Cloudy and tan. Aroma has doughy malts, and some light herbal hops. Very yeasty palate and the malts are indeed doughy, and overall this muddled presentation is a negative.

Cloudy light tan. Not a good look. Aroma is quite fruity and yeasty, the taste similar, but more refined. The malts are pale and a little bit doughy, the citrus might be a bit muddled but it’s refreshing. Bitterness isn’t huge but it’s just enough. A decent take on the old "Belgian IPA" fad.

Cloudy blonde. Smells kind of like a fruit salad - pears, banana, melon, apple. Light yeast (weihen hefe?) and pale malts first, then fuller bodied but blandish doughy pale malts and yeasty hops.

Keg at The Hanging Bat. Pours hazy orange, thin to no head. Belgian yeast esters high on the nose, alcohol and orange peel. Light spice. Taste has more yeastiness, more dried orange peel. Oily texture, dry finish. Not bad.

Keg at the vintage... Was warned Murky... And it is.. Small white head... Soft banana toffee nose... Too cold and a bit over fizzy... Sweet banana toffee... Soft mellow... Light peppery yeast finish... Ruined by the fizz for me.

Tap at Friends of Ham, Leeds. Hazy, pale amber. Sweetness similar to caramel popcorn. Some spiciness along the lines of star anise. Got a hint of blue cheese, too. Taste is grassy dry. Little in the way of bitterness. Long, dry finish. Slightly curious. Liked it.

Keg at Six D North, Aberdeen. It pours cloudy pale orange with a small white head. The nose is earthy, wheat, barnyard, some cream cheese and hay. The taste is crisp, orange, tangerine, minerals, wheat, light fruity tartness and sherbet with a dry finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Nice citrus character to it. Crisp and very drinkable. Tasty stuff.

33cl Bottle. Appearance - light olden lemon with a decent head. Nose - tangy slightly farmhouse. If there’s any fruit it’s probably somewhere between lemon and pineapple. Taste - definitely a herby pineapple on the taste. Palate - medium bodied with some sweet and soir going on through the middle section and a dry tangy finish. Overall - a solid representation of a Saison. Would’ve liked deeper pineapple flavours and the expected spiciness was missing. Enjoyable though.
