Hmm. A saison and salt beer. Not actually a natural combination. Aromas of banana, raisins, salt and almonds. The salt overwhelms the other flavours in the mouth. Not a very pleasant drinking experience.

OB Noto Shio Saison 5% Let’s hope this bottle is better than the last one I had from Oriental Brewing. Souvenir from Kanazawa Station...fairly clear matte copper color (kind of dull looking - not bright) but it has a lovely rocky head of foam and spicy saison aroma. The medium bodied brew gives a salty hit up front then lots of saison spice but at times has a fairly rough earthy finish. This is begging to be served with a lemon wedge. Surprisingly ok/solid.
