Looking at the O'Hara's site and details for the new saison.

They list the OG at 10.8 plato of 1.045
ABV is 4.4 so FG on this one is going to be around the 1.011 / 1.012 mark so not going to be a very dry saison. Still looking forward to trying it.

I had it in toast, Rathmines, on Friday.

I'd nearly see it as a stepping stone Saison. It's not unpleasant, but it isn't very dry & tastes a bit thin. Quite a bread-y taste of malt and probably something (especially bearing in mind the abv) that you could sup quite a few of on a sunny day

For seasoned Saison drinkers you're not likely to swap this for Saison DuPont or the like (or indeed one you might make yourself)

Managed to try Wicklow Brewing's Weiss and Red at Brooklodge at the weekend. Both decent enough first attempts. For gin connoisseurs- the pub was also serving Highbanks Pink Lady, a seriously nice gin with some great apple notes in its botanicals...

Munster Brewing has a new Irish red out: 12 Towers.

Wicklow Wolf has two new limited-edition beers: Falconer's Flight Blonde and Solar Eclipse Saison.

Galway Hooker 60 Knots IPA is out in bottles too.

Donegal Brewing has a Porter and a Mild on keg in Dicey's, Ballyshannon.

Wonder which year's FF. The original (non-7C) version was higher rated, and cost more.
