Armsby draught, 8/24/24. Deeper/darker bronze with deep rose suggestions. Small, off-white head. Nose is mellow grape and lots of mineral and easygoing yeast character. Juicy, fruity grapes don't dominate, though the saison character is mild. Not acidic. In the mouth, it's similar to the nose, with an approachable, chewy-malty body that is quite dry, but not too much so. Fruity, juicy grapes add just enough acidity and the beer ends satisfyingly with ample body and low acidity.

Batch #14 Sept 2022. 750 ml bottle. Pours a thick hazy amber with moderate head. Aromas of creamy muddled fruit tending towards mashed apricots, cottony brett, mashed stoned fruit, and toasted malts. Flavors follow same though brett effects are much sharper; plus there is an additional tartness. Cannot detect the cedar.

Panda at home, thanks to SHIG, 19;08/24. Hazed orange topped with a just off white cap that thins to a swirl. Nose is mellow funk, herb, barnyard nip, orange peel, dusty straw. Taste comprises hay bale, lemon rind, mellow yeast esters, light spice, hedgerow, grains, modest funk. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Okay easy drinking saison .. can't argue with the flavour profile for the meagre ABV.

Tap at Hop Butcher. Doesn't get much more of a primo hop bill than this for 2024. Thick NZ tone, unfortunate kind of lactose/dextrose or sweet backdrop reminiscent of vile triple ipas. Good hops, not so great beer overall. Monstrous flavor.

473mL can, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma has a nice fresh grassy hop character, some straw, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is bitter, with lots of grassy bitterness, crisp biscuity malt, and straw. Very bitter finish in the most satisfying way. Very good.
