330ml can on 20th June 2017 at the monthly tasting in Chez Sophie, shared between five of us. Misty old gold body wise, the head a weak, wispy off-white affair. Tropical fruits abound in the aroma and taste, Pink Grapefruit came to mind and I couldn’t shift that thought as I sniffed and sampled the beer. Decent.

Can. Hazy gold beer, patchy white head. Palate is light, fairly dry and has low carbonation. Thin malts, very mild sweetness. A touch of orange hop bitterness. Light dry finish. Nothing off here but it’s apologetic and wishy washy, really not doing anything for me.

Can shared in London - sourced from Eebria. Pours clear honey-gold with a billowing, frothy white head. There’s a bit of raw alcohol in the nose, phenols, sun-kissed wheat, orange peel. Medium sweet flavour with crisp and grainy bready character, more booze, yeast, faint honey. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. A little oily. Pretty boozy in the finish, lightly warming, more wheat, sweat wheat bread, mild bitter citrus peel. This one is a bit raw overall. So so.

Can at home in London - sourced from the Eebria taproom. Opens with a slight gush. Pours clear golden yellow with a small, creamy white head. Moderate saison yeast expression in the aroma, some pale grains, pear, lemon peel, flaked wheat. Light to medium sweet flavour with more wheat bread, semi-ripe lemon, some husky bitterness, grass, hay. Light to medium bodied with lively, massaging carbonation. Finishes with some citrus rind, orange, a little further grassy bitterness, pale grains, light alcohol, more saison yeast, hay. A pretty decent saison overall.

Can from Bottle Baron. Milky bronze body with a thick off-white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of orange, biscuit and pineapple. Flavour of lemon and spring onion. Medium body with a gritty texture. Soft fizz. A well made DIPA that features two of my favourite hops. What’s not to like?

Bottleshare at Chez Smith. Thanks to Leighton for the can. Hazy red - amber beer, small pale tan head. Palate is light and dry, modest carbonation. Smooth dark malts, mild roast. Dry dark fruits. Mild hop spice and bitterness. Smooth dry finish. Lacks a bit of hop brightness.
