Pours gold into a shaker. Bright white head with little retention recedes to hug rim. Caramel and resin aromas. Soft with sourdough and caramel upfront turning to mild resin in the medium length finish.

22oz bomber shared at a DC tasting. Brown black, very light delicate body. Takes a style that is made pretty sub-standardly all too often, and really perfects it. Great clean example of the style.

Bottle in the USA. Pours cloudy gold with a large, white cream head. Nose of dough, faint lemon. Light to medium sweet flavor with plenty of sugary dough, a bit of toasted sugars, faint tangy lemon, touches of straw bitterness. Yeah, quite a bit of dough. Light bodied with average carbonation. Very faint citrusy tang to finish, with more sweet and doughy malts, some white bread. It’s an OK saison. It dries out slightly in the finish, which alleviates some of the sweetness. Very subtle, dry tosaty grass bitterness as well. Drinks a touch stronger than the ABV, FWIW. Nothing too wrong here.

Bottle provided by jslot38. Thanks! Well I noted it had an awful aroma - but i don’t remember why I noted that or anything else, ah well. Anyway, poured a ruby-cola color with a small off-white head. Aroma was sweet roasted, chocolates, and toffee. Flavor was likewise.

22 oz. bottle purchased @ Julio’s Liquors for $4.24 after Wild Six discount. English pint shows me a slightly hazy gold. Very thin white head with mild retention. The nose is a pleasant Belgian yeast and grassy type hop aroma. Taste is real impressive for what this style is. Zesty yeast, light bready malt and a hop nuance in the finish. Light bodied. A session beer indeed!
