750 ml bottle. Slightly hazy, pale golden body with a creamy off-white head. The carbonation is intensively and small bobbled like champagne. Aroma is mild malty, citric fruity, hops and floral yeasty. Flavor is sweet and dry, light malty, a hint of honey, bread, flowers, acid fruit, yeast and more. It’s simply amazing how this beer can be this light and refreshing and at the same time so complex with so many flavor that I have problems to describe them. The body is light and refreshing with a big complexity. Alcohol is almost totally hidden. Fantastic.

Pours an extremely effervescent, cloudy pale gold, with a huge, frothy, well-sustained head - light yeast and mustiness in the aroma, with moderate pils malt character, spicy hops, white grapes, even a slight earthy funkiness to it - nice and tingly in the mouth - a little bit of honey sweetness at first, but this is mostly dry, and quite peppery/spicy, with a rather strong hop profile - pear, apple and melon rind through the middle - gets quite earthy/rustic near the end, with a very mild funkiness which I normally associate with higher quality euro-made saisons - in fact, aside from the strength, this is much like a saison - the pear character gets a lot stronger as it warms - the alcohol is present and warming, but never overpowering - this is an outstanding beer.
