Clear amber, white head. Grassy grapefruit aroma. Taste is the same. Tropical fruit, citrus, sweet malts, some bitter hop which lingers into the aftertaste. It’s really rather nice.

Bottle at home picked up from London Bridge Oddbins. A hazed dark orange coloured pour with alasting sticky off white head. Aroma is vibrant tangy orange rind, tangerine, sticky citrus, caramel malts. A little whiff of alcohol on the nose as well. Flavour is composed of grainy malrts, raw caramel, grassy orange citrus, orange, alcohol bite, tangy. Palate is semi sweet, rounded, little sticky hop resin, highish carboantion. Warming alcohol in the finish. Good but slightly old school IPA.

Bottle - Light and sweetish malts. Smooth sweetish pine, modest skunk. Light citric peel. Touch of tropical fruits. Mild hop spice. Light dry crisp finish. Smooth piney linger. So great beer, cask and bottle. Brixton’s finest I think.

Bottle at home in London - picked up at the London Brewers’ Market (I think). Pours a mostly clear, bright gold with a voluminous white head. Pleasant, classic saison aroma with notes of flaked wheat, lemon peel, light Belgian yeast, straw. Light sweet flavour with nicely balanced dry wheat, further citrus accents, hay, faint grass, sourdough bread. Light bodied with lively carbonation. Nicely balanced in the finish, with further wheat, lemon peel, mild doughy notes, mellow bitterness. Overall this is an excellent, easy-drinking saison. You really don’t get any of the ’exotic’ ingredients, which is not necessarily a bad thing. Possibly the best beer I have had by Brixton. Great stuff.
