(500ml bottle from masoif.com) Pours lightly cloudy bright yellow-gold with a thick fairly stable white head without lace. Aroma is super-fruity and semi-vinous, underripe nectarines and apricots, kiwi, floral pale citrus, touch of floral juicy passionfruit, white grape skins, delicate grass/leaf green freshness, lightly estery saison yeast with a delicate natural wine-like funky edge. Flavour is lightly tart and fairly dry, more vinous than the nose even with underripe peach/nectarine in abundance, light passionfruit-like floral tart tropicals, exotic pale citrus, smooth saison yeast esters, delicate grassy/herbaceous edge, finish is long and white grape-heavy, lingering pit fruit impression of sweetness, a little white pepper and florals, delicate astringency and bitterness in the aftertaste. Light body, fine bottle-conditioned carbonation. Delicious hopped saison, the hops are well-chosen and balanced against the white wine maceration.
