On tap. Pours gold. Fairly nondescript, slightly acidic aroma. Bit more flavour but primarily a crisp and clean lager. Went down without any fuss with my sushi.

Can from Aeon Super. Nose is sweet honey malt, stone fruit, light citrus, and a bit of spicy yeast. Smells much more like a typical abbey blonde than a saison. Clear golden orange with a low head. Flavor is a bit too sweet, very fruity, lightly spicy. the hops are light, and the Belgian yeast adds more than they do. Reminds me of an industrial Belgian blond but with lower alcohol. Little farmhouse character and not quite dry enough to call a real saison, but not bad. Decent prickly finish.

Pours clear golden, bit of white foam. Slightly fruity sweetish aroma, stuffed biscuits. Taste is quite sweet, some orange marmalade with a touch of lightly bitter hops. Sweetness continues in the finish. Not really bad and actually a nice change from usual premium lagers - but too sweet for me for the style.

Highly carbonated with big frothy white head. Super unimpressive nose that comes across almost as a mainstream lager. Mildly sweet, with stewed apricot, way too heavy for the style. Modestly hopped. Does absolutely nothing for me and doesn’t remind me of a session IPA in any way

Can. See this has all kinds of adjuncts in it. surprise surpise. Lightly lemony nose, some herbs, sugary, candyish malt character. Deep golden color, clear, with a medium, fine head. Reasonably nice hoppiness, citrus, lightly floral, light unobtrusive malts with medium sweetness. Light, summery. Prickly, peppery finish with low to medium bitterness. Ok for what it is. Better than most of the stuff they make.
