Bright pink coloured body with a thinnish, pure white head that fades very quickly - perhaps after a second or two. Aroma of salt, brine, light grass, grapes, some oranges, a dash of pepper and a good amount of limes and citrus components. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and herbal notes at first that show some coriander seed freshness along with a dash of hibiscus and a touch of light caster sugar and a faint dash of pepper and light dry spices that make this feel somewhat of a saison. Aftertaste shows the fruity, dry and herbal notes with some light citrus and more assertive grassy and floral elements with the hibiscus really coming through. Overall, a pungent and dry, very funky beer that shows a lot of herbal, grassy and floral notes that make this hit more of a herb/spice beer than a saison, and even then, almost of a fruit beer as well. Very interesting, but sadly, the components and profile don't really connect with the beer or what they were attempting here. Not worth trying to find and not worth holding onto if you already have it! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Total Wine in Springfield, Virginia on 20-October-2019 for US$3,49 sampled at home in Washington on 26-January-2020.

12 ounce can thanks to hershiser2! 1/14/20. I like that I'm friends with 60% of the people that have rated this beer so far! Hazy orange, large frothy white head, good retention. Aroma of snappy, herbal hops. Pale malt. Taste is pale bready malt, herbal and grassy hops. Medium bodied, crisp, well balanced. Very nice.

Cask at GBBF 2019. Herbal nose with vanilla, chocolate, some veggies, seems like chilis but there are none. Pale black color. Sweet flavor of additives like vanilla, chocolate. Interesting but ultimately empty.

8/8/2019. Cask at the 2019 Great British Beer Festival. Pours black with a small beige head. Aroma of mild chocolate, light roasted malt, coffee, vanilla, cinnamon, light wood, dried fruits and a hint of bourbon. Medium sweetness with moderate bitterness. Medium body, slightly slick but watery texture, soft carbonation. Nice warming cinnamon and vanilla finish. Quite enjoyable.
