Bottle split at Scopesters on melt day, picked up at the rew pube, 01/07/15. Murky orange amber with a decent light beige covering. Nose is yeasty, rotting banana, phenols, light varnish, wood, ripe fruit peel. Taste comprises yeast esters, vanilla, bitter orange, earthy, farmyard, light spice, peppery enclave. Medium + bodied, fine carbonation, suggestion of booze in the close. Ok if a little harsh in places but at least not the sweet mess this style can collapse into !

Bottle at Croydonia. It pours cloudy dirty gold with a medium white head. The nose is soft, doughy, brioche, pear, apple, melon, light spice, bread and apple pie. The taste is high alcohol boost up-front, spicy, doughy, peppercorn, pear, melon, minerals candy and icing sugar with a dry, warming finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. A touch rough around the edges. OK.

Keg at the Hops & Glory - London. Pours mostly clear amber-gold with a creamy, white head. The aroma holds slight toasted grains, yeast, apple, hay. Light sweet flavor with grainy malts, light husky bitterness, subtle farmy funk, berry skins. Light to medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with grainy bread sweetness, some dirty hay and husk, more berry skins, damp wood. Not bad overall.

On tap at Hops & Glory. Gold lasting white head. Saison yeast aroma and flavour. Some hop pines like dried hop flowers . OK. A little thin sweet. Not as good as the Saison dupont.
