Bright chiffon with fast-fading white head. 3.5
Husky lager grain, rubbery phenols, heavy floral perfume, some stewed pear esters, and corn (unfortunately.) 3.25
Buttery doughy malts, a zip of herb, some yellow apples, marigolds, and vague anise to end.
tingly linger.
Light, slight cling, crisp.
Styrian and Lubelski hops.
I got my hopes up for the range after the Revisionist Red; it seems that was premature. All the saison notes are in place, but in such clunky expressions - baby food esters, smoky phenols, herb oil hops - as too be actively unpleasant. All those floral notes seem to be the Lubelski hops, which have high farnesene oil content, so that's interesting, if nothing else. But this is one to avoid.

Served cold from 500ml bottle into pilsner mug.
A) Medium amber colour, very slight haze, a few big bubbles. Decent white persistent head.
S) Definite whack of Belgian yeast, clove notes. Appealing to say it is cold.
T) Lightish Belgian yeast flavour that dissipates quickly in the mouth, which marks this UK supermarket beer as being inferior to the real Belgian deal. Light clove flavour.
M) Quite fizzy and refreshing.
O) A decent representation of the style for a UK supermarket beer in a 500ml bottle. I would like to see an alternative version at a higher quality at the same price in a smaller bottle, or a more expensive higher quality version in a 500ml bottle.
No serious beer drinker will expect this to be as good as the Belgian versions. Can't grumble at the price and I might buy it again.

Straw coloured body with big foamy white head that isn't going to last
No real aroma, this is how I Imagine trying to get the smell of something like Stella with slight and I mean really subtle pear drops
Okay taste
the saison and farmhouse and continental hops are there
but like a lot of the revisionist line is watered down
in the Saison case it is like its been diluted with cheap macro fake pils rather than mineral water but there is a random Marzipan aftertaste
so even though it's far from a good Saison
bearing in mind the rest of the line it could be a whole lot worse
