A "continuously hopped saison" apparently intended to honour Swedish music band Kongero and made by Alvinne at the Jackdaw micro brewery, owned by the cousin of the one of the band members, if I understand correctly. Bottle opens with a lot of pressure, but no gushing. Thick and frothy, hops-enhanced, lightly lacing, medium thick, moussy head slowly dissipating here and there in the middle; warm ’old gold’ robe with orangey hue and lively fizz, gradually turning into a misty orange peach with sediment - I guess you could say that this looks very typically like a saison. Aroma of sweetbread, ripe pear, baked banana, peach, camomile and other field flowers, freshly grated ginger, old dry apple cake, fresh orange peel, bitterroot, straw, soap (the wheat I suppose), canned apricot, gin, white pepper, jute, damp hay. Fruity, estery, crisp and very fizzy onset, a tad overcarbonated even for this usually highly effervescent style, minerally and souring a bit, the typically ’Belgian’ impressions of gooseberry, unripe peach, a slight hint of banana and apple, sweetishness of residual white candi sugar but nothing cloying, ’natural’ sourish undercurrent bringing refreshment. Middle phase has ongoing fruitiness and spicy phenols (cloves) over a background of pleasantly bready and lightly caramelly malt sweetishness plus soft sourish ’wheatiness’, leading to a drying finish, juicy but hop bitter, a tad resinous and tonic water-like, floral and spicy, with yeast spiciness blending in well; a hint of warming, ’jenever’-like alcohol lurks in the very end but could have been a bit better hidden. In all, a pleasantly ’noble hopped’, old school saison, completely convincing as such both in looks and in flavor, crisp and earthy at the same time.
