Bottle from the lcbo online store. Cloudy yellow pour, large white head. Spectacular Aroma is funky wheat, pepper, light spice, lemon zest and sharp grasses. Mouth feel and carb are spot on. Finish is crisp, and refreshing. Clean cereals, zesty hops, light grasses and hints of funk, and malted wheat. What a great example of a classic table saison.

Can picked up from Beer Republic webshop Berkel-Enschot Netherlands and consumed at home Thursday 13th February 2025 listening to Huw Stephens on 6Music it's Round Table tonight. We're cooking Fish Goujons with Chips and Mushy Peas. Pours hazy yellow gold with a sticky white head. There's a fuzzy indistinct bitterness and yes it's a bit juicy, as expected it doesn't really know what it is and is clearly trying to appeal to two groups, however fails in my view. It's fine but tastes a bit thin, yeah it's hoppy but I just don't get it.
