This is Saison du Bateau, a pretty straightforward take on the French / Belgian farmhouse style that's on fairly wide release, the other Gaston that you'll find elsewhere on the site. Du Bateau is a pale golden, slightly hazy affair that offers up an array of pilsner malt sweetness, some citrus aromas and plenty of spicy characters from the yeast – both of the peppery and clove varieties – before finishing with a prickly dryness. Or, as the brewery puts it: "A line and length saison".
