0.375l bottle. Almost totally clear golden body with a white head. Aroma of lemon zest, hay, lemon juice, bit of vinegar. Taste of hay, lemon zest, salt and lemon juice. Saltier and more sour than the average saison. Great one.

Draught at Alibi Room, Vancouver
Hazy blond colour. The funky character is strong here, completed by some white wine, dry but not weak, with pleasant tannins in the finish.
Very good.
