Draught @ Christianssand Brygghus, Kristiansand
Pours slightly hazy golden with a off-white head. Aroma has notes of malt, ginger, coriander, grass, citrus and hint of chili. Taste is light to medium sweet and light to medium bitter with a long grassy, chili, pepper and fruity finish. Body is medium, texture is thin to oily, carbonation is soft.

On tap at the brewpub. It’s a hazy one, golden in color and with a small, creamy, white head. The aroma has ginger, lemongrass, grass, some vegetable, not dms though, and a faint malty touch. After a while the chili can be detected, just needs to warm up a bit. There’s a little maltyness too, with fruityness and grass. Ginger and lemongrass, with the chili slowly attacking the palate. That is the best part actually. Not much saison-ish. Pleasant chili finish, although a bit sweet. Not a beer I could drink much of, perhaps it would go well with some bbq. 140519

On tap @ Christianssand Brygghus. Slightly unclear golden body with a medium sized, dense off-white head. Strong aroma of lemongrass, ginger, ripe fruit, pepper and spicy yeast. Flavor is sweet malt, ginger, lemongrass, green pepper and lots of hot chili, not much bitterness. Medium body and long aftertaste with hot chili and ginger. A bit difficult to rate as it’s not exactly in balance by any means, on the other side it gives me a good kick and it’s rather pleasant somehow. Feels nice an refreshing and I could have some more of this wondering what kind of food this might go well along with. I don’t know the answer, but the most important thing with this beer is that the flavor is distinct and hot without being extreme or too hot.
