on tap at klub malych pivovaru in plzen. i was so grateful to get stuck into this. it must have been at least 2 years since my last saison. anyways, after the initial burst of enthusiasm, i still retained a fair bit of respect for this beer. hazy golden; restrained saison dupont yeast aroma; hints of banana and stone fruits; pleasantly dusty; just with an overabundance of fairy floss sweetness in the finish.

(bottle) Hazy, golden colour with a huge and slightly yellow foamy head. Belgian yeast-character, sweet malty and citric aroma with notes of bubblegum and flowery, slightly spicy hops. Moderately sweet flavour, light bodied with a lively carbonation. Malty and wheaty start with yeasty spices and fruity notes; medium-dry wheaty and citrus-fruity finish with a discreetly spicy hoppy note. Quite authentic and rounded. 20.X.10

Lahev (z pivoteky "Zlý Časy"): Golden to deep golden, unclear, stable lacy rocky off-white head; citric and yeasty nose with some lemon-peel underneath; light bodied and fizzy; lingering hoppier and sourish citrussy finish. Fine hoppy český sezon........

bottle from U Medvídku. Hazy pale golden colour, large white head. Spicy nose, exotic spices, hops. Malty base, sourish-fruity flavours, hints of caramel, spicy hops in the finish. Very interesting and good.
