Can. ESB or ESA?. Clear reddish amber with a pale beige head that lasts really well. Aroma of bread crust, dusty hops, grilled peach, mild spices - doesn't really hint at its strength. Rich w dried, stewed and singed fruit - damsons!, caught raisins - before stern, gripping and very English floral bitterness takes hold. Doesn't really do enough to justify its strength except at the very decisive end.

Can. Black with a light tan head. Peppery oak is quite prominent over roast, mocha, dark berries, bread, licorice. Very smooth textured with low carbonation. Dryish with bread, mocha, berries, licorice, spiced bitterness, oak. After a while the drying woody finish seems a bit tannic. Just kept revealing more. Fine stuff.

(Bottle) Pours clear golden with tiniest white head. Aroma is citrus and damp cardboard. Nice palate; light body with fine soft carbonation. Lovely tart taste, but not puckeringly sour, in fact the sourness has some complexity to it - lemon and natural yogurt. There’s some bready notes, and hints of damp cardboard and no bitterness. Refreshing, unusual, very drinkable.

330ml bottle shared with and courtesy of Deanso. Poured a hazy medium amber colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is stale dank hops, light resin, tropical citrus fruits. The flavour is moderate bitter with a crisp, malt, fruity, light dry woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

Bottle. Clear gold with a large white head - topping up the glass after a while makes it a little cloudy. Aroma of citrus (lime leaf, mandarin, grapefruit), funky cracker dough, spices. A bit wit-like - particularly the fact that some of the citrus is clearly fruit - but nice funk too. The topped up glass has a softer texture but the citrus and spices are still perhaps not as well integrated as they might be. Dry with modest bitterness at the end with the spices settling most convincingly there. A little disjointed but a nice finish.

On tap at Good Beer Week 2019 Launch Gala. Pours golden with healthy head. A lot of citrus in nose alongside straw and socks. Pretty classic saison. Nice and dry and citrussy.

From a 500ml bottle on 10/3/2019 (shared by Butz with thanks). Pours a slightly opaque golden with almost no head. Smells funky, bready and spicy. In the mouth, you get lots of bready malt, yeast, some lime, lemon and orange, and a good whack of clove and spice, Lightish body with soft carbonation. I'm not really a fan of saisons, so keep this in mind when it comes to the rating. But this does nothing for me.
