Bottle. Pale amber color. Lemongrass and juniper in the herbal, spicy aroma. Herbal citric spicy flavor. Thinnish but dry. Pleasant.

Bottle @ home. Hazy orange color, average sized off-white head. Smell and taste malts, smoke, lightly berries, lightly sweet. Average to decent body and carbonation. Meh, not my kind of beer I guess.

330ml bottle, from trade with RW80, Many thanks. Pours gold with a light haze, thin white head. Aroma is floral with faint smoke and some juniper. Taste presents a real mixed bag of treats... lemongrass, juniper, smoked malt are all contributing to the flavour medley and remarkably it actually seems to work. Lemongrass and juniper shine while thankfully smoked malt is kept at bay. Other elements of ginger, lime, chamomile and floral meadow attempt to get a look-in, but it’s really all about the lemongrass and juniper. Great beer.

0.33 l bottle from ’Sterk Avondverkoop’, best before May 2016. Minimally hazy, golden amber with a thin, fluffy, rather quickly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, fruity-spicy, slightly floral, soapy aroma of peach, sage, chamomile and lemon balm. Sweetish, fruity-spicy, slightly floral and soapy taste of peach, thyme honey, sage, lemon balm, juniper and some clove, followed by a short, slightly bitter, spicy-soapy and quite dry finish. Medium body, slightly spritzy and moderately effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. No smoke detectable at all, but lots of juniper. Very interesting at least, I like it a lot actually.

Bottle from Barrique Odijk, BB May 2016, large sample. Hazy orange to amber color, short dying head. Aroma is spicy, lots of lemon grass, hay, slight caramelly note. Soft sweet, bit dry, hint of vanilla sweetness. And of course lemon grass. Feels a bit like bitter lemon soda now. Lemon grass isnt just a twist here, it overwhelms a bit. But it probably fits my lemongrass food, which I happened to be making.

33cl Bottle from De Bierkoning. Hazy, almost opaque orange colour, off-white head. Aroma of lots of lemongrass and juniper, almost like sniffing a soap bar, floral and herbal. No trace of smoke. Flavour is medium sweet, light soapy, lemongrass, juniper, juicy but dry as well, floral, decent herbal bitter finish, citrus. Light bodied, smooth. Nicely spiced saison imho. Didn’t get any smoke.
