How is it tasting...?
Bit of a description would be nice, are the hops coming through, whats the bitterness like, do you get a good kick of alcohol? etc :)

Hi, yea there is a nice spicy orange flavour/aroma that is a mixof the yeast and hops, Styrian Goldings go so well with light coloured Belgians!

Its not as bitter as I though it would be but I will check again when it has conditioned for a bit, also there is a little bit of alcohol warmth but not that much.

But the interesting is it tastes of beer with a bigger final gravity but in a moreish way

Sounds really nice. The Americans seem to be unable to brew a saison without adding some kind of funk, is that something you;d be interested in?
