Barwa jasno złota, z delikatnym zamgleniem. Piana biała, zbudowana z drobnych pęcherzyków, wysoka i niesamowicie trwała, ładnie maluje na szkle.
Aromat intensywnie chmielowy, owocowy (cytrusy, tropiki). Jest świeży i orzeźwiający.
W smaku niemal doskonały balans, słodowa słodycz współgra z chmielową goryczką, i jedynie na finiszu, goryczka jest wyraźniejsza, mocniejsza.
Alkohol dobrze ułożony. Ciało pełne. Tekstura gładka i miękka. Posmak średnio długi słodki z mocniejszym wytrawnym finiszem.

Wysycenie średnie w górę. Ciało średnie. Tekstura niemal gładka. Posmak średnio długi, kwaskowy.

Perfectly fine IPA. Approaches the WC style but doesn’t quite nail it. Some pleasant candied citrus, sun-kissed malts, mellow bitterness, piney accents, pale bread. Highly drinkable gear on the whole. Belgian-brewed IPAs have come a long way over the years.

Fruity, herbal taste with citrus, soft fruit, apricots, spicy herbs, grass, peaches and a mild herbal bitterness. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Quite a fruity saison. Refreshing. Nice one.
