Bottle from Cotteridge Wines; clear amber pour with a frothy white head, aroma has some fresh pine and tangerine, taste is malty with a little hop action, the taste doesn’t live up to the aroma, sweet malts, light bitter finish.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines; clear amber pour with a thin white head, biscuity malt aroma with a hint of fruit, taste has digestive biscuits, some spice, fruity hop action, light bitterness, lacks a bit of conditioning, but ok.

Bottle. Mitchell’s Wines, Sheffield. Clear, dark cola brown. Thin, bubbly, lasting, pale tan head. Bit of cola on the nose, too. Light roast malts. Some cocoa. Not much in the way of a saison characteristic. Taste is light sweet. Pretty thin palate. Finishes a bit flabby sweet.

Old Fountain. Keg. Almost clear amber beer, thin pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry and crisp. Light dry malts, very mild caramel. Minerals and mild tangy marmalade. Little bitter floralness. Ripe fruits. Nice carbonated nip keeps it lively. Semi dry finish. Mild bitter linger.

Bottle. Mitchell’s Wines, Sheffield. Same branding as the 5% Rye PA. I dunno? Can’t say I’m too bothered, either. No condition. Murky. Overly sweet. No hop. Very little spice. Not good.

Keg at the Old Fountain - London. Pours clear gold with a creamy white head. Some damp grains in the nose, grass, ripening citrus. Light-medium sweet flavor with slight minerality, grain, orange rind, bread. Light bodied with average carbonation. Decent balance to finish, some lightly toasted pale malts, pine, citrus rind, more bready pale malts. Simple gear.
