(Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, 6 May 2013) Pale yellow colour with frothy, white head. Malty, nose with notes of hay, grass, citrus and hints of spices. Malty, slightly spicy taste with bread, citrus, hints of yeast and a gentle spicy bitterness in the finish. Medium body, quite dry. Refreshing and quite drinkable, but lacking some saison character. More like a kölsch-style saison. Quite nice though.

Pours milky yellow with low white head
Aromas are citrusy with hints of sourness
Sour tastes is dominating but it lacks a bit of ooompf to make it fly

Sampled at the Raleigh Rare and Vintage Festival 2013. Clear golden pour with small ring of offwhite head. Notes of honey and lavender. And I also perceived this as "boozy" despite being not high alcohol. It must have been one of the other ingredients that was throwing me off. I thought "how is this supposed to be sessionable?".

On tap at the brewery. Pours cloudy golden with a lacy, white head. Aroma of pale malts, floral hops, and a good amount of spicy notes and light fruits. Flavor about the same, with the spiciness and fruitiness taking the background compared to the malts and hops. Average texture. A good beer for the style.

[keg at the Brooklyn Brewery] Opaque yellow pour with a slightly off-white, quick dispersing head. Musty aroma of hay, lemon and lime, floral notes, and spicy hop. Flavours followed suit. Quite a lot of lemon on the taste, with the wheaty, bready notes towards the end. Despite this, the finish is pretty clean. Good stuff [26112012]
