Love these saisons, so much citrus, soft and flavorful. Bit sour on this finish. Real nice honey notes.

Light, tart, dry. Citrus, orange blossom, a bit of yeasty funk. Nice and clean but a bit 2-dimensional.

Flaska från Side Project, blend 4. Blekguldig, klar med klar vit krona. Mycket citrus, citrusskal/vita, snällare i syra, snäll honungston, väl utjäst, vete, torr, lätt. Törstsläckande.

Bottle thanks to Peter! Pours clear golden, small white head, decent lacing. Aroma is nice, buggy, oak barrel, light vinous notes, lemon, hint of herbal note. Flavor is light tart, light funk, mineral and white wine notes. Lightish body. Quite nice. Certainly on par with what I would expect from say HF or SARA.
