Keg at Draft House, Paddington, London. A golden/orange coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Hoppy, citrus, caramel, tropical fruit aroma. Tastes hoppy, citrus, caramel, tropical fruit. Not a bad effort.

Draft at the brewery, 1/15/19. Soft, peachy-rose-golden. Good-sized, white head shows moderate retention.
Nice balance of base malt and cracker mixing with light citrus, bits of pineapple and soft, fruity esters of pear and apple. Touch of acidity on the end adds to the brightness and there's no alcohol or flaw noted.
More pale ale like than saison, with lightly juicy citrus complementing honey-like malts alongside tight carbonation and good attenuation. Clean, soft and crisp on the end with cracker and light hop acidity. Some very light mineral from the yeast but certainly could stand to have much more saison character, though otherwise the beer is clean, balanced and quite flavorful.

At a tasting, small bubbly head, hazy palish red color, aroma of acetone, feral, some citrus and berries behind and a hint of vinegar, flavor is a melange of red berries acetone and red wine vinegar, mellow sourness, light complimenting sweetness. Really nice and enjoyable.

Draft at the brewery, 1/15/19.
Mostly clear, dark auburn-amber. Beige head sits at light cover.
Crusty bread, orange peel and light vanilla-tea. Kinda odd, though not bad. Hey, no clove.
Strawberry toast with dry vanilla, black pepper and orange peel. Soft and malty, great attenuation and carbonation. A bit citrusy but clean and drinkable.

Draft at the brewery, 1/15/19.
Lightly hazy, brass-golden-blonde. White head quickly to ring.
Smells grassy and with a touch of pine. Lots of melon and biscuit here. Some light onion with lots of vegetal character. No alcohol or resin.
Soft and chewy in the mouth with plentiful biscuit and light white bread-like malts. No sweetness yet little bitterness. Grass, lemon and unripe melon. Not sure why anyone likes this hop but this rendition is wholly inoffensive. Light butter, grass, cream and hop acid linger.

Pours clear straw into a tulip. Bright white head with excellent retention recedes leaving spider lacing. Citrus, band aid and funk aromas. Medium bodied with sweet citrus and aspirin upfront tuning to band aid and marshmallow before the lasting earth finish.

375ml bottle. Red amber colour, white foam head and funky citrus rind aroma. Taste is sour, citric zest, grainy with barnyard funky notes and some woody oaky tannic bitterness. Slick mouthfeel, light to medium bodied, soft to medium carbonation, dry tart citric funky finish. Very drinkable

Draught at the brewery, 12/4/18.
Lightly hazy, slightly brassy-lemon-to-golden. White head atop is small but dense.
Soft and rich malts in the nose present honey with a light biscuit character behind it. Yellow fruits, light oak, some light-to-moderate tropical fruit-like Brett acidity and mild lactic acid all form a very easygoing, yet aromatic nose with plenty of softness and no heavy acidity or aggressive character. No alcohol or flaw.
In the mouth it's again soft and malty with a lactic, yogurt and citrus-rind heavy finish, yet still remaining in balance due to copious amounts of malt texture and moderate sweetness. Rich honey, white bread and biscuit never seem too sweet or thick, yet balance the lactic component nicely, while a plethora of yellow/tropical fruits dance about the palate. Light barrel tannin and very light oak with little other barrel character, low, tight carbonation and no alcohol or flaw.
