Australia Day Beer #8. 330ml can into pint glass. Smells a bit ’Euro-lager’ initially but soon clears to a light citric note. Cloudy yellow beer with a thin horizon of lacing. High carbonation. Refreshing, cleansing, easy to drink. Only a hint of lime and the salt is very, very late in arriving. Nice beer but a pale shadow of ’Freshie’.

There are aromas of coffee, salt and sarsaparilla, and similar flavours, plus some apricot and grapefruit. I'm not sure that a coffee gose is really the way to go.

(Bottle) Pours clear golden with big white head. Excellent tangy fruity aroma - citrus with hints if stone fruit. Light body, excellent mouth filling carbonation. The taste is all about the hops, but without them being overwhelming. The start is citrusy, then the hop flavours start to develop steadily with plenty of pleasant bitterness at the end. Nice beer.

Taster at Beer Deluxe Barangaroo. Rose-coloured like pink champagne. Thin film on top. Light carbonation. Slight hop nose. Sour and yeasty, real yeasty! Clears my sinuses! Then the sweet fruit appears at the end. Long finish has yeast, sweet and sour. Excellent.

Bottled at Reggina del Formaggio, shared with heavy (thanks!). Poured an almost clear ruby body. Lovely pungent aroma, dry figs, light cherry, heavy maltiness really. Woody, dry taste, figs again, cherries, dry maltiness, nicely and lean. Chewy cherry cand y touches, dry bitterish finish that balances things out. Wow, this is a superbly executed beer, even more impressive after you read the ingredients list. Great job guys!

Bottle at Reggina del Formaggio, shared with heavy. Poured a murky amber-orange body with a small white head. Funky aroma, orange, some smoked cheese, smells like a smoked lambic I guess. Taste... well, surprisingly bitter up front, again genuine smoked cheese notes (in a good way), soft funk, light tartness, quite unique, far better than the last smoked saison I’ve had (though so are most crap beers as that one was abysmal). Really glad we got these two.

(Bottle) Pours cloudy yellow orange with no head. Pleasant aroma - citrus, hints of candy. Light body with very little, but fine, carbonation. Taste is very nice balance of tart and salty / spicy. Starts nicely tart with salty hints and the salt and spice notes steadily develop. Unusual and very drinkable.

500 ml bottle into tulip glass, best before 9/2017. Pours slightly hazy/cloudy medium golden/yellow color with a 2-3 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a large cap that lasts. Thick soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a large amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big lemon, pear, apple, peach, white grape, peppercorn, coriander, clove, wheat, biscuit, herbal, and yeast earthiness; with lighter notes of coffee, chocolate, vanilla, and nuttiness. Very nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/earthy yeast, spices, moderate pale malt, and light coffee notes; with great strength. Taste of big lemon, pear, apple, peach, white grape, peppercorn, coriander, clove, wheat, biscuit, herbal, and yeast earthiness; with lighter notes of coffee, chocolate, vanilla, and nuttiness. Good amount of yeast spiciness and light-moderate herbal hop bitterness; with slight yeast tartness and wheat tang on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, pear, apple, peach, white grape, peppercorn, coriander, clove, wheat, biscuit, herbal, light chocolate/coffee, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/earthy yeast, spices, moderate pale malt, and light coffee flavors; with a great malt/bitter/spiciness balance, and zero cloying flavors after the finish. High carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, crisp, dry, and moderately creamy/grainy/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is nice. A bit prickly/foamy/rough at first, before the carbonation lowers a bit in the glass. Minimal warming alcohol as expected of 6.6%. Overall this is an excellent saison. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/earthy yeast, spices, moderate pale malt, and light coffee flavors; very smooth, crisp, and pretty refreshing to drink with the high carbonation. Not a whole lot of coffee/wattle flavors, but they are definitely noticeable in the background; making this still feel like a true to-style saison all around. A very enjoyable offering.
