Bottle shared at Herr Schmitt’s gaff. Thanks Paul. Clouded pineapple juice looking pour with a lasting white head. Aroma is nice earthy saison esters with nice horse funk. Flavour is nice fruits pineapple, tangy orange and earthy spicey saison yeast. Solid bitterness lingers. Effervescent palate wheaty grainy. Good stuff.

Bottle shared at Garbage Night II - London. Thanks to Paul for this one. Mild gusher! Pours murky yellow-gold with a huge, billowing white head. Sugary pale bread in the aroma, some dough, esters, bubblegum. Medium sweet flavor with prominent Belgian yeast character, sugary dough, slight lemony notes, faint bitter straw. Medium bodied with lively, massaging carbonation. Sweet finish with minimal alcohol presence, some perfume, florals, faint grass, more doughy malts. Not bad at all.

Bottle from Glug, Newcastle. Gusher! It pours hazy golden-orange with a thick white head. The nose is doughy, fruity, orange, tangerine, sherbet, orange squash and light urine. The taste is doughy, crisp, orange squash, icing sugar, grapefruit, light booze, sherbet, hay and light bitterness with a dry finish. Medium body and high carbonation. Carb is a bit high, but it’s pretty nice anyhow.

On cask at SIBA BeerX - Rich reddy brown body, thick lacing white head. Nose is a fruity aroma like a fruit salad sweet... only stronger and a bit more savoury. Taste is a grape led experience with blackcurrants and more tropical fruit coming through. Smooth full body, lasting finish. Decent enough.

500ml bottle shared with jeevan and the Mrs. A problem shared is a problem thirded, in this case. Although, to be honest, it wasn’t that bad, just a poor 80/ imitation with some chilli heat. Didn’t find it lingering too much myself.
