On tap at GABS festival in Melbourne, May 2014.
Pours a golden colour with slow bead visible through the mild haze. Cream-coloured head, foamy. Decent.
Smells saisony, mostly. Touch of passionfruit on there but a lot of pine resin and wood, slight phenolic notes towards the back. Some lightness from hops. It's great, really.
Taste is dry, with a touch of hop fruitiness mostly upfront and midway. Pear, lime characters descending into more resinous and piney characters late, and a very Belgian phenolic finish. Quite barnyardy at times as well. Not bad at all.
Decent body, slightly bitty at times.
Pretty good beer; a bit heavy on the saison though and could use a bit more cut-through. It's an intriguing idea and with a bit of tweaking it could be a huge winner.

Tried on-tap at GABS in Melbourne. This is an IPA/Saison hybrid, so forgive the rather clinical categorisation into one style but not the other.
Pours a burnished golden colour with some hazing. Mid-weighted body gives it a little heft, perhaps what you'd expect for 6%. Head forms a fine ring of white film around the glass which doesn't leave much lace. Very fine carbonation. Looks pretty decent.
Nose is gritty with an earthiness underpinning everything. Some herbal hoppiness comes through marked with a peppery tone, possibly from the saison yeast. There's a slight medicinal quality that comes through too. It's interesting at the very least.
Light sharp entry on the palate, before that earthiness rumbles through. Spiky bitterness gives it more sharpness towards the back, while the yeast throws up random banana esters and Belgian yeast tones. Slight lingering peppery bitterness in the aftertaste. Feel is prickly and coarse.
Overall, I don't love it, but there's certainly some interesting things to see in it. It's interesting enough to make me want to check out Morrison's other beers at least.
