Commercial Description:
A homage to traditional European beers brewed for quenching the thirst of farm workers of "Saisonaires." A unique Belgian Saison yeast is used to impart a mixture of spice, fruity and earthy notes along with a lip smacking palatability.

An orange beer with a beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with light notes of fruit - especially oranges. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel and quite a lot of fruit, leading to a dry bitter end. Compared to the French farmhouse ales and Belgian Saisons, this is a very clean beer.

Cask@GBBF2009. Hazy orange colour, small white head. Aroma is fruity and flowery notes along with some mildly earthy notes. Mild barnyard as well. Flavour is quite much the same, but lacks some spicyness to be a really good Saison.

(22oz bottle) Hazy amber body topped by an off-white head. Aroma is moderately sweet, orange/floral, some caramel, light yeast/duskiness. Taste is moderately sweet, orange/floral, some syrup, sugar, light alcohol. Watery light-medium body, some chalk, low carbonation. I found it too sweet and not dry enough.

Cask Stillage at the GBBF, Earl’s Court 05/08/2009 Banana fruit aroma. Golden coloured and a little hazy in appearance. Smooth on the palate and fruity with a crisp and bitter lasting finish.

At GBBF 2009. Hazy orange gold colour, thin lasting white head. Bit estery/Belgian saisony. Not a bad stab as a Belgian strong. Pretty good to be honest. NIce rose petal fruit.

Cask@GBBF 2009. Amber color, white head. Slightly tart mango fruity aroma with hints of orange and strawberry. Sweetish, lots of kandisugar, light tartness, mango and apricot. Short fruity-sugary finish. A bit too sweet for being enjoyable.
