750 ml bottle from Rad Beer. A pear saison. Pours hazed gold with white foam. Prominently dry, bright, spritzy. Quite mild, subtle flavours, low funk. Nice enough.

On tap at The Rake, pours a dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma has plenty of aged oak (sort of biere de garde-like), wild yeast, and some tannins. Flavour is oaky, with plenty of aged oak character, tannins, and bready malt. Nicely balanced, with an unusual oaky and wild character. Very good.

Keg at Brewdog Reading. Pours almost clear chestnut amber with a beige cap. Aroma: malty, caramel, light Belgian yeast tones, smky hints. Taste: Light to moderate sweet & moderate bitter, slightly funky & spicy, some tartness, light esters, somewhat boozy. Medium body with fine carbonation. Not your average ESB but no surprise given the collaborators. Enjoyed it

Keg pint. Pours a relatively clear gold, good white head. Aroma of doughy lager malt. Flavour profile is of a doughy sweet lager, bready with a pleasant, balanced character, excellent drinkability, with a gentle bitter close. Really great pilsner.

Keg. Pours a hazed blonde with a voluptuous bubble bath foam head. Aroma from the off is floral belgian yeast, continuing to taste. Fantastic vibrant Belgian blonde character, balanced sweetness, floral, just an excellent example of the style.

440ml can from a deli in Llangollen. Pours a russet brown, off-white head of foam atop. Aroma is leafy, autumnal malt. Taste builds on this with a woody leafy malt character with biscuity elements, second sip affirms a really satisfying malt presence with a good balanced bitterness. Really good brown bitter this.
