On tap at Fair Isle, pours a hazy bright golden with a small white head. Aroma reveals plenty of smokiness, with rustic saison yeast, oak, and subtle pear skins. Flavour is vibrant, with lots of smoked pears, rustic saison head, and oak in wonderful cohesion. The smoked pears are incorporated perfectly here. Excellent.

On tap at Fair Isle, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma is full of farmhouse funk, rustic saison yeast, and some earthiness from the mushrooms. Flavour is moderately acidic, with citrus, some earth fungal notes, rustic saison yeast, and moderate funk. Carbonation is fittingly high, finishing rustic and citric. Unique and wonderfully constructed.

Pale, tart, big smoke nose, peat? Actually cherrywood, well balanced, good brett, too.

Dark brown, dark fruits and big rich malts, slight tartness. Not bad for a dark beer with sourish thoughts.

375mL batch 2 bottle, drunk 11/21/25, as pictured.
Smells fantastic as I'm pouring. Just dripping with rich, lovely, authentic, Dupont-like Sacch and gentle oak. Rustic grain with a healthy dose of honey and cracker-like character. Pear, apple, black pepper, with none of the unwanted stuff whatsoever (banana, clove, white pepper, bubble gum).
Flavor mimics the excellent nose nicely. Gentle but ample acidity balancing a chewy, wheat-like texture with good malt depth and attenuation. Complex, balanced, flavorful, Belgian saison that doesn't go overboard on the mixed culture or oak.

16 oz. can, pours a cloudy golden with a large white foamy head. Aroma is vibrant, with fresh floral hops, rustic farmhouse notes, and light citrus. Flavour follows accordingly, with bright citrusy hops, farmhouse notes, and a touch of tartness. Great blend of critters, well-hopped; this is great.

Smokey nose, smoked meats mid, light finish and body.
Somehow I've never had this from fair isle? It's incredibly delicious. Soft white peaches for days. It'd be better with palisade peaches 😏 but these are great too. Like semi tart peach rings, effervescent and sweet.

375mL bottle, pours a hazy golden with a medium white head. Aroma has plenty of neutral oak barrels, rustic farmhouse yeast, and dry toasted grains. Flavour is much the same, with plenty of oak barrels, farmhouse bugginess, and dry toasted grains. Very oaky, dry finish. Excellent.
Super funky nose, delicious Brett and dank notes, wtf this is 3% abv?! So much flavor! Rosé barrel aged is on point! Peak drink ability, hint of tartness, all day drinking vibes.
