Sample tulip.
The appearance was a semi-hazy pale yellow color with no head nor lacing.
The aroma sharpens some crisp bready Belgian sweet malts against a grassy sweet and lemony freshness. Sly white pepper, lemongrass, and sage blend in underneath.
The flavor leans slightly to the bitter grassy hops but lends a hand nicely to those bready malts as well. Dry semi-sweet to bitter grassy hoppy aftertaste running into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a great sessionability about it despite it being as dry as it is. Carbonation felt fine for what it is.
Overall, nice saison that I would have again.
