Slighty hazy orange blond beer, white head. Very hoppy aroma, light saison character. Fruity, citrus, apricot, quite floral. Light silage and farmyard, touch of spicy yeast. Bitter hoppy flavour on a sweet malty background. Light citrus, somewhat spicy. Rather bitter finish, very pleasant and dry.
(From 75cL bottle @ RBBWG 2012, Antwerpen. Thanks for sharing, Nicholas & Antoine!)

75 cl bottle @ RBBWG 2012, Antwerpen courtesy of Antoine. Couleur dorée présentant un léger trouble, col blanc épais. Arôme est fruité et herbacé sur un houblon bien fleuri et fruité ajoutant une touche agréable à cette saison. En ouche, profile grains sur un palais restant sec et houblonné du Green Bullet qui ajoute également une pointe d’épice se mariant bien avec la levure. Amertume est modérée centrée plus vers le citron, en retrait l’ajout du motueka confère un fini sec rappelant le houblon Saaz qui prend bien avec ce style de bière. Une saison agréable qui profite du rajouts de deux houblons nouveaux pour ce style.

Cloudy beige to yellowish beer, small creamy white head, unstable, pretty adhesive. Aroma: fruity, flowery, some citrus, grapefruit, soapy but not in a bad way. MF: low to no carbon, light to medium body. Taste: bitter hoppy start, soft citrus, sweet touch, roses or other flowers, honey. Aftertaste: pretty bitter ending, bit cheesy, dry flowery finish.
