Clear golden coloured body with a thick white head, about three centimetres tall. Aroma of grass, light yeast, a touch of small spices and a hint of citrus and dry hay. Light-bodied; Strong grassy and dry fresh hop flavours with a dose of lemons and coriander seed along with a bit of spices noticeable right afterwards. Aftertaste shows more of the dry malt along with some grassy hop bitterness, a touch of citrus, lemons and yeast. Overall, a good saison, especially in the heat and over here in the East - much better than expected, with the hops really coming out, while the grass and hay stay dry. I sampled this 33 cL can purchased from 7-11 in the Shida Night Market in Taipei, Taiwan on 26-July-2017 for NT$45 sampled a few minutes later on 26-July-2017 while walking the streets of Taipei, Taiwan.

Can. Golden, thin head. Nose is a bit plasticy, but the palate is cleaner. Its still got a touch of phenol, but otherwise just a sweetish malt taste, light bitterness. Ok, if you think of it more like a pale lager.

I guess they were too busy to craft it properly.

Pours clear golden yellow, first a huge head but after a minute its gone. Biscuits and just a slight Belgian yeast spice in the nose. Taste resembles saison, yeast character there, albeit quite muted. Some background bitterness covering my throat. Well, surprisingly not bad, nothing special either (of course) but its not terrible and sort of resembles a saison. A bit watered down and too smooth but still saison.
