Hazy yellow with little white head. Aroma is bubblegum, butter, grass. Taste is fresh fruit sourness, some bubblegum skrieking with a bitter pale note that prolongs into the finish. Not much body. Meh.

Bottle. Hazy straw-yellow color with white head. Aroma is grassy hops, the Melon hop comes through fresh yeast, some dough. Taste is some grassy hops and Melon, some dough, quite dry. Has that rustic quaffableness so many Saisons lack. Very nice!

Bottle shared at hotelroom tasting after Borefts Beer Festival Day 1. Hazy yellow color, small to average sized white head that diminishes quickly. Smell and taste malts, some melon influences in the aroma but not that much in the flavor, light tart in the flavor, some yeast. Dry finish. Decent body, firm carbonation. Ok beer.

0.33 l bottle from ’Mitra Van Bergen’, best before June 2017. Clear, golden yellow with a massive, dense and foamy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, fruity, floral and a bit grassy aroma of pineapple, peach, flowers and some fresh grass. Slightly bitter, grassy-fruity and floral taste of lemon peel, pineapple, peach, flowers and fresh grass, followed by a short, moderately bitter, quite grassy, a little sourish and a bit peppery-dry finish. Medium body, very effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. A bit too much foaming, other than that quite tasty!
