A collaboration brew with our friends at Lervig in Norway, this saison uses rooibos tea, lemon zest and Wai-Iti hops. The tea brings clean, aromatic berry notes, while the lemon zest makes a delicate, fruity bitter finish. A real ice-tea cooler of a saison.

Tap @ OIBF ’16 with Zlotta & Markoijelena. I didn’t realize this was with rooibos & lemon. Cloudy yellow color. White head with a thin layer retention. Aroma’s: resin, citrus, lemon-sourness. Retronasal it’s scitrus, lemon, moderate bitter. Flavor is rather bitter with some fruity sourness. Light bodied. Quite bitter finish. Nice.

Sampled from tap at the Oedipus International Beer Festival 2016. Slightly hazy, golden yellow with a white head. Sweetish, fruity-grassy aroma of lemon peel, pineapple and some rooibos. Slightly bitter, grassy-fruity taste of lemon peel, pineapple and some rooibos, followed by a short, slightly bitter, very dry finish. Thin to medium body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Nice!

Hazy gold beer, tidy cream colour head. Palate is smooth, fairly dry and has reasonable fine carbonation. Aromatic tea, floral and mildly perfumey, well blended with the mellow lemon. Trace of esters. Light finish. Characterful.

The spiced notes made this one a bit unbalanced and weird.
Looks good. Unclear yellow golde color with a fine thick off white head. Moderate intensity in the aroma. Medium body and a smooth carbonation. Mild acidity and a moderate sweetness. Yeast, spices, citric, fruity and grassy.
[Bottle from Ølgaarden in Fredrikstad, Norway]

Nice creamy mediumlasting head. Aroma is slightly dry spiced, weeds, yeast, hay, flowers, bark, grass, black tea, minerals, spices. Taste is slightly dry grassy, weeds, yeast, flowers, grass, bark, paper, minerals, black tea, hay, spices. Medium bitterness, slightly dry and mineraly mouthfeel. I love rooibos tea, but this just don’t work for me...

Bottle from BBNo. It pours hazy orange with a small white head. The aroma is unmistakeably of rooibus tea, floral, baked beans, rice pudding and orange peel. The taste is crisp, lemon, orange peel, kumquat, straw, floral, spice and baked beans with a dry finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Interesting and pretty drinkable. I would say that I am not a huge fan of Rooibos, but this is ok.

Hazy blond colour. Lots of rooibos in the aroma. Flavour is fresh and clean with tart lemon and a background perfume of rooibos. Nice.
