Bottle from Vino Wines. Clear golden body with a thin white head. Low carbonation. Light lacing. Aroma of biscuit, grass and a hint of peach. Flavour of earth, herbs, grass and - fittingly - shortbread. Thin body with a watery, slightly oily texture. Soft fizz. Great labels, although the ’blue bird with a thistle in its beak, trying to break free from its cage’ one isn’t going to win any prizes for subtlety.

The taste is doughy, gingery spice,wheat, herbal, citrus peel, light bitterness with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Decent spicy notes about it. Alright.

On cask at Au Bar. Appearance - cloudy yellow. Creamy head Nose - a little sulphur at first but this clears to reveal citrus zest and a little spice. Taste - lots of wit and saison things going on here. Oranges into pineapple sorbet. White pepper and maybe some cloves. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy yet tangy texture and a fairly balanced dry finish. Overall - a nice departure for this brewery from more traditional British styles.
