(On draught at Bryden’s, Sept 22 2012 as Late Summer Saison; assume this is the same beer with additional ageing per description). Poured a slightly cloudy blond with slight orange hints, seemed to clear a bit as it warmed. Aroma had moderate, slightly banana ester and funky yeast characters, Some wheat and graininess from the pilsner malts, herbal and citrus notes that showed coriander and a little lemon character with the hops. Flavour is nicely bitter and biscuity, with some light banana, herbs, light pepper and a bit of tart lemon peel on the finish. Mouthfeel medium for a saison, average carbonation. Nice, balanced and fairly complex saison but not overly polished. Refreshing and quaffable.

Impressive beer from amsterdam. Pours cloudy blond with lacing and a little head. Smell has bubble gum hops and soft carbonation. Nice soft feel on palate. There’s some bitterness and a little boozy fermented funk. Good saison.
