Portland Beer Hub draught, 12/12/24. Clear, golden-brass. Large, white head. Bready with lots of yeast. Very fruity with unusual kumquat and papaya in there. Lots of white pepper, light clove... Malty or spelty, I guess. Chewy, big and sumptuous body with lots of depth. Not in love with the yeast though I don't hate it either. Yellow fruit, heavy white pepper, moderate clove.

Draft at the Kings Head. Cloudy golden, sparse head. Lime and basil split the aroma, citrusy, herbal. Basil steers the taste, savory notes working well with the farmhouse yeast.

500 ml bottle. 2021 vintage at 5.8% ABV. Nose is fruity Belgian yeast, spelt and lemon. Flavor is classic for the style and real pleasant. Notes of lemon, honey and some light yeast. Light-bodied, with effervescent mouthfeel leading into a dry texture. Well made.

500 ml bottle. 2021 vintage at 7.1% ABV. Aroma is rustic grain, lemon zest, and a little bit of floral characters. Flavor has a level of depth I wasn’t expecting. Has a soft wheat backbone with lemon essence, oats, soft spice and a kiss of that floral character that is found in the aroma. Effervescent mouth feel with a lively crisp texture. Nicely crafted!

Bottle from explosivedog and Emily: pours light copper with a white head. Aroma is funky, floral, herbal, lemon. Taste is spicy, floral, Belgian yeast (not in a saison way, but more in a Belgian Strong Ale). Pretty good.
