473 ml. can. Medium hazy to touch higher golden with collapsing soapy white head. Nose is floral lemon, perfume hop, hazy tropical & low grass. Bit fizzy lemonade, too much bitter weeds, chalky, lemon peel, too much lingering harsh weeds & chalk… Fair but def too harsh with some odd notes.

Thanks! Large can sampled @ Beerlovers Bar. Bright golden citrus. Nomse is nice lemon, sweat & onion hop but also bit too soapy. Too thin & bit too soapy for me with nice zest, sweat & onion, almost hint vegetable, imperfect but nice.

Can. Hazy orange color with white head. Aroma is sweaty, a bit vegetables. Taste is sweaty, pineapples, vegetables, sugar icing, herbal. Oily mouthfeel with fizzy carbonation. Weird...

On tap at Biercab. Pours bright red purple. Blackcurrant, red grape, Ribena, really sour, strong white wine vinegar, lovely strong red fruit sweetness with a real acidity. Good body. Like somebody dramatically lowered the pH of Ribena and that is no bad thing. Very good.

Tap at Bakujun in Kyoto and served in a snifter. Beatitude Council: Tart Blackcurrant Sour Saison 4.5% This is the 4th in this series I’ve tried and I gotta say it is the best looking with a deep reddish pink-purple color that is quite cocktail like. Great tart waxy sour black current aroma. Fairly full and soft bodied but with a sharp round carbonation that finishes dry and light. The taste is tart black currant, a bit of twiggy/woodsy character (like a berry bearing branch was snapped off and used to male the beer) then acidic sour notes. Summery and interesting, it tastes nice but not as good as it looks which is amazing. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

16 oz can from Tavour. Canned 6/13, a little over a month ago. Aroma is Smarties, citrus peel, passionfruit, floral. Pours hazy golden with a one finger off-white head with decent retention. Taste is lightly bitter, somewhat sweet, juicy. Very nice.
