Given the Champagne bottle I was expecting a Saison style beer but it is something a little different. Aside from the golden colour, it pours like a Saison, a big fluffy light head and loads of beading in the glass. I think this is a result of the top fermentation with a Belgian yeast strain.
This ale was brewed with Hallertau Mittlefrueh, Spalt Spalter, Tettnang Tettnanger & Hersbrucker hops. It has been malted with a blend of two-row malted barley, malted spring white wheat, and malted oats.
The taste is more like a Belgian strong ale than a Saison with both the yeast and malts having a presence in the taste. Initially sweet to the taste but with a crisp to bitter finish.
The packaging screams "buy me I'm special" and I did quite enjoy it, something a little different well worth a taste.
