Può essere considerata un’evoluzione della normale Zest, ottima
Saison/Specialty Ale dal profilo aromatico tendente agli agrumi,
pompelmo soprattutto, e un finale speziato rinfrescante.
In bocca è molto secca ma con un alcool ben presente che
ammorbidisce la bevuta.
Il finale ha un amaro gradevole e prolungato che invita a nuovi sorsi

Keg at Craft Clerko thanks to Cloin. It pours hazy gold with a small white head. The nose is soft, fresh, limey, gooseberry, grapefruit, juicy orange and brioche. The taste is bitter, rather boozy, zesty, juicy, plenty of citrus rind, spicy notes, cracker, cereal and gooseberry with a dry finish. Medium+ body and fine carbonation. Decent, but I found this a bit rough around the edges tbo.

Keg at the craft beer co. Thanks to Colin. Really nice juicy, lemon serbert, juicy orange, midget gems, little saison yeast. Really juicy on the nose. Translucent golden orange coloured pour with a small white head. Flavour is really juicy orange and lemons, saison, sweet, straw. Pretty clean and super juicy. Palate is semi sweet, moderate high carbonation. Good stuff.

Craft Clerkenwell. Keg. Lightly hazy pale gold beer, small white head. Palate is light and semi dry, mild fine carbonation. Mild floral bitterness. Some nettley spice. Mild citrus. Modestly bitter light finish. You can tell it’s the big brother. Everything is the same but amped up.

Cloudy blond color with generous head. True to its name, the aroma is truly zesty; notes of tropical fruit, calamansi, but also spices (pink pepper, mace) and herbs (peppermint); a vortex of feelings. Good body strength, the mouthfeel is lean, hence very drinkable; delicate malts leave the stage to a citrusy/zesty hopping and pungent yeast spices, with a piquant final.
Intriguing, excellent creation.
