Can at the Travlr Tasting @Chriso, thanks to Gene, 30/09/15. Lightly hazed golden orange with a decent off white covering. Nose is pissy citric peel, lemon rind, straw, light spice, herbal qualities. Taste comprises lemon jus, floral notes, straw, hint of funk, farmy. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Ok saison if a touch overly floral.

Can shared at chriso’s. Pours mostly clear gold with a creamy cap. A little dough in the nose, lemon and lime peel. Light sweet flavor, some grassy bitterness, dry doughy biscuits, lots more citrus rind. Light bodiednwith average carbonation. Dry finish, more peel, rind, dough. Not bad on the whole.

Can courtesy of Summer Santa. Thank you Nimbleprop! Pours murky brunt yellow with a small frothy and fizzy goldenish white head that doesn’t leave much trace on the glass while dissipating. Smell I slightly fruity and slightly spicy phenolic with crackers, grapefruit juice, star fruit, moist grass, dry soil, white pepper corns, lemon grass and lemon zest. Taste is slightly bitter, tiny malty, slightly fruity and slightly spicy phenolic. Mouthfeel is soft, slightly dry, tiny astringent and medium bodied. Finish is slightly bitter with crackers, grapefruit juice, mango, moist grass, dry soil, minerals, dry pepper corns, allspice, orange peal and lemon zest. Nicely dry with solid balance between the hops, saison yeast and lemon zest. Highly drinkable and refreshing. Solid saison experience. --- Beer merged from original tick of Citra Lemon Saison on 23 Aug 2015 at 21:57 - Score: 7. Original review text: Balanced and highly refreshing!

A good saison by these. Finishes with light citra hops and some stronger lemon presence. A little watery in texture. Finishes with light sourness. On tap at DC Summerfest.
