COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask and bottle conditioned; Special
A brew that celebrates the best of summer and has a robust flavour to match. Huge green hop additions of East Kent Goldings, fresh from Syndale hop gardens, give a powerful punch of the true flavours and aromas of the summer season. Belgian saison yeast adds earthy sweetness and toffied-banana to give some complexity and poise, finished with a high bitterness from all of those lovely hops. Heed this; this is our biggest, hoppiest beer of the summer, consider this a warning.

Theydon_Bois (2957) - The ’Sham, Surrey, ENGLAND - JAN 1, 2013

Bottle at ChrisO tasting, thanks to Ian, 30/12/12. Hazed light golden with a thin white film and frothy white bubbles at the extremeties. Nose is farmy, soured fruits, grass, spice, touch of apricot and orange, quite acrid - great ! Taste follows, bitter and soured fruits, apple, apricots, orange, grassy, farmy, funky. Medium in body with soft carbonation lending towards a bitter dry finish. A most decent saison, probably the best I recall drinking from a UK brewer !
