Crowmanz - Tas wild yeast saison
Crystal clear golden colour no head retention, bit of a funky nose, dry but has some apricot-ish sweetnes. 2nd pour got a bit of sediment in which brought some bready character and sherbert into play. I get the feeling this beer would really funk/sour up given...

Spicy malty thing. I'm struggling to put a name on the overall flavour other than it tastes like christmas and soap. Enjoyable nonetheless, hails!
I shared Parks' mango chilli saison yesterday with @rokaxe
It was a very clean delicious beer, the chilli was subtle, bit of ripe tasting fruit in there, and it still definitely tasted like a saison.
Also BribieG's tooths 1950's XXX
I echo Parks' comments. Lingering smooth bitterness and a slight clean honey sweetness. In the name of science I cracked a gold which has more of a grainy mouse piss aroma rather than clean sweet malt.
cheers gents!
I think next time I'll use less pepper and put it in secondary rather than the cube. I think the method I used resulted in less aroma and more flavour.
Randai - the malt bill:
3kg BB ale, 2kg wey wheat, 500g quick oats, & 150g caramunich (I think).
I'm not sure which caramunich...
I agree the simpler the better. I've been steering away from crystal/cara malts almost completely, and instead subbing a portion of the base malt with munich1 or 2.
The scheme is being run by Coke, CUB, Asahi, Coopers, & Lion, and seems designed to push craft breweries to the brink.
