Light amber color. Light grapefruit nose. Light body, but grainy and not balanced. Light finish. Had after some real Saisons. This is nothing but bad imitation and moreover is not a saison. Not sure why they bothered.

Bottle: Poured a golden yellow color ale with a small bubbly white head with average retention. Aroma of sweet malt is pretty subdued with some subtle spices also being noticeable. Taste is a mix between some light pepper note and weak sweet malt. Body is definitely too thin and carbonation is not strong enough. Not bad overall but lacking a malt presence and probably more yeast character would have help this one.

5.2/10 Appearance 4 Aroma 4 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
Dull hazy amber with no head - really lacklustre appearance. The aroma is mainly caramel malt and very light spice almost entirely muted by dull overriding yeastiness. The peppercorns are assertive and make a spicy statement backed by a firm hop bitterness. The citrus adds a refreshing juiciness to the finish but this seems totally seperated from the malt-spice aspect. So not terribly cohesive. One of those step-in-the-right-direction brews that has the potential to be really cool with a few refinements.
