Sounds interesting - I think the single fruit might lack a bit of depth but the english yeast should roughen it up nicely. Always keen to be on the evaluation panel in 6 months time!

Looks awesome! How did you pulp the apples? Did you use a press as well?

[Stu H]

I've been drinking the Saison at the parrot & jigger on the guest tap.
Not a bad after work beer but I reckon it could do with more of this !

[Mike Neilson]

I should head down there and try it any good?

[jt]

I'm not a keen Saison drinker at the best of times, I'm really only drinking it so the keg finishes and something else pops up on the guest tap !
I've already put my vote in for another keg of the Tuatara APA myself . . .

Good hand pump beer.

[Mike Neilson]

410g in the boil should be enough right? 150g in the Dryhop? hahahaha, Might have to use the hand pump as the hops might clog my 6mm Id lines!! hahaha
