Keg at the brewery. Lightly hazed yellow colour with a lasting thick white head. A big floral hit overlays a honey base, with a growing grape stickiness coming through (apparently Nelson Sauvin is the main hop used). There's a kick of black pepper and a mild dusty bitterness in the finish, but the lovely fresh florals persist. Loving the flowers in this! An excellent if atypical saison; I thoroughly enjoyed this.

Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 5.5
Keg at the brewery. Deep gold with a thin white head and a middling fizz. A little white bread and a little grass. Ultra crisp and clean and refreshing - not particularly Vienna-like, but an ideal drink after the steep climb to the brewery from my house. Unfortunately there was a very faint but lasting hint of sulphur and boiled cabbage in the aftertaste which knocked quite a few marks off my score - a shame as this would have been a great lager without that.
