Enjoyed at the brewery on my first visit. This one on tap was with nitro. Pours a dark brown, almost black with copper highlights, a nitro creamy light-beige head, good retention and full ring lacing. Roasted malt aromas with hints of caramel malt base. Smooth mouthfeel, and on the light side. Flavours of roasted malts with very mild yeast and slight coffee notes. An easy-drinking session stout.

Enjoyed on tap on my first visit. Hazy light golden colour with a small white cap, average retention and some decent streaky lacing. Beautiful mild sour aromas with lots of fruity notes. Smooth mouthfeel with a little tart. Flavours are a nice balance between the sourness and fruity malts. Very nice and mild for a 6.5% ABV brew.

Bottle from the brewery on my first visit. Pours a light hazy golden colour with a white cap that has average retention and a little lace. Rich, sweet nose with oranges, mild caramel, some banana notes and spicy grass hops. The pilsner touch does come out with time. The taste is strong, but not sweet and rich overpowering. The hops balance the malts. Banana again from the wheat with a nice dry finish. The grassiness is different in here, but it is not bad. Gets hazier at last pour. Spiciness, black pepper. Nice, but one is enough... for now. Interesting mix of Saison with Pils edge.
