Tap a Big Love Records in Harajuku. Pale amber colour, not much head. Aroma is classic saison, fruity, bubblegum, bit herbal. Taste is slightly sweet, fruity again, bit tropical, some cherry, little bit of citrus at the end. Lingering strawberry and bubblegum aftertaste. Bit floral. Pretty nice. Nowhere near as sickly as I have made it sound.

pepper lemon and yuzu. Light, little hops and dry. It’s ok, but their other saisons are better

On draft at Craft Beer House Molto in Umeda. It was listed at Saison 8 so I guess this is their tweaked recipe. It poured a clear golded straw color with a nice head of foam which left behind good lacing. It had a citrusy, spicy flavor with a bit of funky/earthiness to it. A bit of a bitter aftertaste but overall I thought it was fairly well balanced and I could drink more of it. Worth trying.
