Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up at Clapton Craft I believe. Pours lightly hazed deep orange-russet with a frothy, off-white head. Has some lightly toasted grains, burnt honey, earthy and leafy hops, bread, a suggestions of caramel. Medium bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Fairly sweet finish, some brown bread, candied sugar, mellow yeast, more grains, soft grassy bitterness. Interesting overall.

(Draught at Mother Kelly's, Bethnal Green, London, 23 Nov 2018) Hazy yellow colour with foamy, white head. Fruity, sourish nose with lemon, grapefruit, oak wood and herbs. Fruity, tart taste with notes of citrus, lemon, grapefruit, herbs, grass, oak wood, yeast and a tart finish with low bitterness. Medium body, quite dry. Fairly tart and woody, but interesting and quite tasty. Nice one.

On tap at Hopstuff Taproom Ashford. Pale gold slight haze lasting white head. Saison yeast aroma. No real lager character more farmhouse. Some lemon curd flavour touch of funk. Some farmyard. I thought pretty good saison.

On tap at Hop Stuff Tap room Ashford. Hazy cloudy pale gold colour lasting white head. Hoppy wit bier aroma. Some citrus some earthiness in the mouth. Light banana peach aroma. Actually it grew on me. More an ipa than a wit. Still a bit earthy on the banana.
