The Citra Saison is Brew By Numbers' modern interpretation of a Belgian farmhouse classic. The hops balance the yeast character while a light spicing adds complexity.

Brew by Numbers 01/01 Saison Citra 5.5% I got this as I loved the minimal looking label and served it in my Hoeggarden tumbler where it poured an opaque golden honey with a foamey white head. The nose is fairly classic belgian funk with the added element of citra hop dankness. Pretty nice. Soft mouthfeel on a medium body which is reflected in the wheaty flavor as well that is followed by orange blossoms, ripe peach & some floral-fruity elements. Quite surprising but I dig it.

(Draught at Bishop’s Arms Folkungagatan, Stockholm, 20 Sep 2014) Pale yellow colour with frothy, white head. Malty, fruity nose with biscuits, bread, citrus, grass and a touch of elderflower. Malty, fruity taste with notes of bread, peaches, citrus, grass and a generous earthy/spicy bitterness in the finish. Medium body, quite dry. Fresh, tasty and highly drinkable. Very nice.

Bottle from Systembolaget. Pours hazy golden with a big white head. Not too hoppy as I anticipated yet rather thin and bitter with just a hint of saison qualities

Flaska från SB. Ännu en citrasaison, det går verkligen 13 på dussinet denna höst. Frisk, fräsch citrusdoft, lite vetemjöl, kryddor och saisonjäst i bakgrunden. Frisk, krispig, lätt syrlig och fullpackad med gul citrus med lite diskreta kryddor i bakgrunden. Fin ren citrusbeska. Riktigt bra.

Flaska från SB. Smak och doft av humle, malt, jäst, tropisk frukt, korn, citrus och örter. Lätt kropp, torr, lagom sötma, fin beska.

Bottle from bottle-shop.eu. Hazy golden colour, white foam. Too much carbonation. Aroma of lemon and orange, straw. Harsh bitterness. Not very well balanced. Maybe too old? (bottle was one year old).
