Bottle. Pours a light straw with a pinkish tint. Smallish head with no real lacing. Plenty of pears on the nose. Some acidity and spice. Blueberries also seem to come through as it warms a little as does some yeast character. Nice stuff. Flavours are initially quite sweet. Acidic woddy finish. Medium mouthfeel. Reallt good stuff.

On tap. Great beer. Aromas of citrus, coriander, cinnamon, and apple. Taste is sweet and sour, and lasts long. Palate is velvety, with a thin-to-medium body. Yellow, with a frothy head.

Apparently this is brewed with elderflowers and blueberries. Bottle. Cloudy amber with a rapidly fading white head. Aroma is floral and yeasty with pears and cloves. There’s light dough and a little funk. Quite tart and spicy before light fruity sweetness with pears and just a hint of berries. Zesty and spicy drying finish with white pepper and cloves. Some hints of blueberry skin there too. Very refreshing brew where the additions are slight accents to the normal saison. Only adding it as a fruit beer because that seems to be the done thing.
