Bottle. Amber with a large white head that lasts well. Aroma of damp hay, lime, pepper, guava (although I might have guessed mango), coriander 7+. High carbonation. Some tropical fruit, peach and hay, but fairly dry with a dry spicy finish. Moderate funk lurks a little far in the background. Tried a taster of this on tap a while ago and the lime and stinky fruit were much more prominent - now the flavours seem more integrated and it’s not half as wacky as it sounds - tastes like a mildly funky saison with some minor distractions. Very dry and a bit astringent at the end, lots of coriander. Fruit comes out a little more as it warms.

Hazy gold with a large white head. Aroma is grainy with oranges, grass, mild tropical bubblegum notes. Light, spritz texture. Sweet and grainy with a crisp, moderately bitter grassy finish. Pleasant quaffer.

Bottle. Dark brown with an inch of tan head that lasts and laces well. Earthy and quite dry-seeming aroma of mocha, prunes, darkish sugars, pine twigs. Silky mouthfeel, lowish carbonation. Wouldn’t guess 10% - lacks a bit of depth and presence for something this strong. Sweet with molasses, lots of light-roasted coffee, not much fruit, quite bitter, unusual twiggy pine note. I like Baltic porter with lots of hops, but this is a tidge much - or maybe it’s just that it’s a new (to me) and distinctive hop.
