On tap at Ølfestival 2011. An unclear, yellow-golden beer with a rather small, off-white head. Oranges and pale malts on the nose, lacking on the aromas normally making saisons so interesting. Fruity flavor with banana and citrus, slightly peppery towards the end. Medium body, dry and nicely carbonated. Peppery and bitter finish. A quite pleasant one, I especially like the peppery touch, but it’s not that interesting. 110527
