7.5/10
Light blonde, with a little haze. Taste is dry hay malt, apricots, a little esters, and a mild bitterness on the finish. Decent density and decently full for a 3.2. Good for a very light. Can from the brewery.

Can from the brewery. No idea what this one looks like, it stayed in the can, then jumped right into my mouth. The taste is a nice roasted malt, with nuts, a little bread. A mild bitterness on the finish. A little light, but it is an 3.7. I enjoyed it.

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 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.
