On tap at Spark, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of lacto, soft pillow wheat, and a touch of citrus. Flavour is nicely tart, with lots of bright citrus, plenty of lacto, and some mineraly notes. Bright, tart and yogurty. Good stuff.

On tap at Spark, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out estery notes and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is somewhat floral, with rustic saison yeast and a hit of estery character. Not the best expression of the yeast but it's decent.
