330ml bottle bought at Beautiful Beers. Shared with Finn, Travelodge session. A pearl white head to a hazy orange coloured body, lacing rings down the glass. Moderate smell of farmyard and saison fruit. The taste character brings moments of yeasty fruitiness, ripe lemon, and grain. Ends with a farmyard, yeasty touch. Accepted. (Hotel room, Cambridge 14.11.2021).

330ml bottle, gyle no. 63, bought at Beautiful Beers. Shared with Finn, Travelodge session. Firm fawn-coloured head resting over a deep black body, spotty lacing. Prominent brown malty aroma, hints of ripe fruit. Mixed taste profile of pine needles, caramel malts, together with Voss kveik yeast. Has got a malt-fruity finish, slightly tart. Satisfying. (Hotel room, Cambridge 14.11.2021).
