Bottle from the brewery. Bright gold, clear, with a low head. Nose of honey, grain, lemons, spicy yeast. Crisp, spicy, bitter flavor. Citrus and honey, earthy. Summer refreshment but slightly too bitter for my tastes. Still good.

Sudden sunshine and heat so time for one of the summer beers I’ve got on hand! Shiga Kogen Summer Saison 5.5% Nice gold with a thick head of foam and white pepper saison aroma. The taste initially starts the same but ends very bitter with an almost metallic earthy bitter element and eggy sulfur. It’s ok but I found that finish rough, in the heat it still disappeared fast.
