Bottle shared by Jim, thanks! Pours a hazy peach with a hint of redness. and a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a decent amount of cranberries with a musty Belgian yeast and a grain backbone. Flavor has more of a floral note with some underlying sweet grains and a hint of cranberry.

Cask @ gbbf, medium sample. Cloudy yellow color, short head. Aroma of spicy yeast, pepper, slight fruity. Bit dry, bit sweet. Shame it is cask as this beer needs carbonation. Good job camra ...

Cask gravity at Gbbf 2013. Hazy gold Belgian yeast aroma. Lacked a bit of carbonation. It’s got some Belgian yeast. Ok. Bit dullish finish.

Cask at gbbf 2013. Cloudy golden with a small white loose head. Aroma is plasticy phenols small amount of orange. I would guess that this is not a saison yeast strain. Flavour is bready orange. Cask does not suit this beer.

Pours hazy mahogany into an English pint. Soapy head with medium retention recedes leaving spot lacing. Caramel aromas. Flat and sour with butterscotch and hot rum soaked prunes. Blech.

Bottle from Batch 007. Pours with a lightly hazy pale hued body with massive carbonation, a large foamy white head with good retention. Great lace. Aromas are of pear, mild stone fruit, plums, dried leather, dry, grainy, low spice, some phenols, herbal saaz, lightly grassy. Refined and not too in your face. A bit of a carbonic bite. Flavors are of co2, mild grassy and herbal saaz, very dry, light malt character, medium low bitter but with a dry and lightly bitter balance. Very attenuated and highly carbonated. Feels quite a bit hotter than the indicated 6.5%. Bitter finish. Seems like there is some sort of fermented out dextrose or inverted sugar here. Mild dry esters, medium strong phenols. Very highly carbonated (almost distractingly so), very dry, low body. Saison character is subtle compared to the new wave, highly touted American saisons that seem to be either dry hopped or bretted (I generally like those). This is closer to a classic interpretation. Good stuff.
