I didn't enjoy this as much as the "limon"-less version. Mild bready malt, with some lime, which seems to somewhat undercut the density of the malt. The lime itself is a little underdone.

Decent, mildly sweet bready malts, with some good density. Not fancy, but good.

Cna from the brewery. Taste is slight resin, perfume, bittering hops, with a slight burn. All over mildly sweet malt, with some apricots in there too. Pretty good.
Pours a light clear tan, decent white head. Taste is decent mild roasted malts, decent creamy smoothness. Really enjoyable. Pint at the only.
Pours a light blonde, finger and a half of white head. Some decent light esters, over very light hay malts, notes of grass, grapefruit in there too. Some bitterness in the finish. A decent light saison. Can from the brewery.

Dark opaque pour, with a finger of tan head that sustains. Taste is solid toasty, bready malt, that's fairy dry, with mild bittering hops. The flavour comprehensively lingers. I enjoyed thia one. Can from the brewery.

Pours a pale, but cloudy blonde, with soapy white head. Taste is fairly light. Mild, slightly thin, dry hay malt. Hops is mildly resious, mildly bitter with citrus undertones, with lingering bitterness on the finish. Feels a little thin, but not bad. Can from the brewery.

Tasty. Grapefruit, orange zeat hops, slight burn, with some pithy bitterness. Over a mildly sweet grainy malts. Decent weight to it. Quite nice, and surprising for a 4.4. Can from the brewery.

Can from the LCBO. Clear pale gold with a two finger white head that fades to a sheet leaving spotty lace. Nose is lemon zest, ginger, lavender and grains. Light lemon tartness at the fore leading into a light grassy bitterness and ginger through the finish. Mouth is slightly thin and sticky with soft carbonation and a crisp finish. Refreshing.

Looking forward to this one! Can from the brewery. Pour is a light blonde with thick white head that disappears. Nose is a light funk. This being only a 3.8%, it did feel a little thin, but that's almost to be expected. Really nice, fresh light crispness with some funkiness. Flavors of apricots some dirty socks over a very light straw malt. For a session beer, it's really quite nice, don't expect a meaty, aserbic Berliner, you'll be disappointed. I appreciate the lack of fruit.
