Brewed as a classic saison, it features a light, quaffable body with a peppery + floral bouquet before finishing with a touch of bitterness and slight white wine notes from Nelson Sauvin hops.

Nagy, nem túl tartós hab, áttetsző, félbarna - rezes szín. Fűszeres, kissé fűves, enyhén gabonás illat. Fűszeres, komlós, fűves, enyhén gabonás íz. Közepesen testes, közepesen szénsavs, közepesen keserű. Nem rossz, de alig érezni a saisonos jegyeket.

Canned. Pours a slightly cloudy yellow amber. Floral notes, yeast, mild hops. Frankly pretty good

Can from Mr. Hop. Aroma is grapey Nelson hop, pale malt, peppery saison yeast, touch of gooseberries and boiled vegetable. Flavour is lightly sweet and bitter with a dry finish. Medium body. Ouch... Not what I hoped for, quite underwhelming.

Mine just says ghost transmutation but I know the whole ghost thing is a shit show. It's got Nelson at least. Clear amber pour with foamy, lasting head. Grapefruit and florals, a hint of bubblegum. A pretty solid saison. Bitter hay finish. Table lunch beer any day. Can from Brewshop Advent calendar.

Pint can from State Line, 8/24/22. Ghost 1185, 1183/3300. Slightly hazy amber, large off-white head, average retention. Aroma of bready malt, apricot, spice, stone fruit. Taste is apricot, peach, apple, citrus, bready malt. A tad bit thin. Lingering spice. Overall solid.

Can at home. Clear burnt gold and a fine head. Nose is yeasty and floral. Tatses pretty hoppy, florals, yeast, sourdough, minerals, little apricot and green grapes. Lively palate. Hit the spot

Tall US can from Suds & Soda. Pours a hazed yellow, large white head. Aroma presents a fresh summery saison. Taste has a modern saison sweetness bolstered by a welcome hop presence. Gentle creamy nuances. Drank listening to the plodding techy metal recommended on the can, which I'm not sure suits the beer but there you go.

Fluffy snowwhite head over (cold)hazed yellow beer. Lime, lunariam bit sweetish smelling but finish gives spices and fruity aromas. The same in flavours, if a bit demure. Would this be more 'explosive' in the mouth, it would be really great. Hints at vegetable frying oil, and citrus. Light body, very good carbonation, bit hopoilslick. More than passable! Thanks to Stef!
