Can from de Caigny. Slight hazy dark golden color, big rocky head. Aroma of spicy saffran, soapy, some toasted malts. Cant get any citra hops, but perhaps they are faded because of age? Nevertheless, they cant have been very present, as you would always be able to still notice some hop aroma. Soft bitterness in taste, spicy saffran, sweet candy and caramel. Mediocre brew.

0.33 l bottle, shared with Višnja 666 and Pilot Goran. Thanks. Hazy golden, small off-white head. Light hoppy, spicy, grassy, a bit lost. Some citrus notes emerge. Also malts. Hop bitterness very low. Some acidity. Light body

Bottle shared at a tasting at kerenmk's place. Thanks David K. for this bottle! Cloudy orange with a white head. Fruity hops, saffron, cardamom, sweetish malt, very bitter finish. Interesting. Decent.

Tap at Mafiaoza’s. Pours an amber with a finger of white foam that lingers. Big floral nose; saffron, lavender and lemon. Grassy and herbal nose. Flower petals, rose. Bitter finish. Twigs. Some nutmeg and cinnamon character as well. Spice bomb with some bitterness. --- Beer merged from original tick of Mantra Saffron IPA on 26 Aug 2017 at 00:28 - Score: 6.

Thank you kraddel & tderoeck! Sampled draft @ VCBF 2017. Interesting idea. Pale golden, little white. Nose is floral, zest, saffron indeed. Taste is mellow oddly dull bit sweet, I assume that the cardamom lends it its sweetness, floral, perfume, weird floral saffron. Promising smell but taste didn’t fully work. Body is basic oily perfume & saffron.

Clear orange beer, creamy white head, unstable, bit adhesive. Aroma: fruity smell, orange peel, apricot and peach, pleasant fruit perfume. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: pretty bitter, some orange peel, little bitter. Aftertaste: hoppy, citrus, orange peel, some tropical fruits. Didn't get much saffron?
