This has not really been brewed as a traditional Saison, it has extra malt (more alcohol) and a fabulous loading of Nelson Sauvin hops. It pours a hazy (bottle conditioned) darkish amber colour with a healthy head. The head has a true "Saison" character with loads of little champagne like bubbles. I think these have been helped along by the traditional French Saison yeast and a bit of bottle conditioning.
This beer has an enticing Nelson Sauvin hop aroma with a hint of funky yeast and a lovely hop flavour. Refreshing and quite easy to drink, I would not guess this had a 7% alcohol content.
