The first sharing session beer with Sam D. Beautiful clarity to this one. Very tasty, but I sort of feel like this one didn’t quite know what it wanted to be. A bit more farmhouse funk and pepperiness are needed to put this over the top for me.

This has left me a little underwhelmed. I was hoping for more funkiness after 3 yrs in the bottle, and it just wasn't there. A pleasant enough beer to start the session but not up to the usual Smugglers Bay standard

Cody Mankelow is drinking a Smugglers Bay Hoppy Saison by McLeod's Brewery at Untappd at Home

Aged 1.5 years. 1 more in the cellar. These beers really mellow with age. They get smoother with less punch. The yeast profile develops with age. Great complex and smooth.

Very pleased to try a vintage keg of this. Lovely day at the G, catching up with lots of people. Nicely funky pineapple Brett notes combine with very fruity saison flavours
