I have consumed more than my fair share of this....Bottles from Partizan. It pours pale yellow with a large white head. The nose is earth, straw, dough, spice and light citrus peel notes. The taste is smooth, straw, dough, crisp bitterness, ginger, pepper, light zesty citrus and faint underlying sweetness with a dry finish. Light-medium body, moderate carbonation and velvety mouth-feel. Crisp, clean and refreshing. Utterly drinkable. Brilliant stuff.

Bottle at home in London - picked up at the brewery. Pours perfectly clear, yellow-gold, highly effervescent, with a large, pure white foam head. Lightly doughy and biscuity pale malts in the nose, hints of yeast, lemon, hints of sting suggestive of ginger. Light sweet flavor with further restrained, biscuity-doughy pale malts, touches of citrusy fruits here and there, background ginger. Light bodied with lively, mouth-filling carbonation. Clean finish with very light sweetness, mellow straw bitterness, less doughy malts now, further hints of ginger in the background. A very delicate but impressively nuanced beer. Great summer bevvie.

Bottle at Haand Festival 2012. It’s an unclear, orange-golden beer topped by a finger-thick, dense white head. The aroma has some wheat and pale malt, a good dash of ginger and Belgian saison yeast. Faintly peppery, and there’s also a generic spiced touch I can’t pinpoint. The flavor has a balancing bitterness, it’s dry and nicely carbonated, with ginger, pale malts and a little , spiced, peppery twist. Some citrus notes. Lasting fruity finish. Might be the first time I’ve had a ginger-infused beer I really like, the level of ginger is spot on. Not extreme in any way, just there to add a little twist, and the saison yeast sure handles it well. 130525
