16oz can from HalfTime. Pale yellow pour yields a persistent sturdy white head. Biscuity, bready aroma, hint of lemon. Taste is soft and smooth, bready, kiss of lemon with some lingering fruity notes. Really enjoyable.

Draught at Brighton, 10/2/24. Coppery-brass. Clear. Small, white head to bubbles quickly. Various spices, a bit bitter, but earthy too, and interesting. Getting more round, malty, savory, not too clovey as it warms and breathes. Bitter herb, not dominant, with clean esters and peppery phenols. Not dominated by clove or adjunct. Malty but good dryness.

Brighton draught, 10/2/24. Clear blonde-golden. Small, white head, steadily to cover. Sweet, honey-like malts with a bit of clove and strong white pepper. No banana or bubble gum, but not exactly an elegant Dupont or Blaugies-esque example. But it's clean. Clove galore, white pepper and a solid, very malty body for its size. For all the good Notch does, they can't seem to make a real Saison. Just a lot of clove and pepper here and not much to get excited about besides the rich maltiness.

Malty, light, crisp. Not too sweet. Easy drinking lager.

Pours deep, clear gold into a willi. Bright white head medium retention recedes to skim surface. Meadow and spice aromas. Crisp with sweet banana, bubblegum and earthy wild meadow spice funk upfront. I don't know what Gentian Root, Cubeb Berries and Mugwort taste like - but this sure tastes like it. Turning into a lasting, sweet bubblegum finish.

Pours deep, clear mahogany into a willi. Tan head with little retention recedes to mottle surface. Caramel and molasses aromas. Thick with sweet molasses and butterscotch upfront turning to earthy toasted and buttered multigrain in the medium length finish.

Pours slightly hazed gold into a stein. Bright white head with excellent retention does not recede. Smoked apple and earthy multigrain aromas. Medium bodied with tart lemon, apple and sweet sourdough front to back. Lasting slightly toasted bready finish.
