Pingaware (214) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - MAR 2, 2020UPDATED: MAR 2, 2020 33 cl bottle (BBD 2020-01-12), bought from Wild Beer's online store and drunk at home 2020-02-24.
Appearance is a hazy pale gold with a thick dense white head that disappears very quickly. Small amount of visible carbonation. Love the colour, wish the head had stuck around longer - looks a little forlorn without it.
Aroma is a lot fainter than I expected. There's a hint of gooseberry up front with banana ester hints behind it, but there really isn't much. Maybe hints of honey and grape too? Disappointing - I wanted lots of fruit coming through on the nose.
Taste is similarly underwhelming. A grape/gooseberry flavour up front followed by a little bit of a sour kick which fades to some elderflower notes quite quickly. All finished off with just a hint of banana esters on the finish. Needs more punch with either the fruit or the sour (or both!)
Palate is okay. Light-bodied, which actually plays well with the fruit, and nice and juicy followed by a creaminess from the yeast. Very little in mouth carbonation though and a too short finish.
Overall, this is very disappointing. Feels like it misses the mark - drinks much like a mediocre session saison rather than the fruity zingy saison promised.
FACambridge (1452) - Chelmsford, Essex, ENGLAND - FEB 14, 2020UPDATED: FEB 14, 2020 Aroma : Sour gooseberry...and wet dog! Taste : Sharp sour gooseberry punch with acidic citric bitter bite. If you like sour beers it might be for you. My days experimenting with sours are definitely over - Horrible!
dantomlinson (1454) - Blackburn, Lancashire, ENGLAND - JAN 31, 2020UPDATED: JAN 31, 2020 Clear yellow appearance. Aroma is grassy and citrus. Flavour is tart, grassy, citrus and hops.
