5.6/10 β€” Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 5.5
Relatively clear pale golden coloured body with a thinnish, single centimetre tall pure white head. Aroma of grass, hay, lemons and a touch of wheat with some coriander seed added. Light-bodied; Sharp honey flavours dominate with some mild sweetness, but then fade to a lemony and slightly citrusey flavour without much backbone at all - some light wheat and biscuity/grainy malt noticeable a few seconds later. Aftertaste shows the grassy and very herbal component with a touch of hay and yeast, but more of the pure citrus and honey that goes down thin and relatively unencumbered. Overall, a decent beer that shows more of a cream ale or a golden ale than a saison at all, given the grassy and dry flavours are fairly minimal in comparison to the larger malt, citrus and honey flavours. Good to try, but not a good representation of the style by any means, and not worth searching out, of course. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Whaler's General Store from Kuhio [at Lewers] in Waikiki, Honolulu, O'ahu, Hawai'i on 27-December-2018 for US$2,49 sampled in my hotel room just a few hours later here on Waikiki, Honolulu.

Pale gold with slight haze topped by a white head. Nice fresh citrus, some yeast, toasted malt, a bit sweet in the finish. Medium bodied. Refreshing.
