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.

Cask at Six Degrees North, ABZ. It pours hazy golden yellow with a bubbly white head. The nose is banana bread, clove, spice, wheat and citrus peel. The taste is bitter-sweet, banana, generic citrus, toasty sugars, spice and light bitterness with a short, dryish finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Straightforward drinkable wheat ale. Fine.

Bottle from The Beerhive. Cloudy golden body with no head, carbonation or lacing. Aroma of cardboard, banana and pear. Dull fruity flavour with a hint of metal. Thin body with a watery texture. Soft carbonation. Ugly, thin and bland - not great. This bottle was 4.6% ABV.

Keg at the vintage... Deep. Black... Thin tan head... Again to cold and way way to fuzzy for a stout... Light charcoal... And tiny sour like hints but that may just be the fizz which is totally ruining this

Tasting from bottle thanks to Pete @ Beerhive. Appearance - looks like a Wit, kind of cloudy/bitty with a thin head. The colour is barely cream. Nose - gently creamy/wheaty with no hint of the expected orange or coriander. Taste - as with the nose. Palate - very light and thin bodied but a refreshing drink at least. Overall - perhaps lacklustre would be a slightly better name as it lacks the body expected in a wit. However, it wasn’t unpleasant.

Bottle, from Tomlinsons, on the train from Inverness to Hereford 21/10/13. Extremely dark mahogony brown with a thin tan covering/swirl. Nose is dark fruits, liqourice, brown sugars, treacle toffee, hint of smoke, Xmas cake, light boozey waftings. Taste comprises charred wood, light spice, raisens, Xmas cake, treacle toffee. Full bodied, fine carbonation, light booze coated sweet finale. Decent for this made up style, fairly complex, more akin to a Belgian dubbel.
