Keg at Hop Locker - London. Pours clear orange with a small, creamy white head. The nose has some Belgian yeast, wheat, a little apple and lemon. Medium sweet flavour with more wheat bread, some further yeast, golden raisins, low bitterness, lightly tangy citrus. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Decent balance in the finish, further citrusy notes, wheat flames, lemon, hay. Fun.

Keg at BrewDog Leicester. Light yellow/golden, hazy with a ring of white head. Light aroma of icing sugar, cooking herbs, strawberries... odd. Tastes sweet at first, but the spicy heat isn't long in coming. It's intense but never overpowering, more peppercorn than chili pepper. Still l warming on the lips well after the sip is gone. Medium to heavy carbonation. I liked this but wouldn't drink it all night.

Taste comprises toasted grains, light yeast esters, tomato rinse, red pepper, light chilli heat, citric peel, damp hay. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Ok spicy saison ... just about gets across what it says on the tin!
