750ml bottle bought at La Cave a Bulles, tasted at Matt’s. Aroma and taste are slightly sweet, wine barrels, tropical fruits. Piney bitterness aftertaste. Very good balanced. Excellent.

750mL bottle, pours a hazy darker orange with a small white head. Aroma is very perfumey, with light vinous notes and faded floral hops. Flavour is along the same lines, with strange perfumey notes, faded floral hops and some barrels (though I'd never guess they are red wine barrels). Nothing offensive about this, but it's just very messy and confused. I never understand why IPAs are barrel aged.

330ml bottle from L’Abbaye Des Saveurs, Lille. Pours hazy blonde, good white head. Aroma is spicy, saison yeast. Taste is pleasant, summer, light spice, nice sweet saison yeast, some floral notes, smooth mouthfeel. Good saison, but being as it’s brewed in Belgium, I’m surprised it’s down as a Polish beer.

Bottle split at Cotts Convention 2, thanks to Ian, 05/03/16. Hazed golden orange with a decent off white head. Nose is yeast esters, lemon rind, straw, sharp citric notes, light wood must. Taste comprises pissoi, citric tinged straw, balsa wood, damp hay, light acidic tones, lemon rind, light funk layer. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Lacks depth of flavour for me.

Bottle split at Cotts Convention 2, thanks to Ian, 05/03/16. Clear golden with a moderate off white covering. Nose is yeast esters, lemon rind, whisper of cognac, fruit loaf. Taste comprises straw, earthy fruit peel, dates, caramel, more subtle cognac notes, yeasty tickle. Medium + body, fine carbonation, light warming alcohol in the close. Ok quad, the barrel is subtle, not particularly complex for the ABV but it sips along nicely enough without being too sweet or cloying.
