Saison

Old rating:
Frisk lukt med preg av malt, humle, lyng, blomster, høy og litt sitrus. Sødmerik frisk smak med preg av malt, humle, høy, blomster og sitrus. Middels bitterhet som set ei stund. God.

On tap at Håndverkerstuene. It’s a hazy, orange beer, with a big, off-white head sitting on top. It’s hoppy on the nose, some sugary notes and hints of spices, as well as some sour hints. Some orange and a little touch of white sugar in the mouth, clever use of hops gives a good bitterness and citrus and pine cones. Full-bodied and sweetish, pleasantly carbonated. The finish is mostly bitter. A beer that is slightly more on the sweet side than I like it to be, but nice anyway. 100820

On tap at Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Cloudy brownish golden colour, moderate white head. Very nice aroma of spicy and fruity Belgian saison yeast, sweetish malts and fruity hops. The flavour is moderately sweet with fruity and spicy notes, and with a distinct hoppy bitterness in the finish. A bitter "bite" remains throughout the long aftertaste.

On tap @ Håndverkstuene. Hazy orange with a small off-white head. Nice aroma of citric fruit, yeast, spices and hint of malt. Flavor is light malty, citric fruity, spicy and well-balanced bitter. Body is just right for the style and the finish is long, fruity and moderate bitter. So easy to drink, still lots of flavors, lovely.

Medium white head. Hazy deep yellow body. Spicy fruity floral aroma with mealy earthy notes. Sweet-dryish peppery mealy fruity citric taste with wooden notes. Mid-bodied. Mealy astringent mouthfeel. Dry floral herbal mealy aftertaste with fruity notes. Highly sessionable, and very clean and fresh. (0.33l draft at Haandverkerstuene, Oslo.)
