Very good. Rye and peppercorn give a nice little spicy finish.

On tap at Dead Craft Beer Co. Pours a clear pale gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma is very grass forward with pre-ripe fruit and a bit of grain underlying. Flavor has grass and light fruits with some light grains backing.

Keg at MKs SE1. It pours hazy amber with a small white head. The aroma is bready, bitter - sweet, spicy, fruity streak, watermelon, playdough, nougat. The taste is crisp, dry, bitter, peppery spice, earthy, wood, metallic tang from the high carbonation, very bready, touch of soapy citrus, green banana and earth with a dry and spiced finish. Medium body and moderate - high foamy carbonation. Decent enough Belgian number.

Keg at Mother Kelly's SE1. It pours hazy yellow - gold with a massive white head. The aroma is earthy, cereal, hay, nougat, grassy, warming spice, peppery, bread and rye crackers. The taste is crisp, dry, hit of tartness initially, white grape, maybe gooseberry, then it's very malty, bready, dough, cereal, hay, spice, earth and tonic water with a dry, bready finish. On the lighter end of medium with a high, foamy carbonation. Decent bready saison.

Mother Kelly's. Keg. Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth, pretty dry and has decent fine carbonation. Thin and sweetish malts. Floral sweetness. A kind of floral creamy sweetness I'm guessing is the meadowsweet and decent Williams pears. Trace of lemon keeps the sweetness in check. Smooth light finish. Wonder of wonders! A decent pear beer! Rocking horses do take a dump!

Bottle split with the Wingmane @MK BG, 26/09/17. Hazed orange amber with a decent off white cap. Nose is ripe orange, bubblegum, candied fruit peel, straw, light spice. Taste comprises orange peel, flicker of yeast, toasted bread, lemon drizzle, bitter citricī shreds, light white peppery spice. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with balanced hop bitterness. Ok Belgo IPA crossover ... definitely more of a Belgian leaning.
