A clear golden colored beer, with a big white head. The aroma has a little hop bitter, with fruits like citrus and some malt. The taste of bitter citrus andsweet of peaches, The aftertaste is bittersweet.

Bottle, 75 cl. Light hazy dark golden color, with good white head. Aroma yeast, bit spice, hops. Medium body. Taste is good, yeasts, hopsbitterness, some spice. Nice !

Serious gushing to three big glasses of fluffy foam and hazy pale orange-gold bottoms with UFO’s. Wild ferments, garden herbs, farmyard odours. Saison-like some might say, I deem it uncontrolled. Slightly wry flavour, yeasty, wild yeasts - not sour or acidic. A bit smoked, tobacco-like. Medium bodied, seriously bitterish aftertaste. I’m sure this beer will find a lot of admirers, especially in the States. But I suspect severe lack of control. Still, at this stage I certainly cannot call it bad.
