finish. Not overly complex and probably all the better for a fruity saison.

Rate lifted from UT. It’s really more like cider than beer as it stands. Loads of bruised apple character on top of woody leathery funk. Sharp and clean with a dessert apple acidity. Quality.

Bottle via the online shop. Rate lifted from UT. Works for me with Mills writ through. Tangy fruity coffee. Low key barrel notes. It’s class is what it is.

Taster showing dark amber with sparse white foam.

The nose shows moderately intense notes of coffee and vegetal bell pepper.

The palate is very well carbonated and light bodied. Moderately tart with bretty and horse blanket forward and light flavors of coffee throughout.

75cl split by SirAlex Straight outta Bury. Pours amber copper with a small White head. Earthy coffee leaning towards cold coffee and green pepper. Medium bodied. Sippable though lacking the refinement you normally find in beers from Mills.

From tap at Wild Festival Groningen 2019. Notes of red wine barrel, vinous, lots of oak. Tart flavour, bit sweetish, some funk, mild sour. Medium body. Plenty going on here, with the red wine being dominant.
