Attaboy - need to see a report here mind, with a photo.

New old hoppy stuff from Morland, stuffed with chinook hops it's actually very good, citrusy aroma, full hoppy taste without being overpowering.

Picked up some saison from marston's craft arm, report later.

Saison beer, craft brewed by Marston's whatever that means and flogged in Tesco not that I go there. Dry hopped with Styrian and Lubelski hops and cold conditioned. Don't have much of a reference for saison but as a stand alone tasting it's pretty good. Pale golden in colour with a rapidly disappearing white head, not a busting lot of aroma, it's very dry, almost dry cider dry with a pleasant but not long lasting finish. Good effort mind and very drinkable.

I tried this hoppy saison thingy - light and quaffable. Not my normal gravitas style but hey ho!

Did he like it and is his opinion to be valued?

I've requested a full report with photos, then we'll see whether he can be taken seriously!

Beautiful and Strange, a collaboration between Brewfist and DeMo.

It's a Gose (a wild salted German style). The label says it has bergamot skin, Seville orange peel and salt. It's pretty salty, a bit sour, but I'm having to imagine the bergamot. It's like an alcoholic sports recovery drink.

I'm a lightweight reporter but it was quite nice

Don't know yet and no!
It was the Saison that you had and the Berliner Weisse that particularly appealed.

You may have to wait, the shop that sells it is in Hay on Wye and the Hay festival is about to start so I'll probably steer clear until it's over. I promise to prepare a full and thorough report with pictures in due course though.

FWIW, if you like light, hoppy, tasty and pungent then it hits the spot. Definitely a summer or a full central heating ale!

I do. I like Hoegaarden but as you say it's best kept for the summer.

Anyone come across this lot?

Looks like it should be good and a shop about half an hour away stocks it. Is it worth the drive to get some?

get me some of that Berliner Weisse please.
