3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Breaking open the bottle and pouring a glass full reveals the ale’s opaque golden color, amazingly well retained head and commendable level of carbonation. The appearance is accompanied by a decent aroma, with hints spices and fruits – notably citrus. The taste is similar to the nose, with a medium body peppered by a complexity of fruity sweetness and herbal tastes and a somewhat dry mouth feel. The sweetness continues through to the finish, transitioning into a lingering bitterness.

Bottle 500ml. Batch nr 548. Pours golden on a large white head, bottled conditioned, and I didn’t let it stay long enough, so it got a little cloudy as well (I don’t mind). Aroma of yeast and soft malt, rich. Taste is rich and works very well with food, had it to sushi.

3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
500 ml bottle. Served in a tulip glass, the beer pours a hazy straw gold color with an inch and a half frothy white head. Head retention is good, and there’s a lot of lacing left on the glass. Aroma is lemon peel, wheat, coriander and a bit of banana. Smells more like a witbier than a saison, but with that being said it is a nice aroma. It tastes like wheat, lemon peel, pear, peppery spice and also a bit of an earthy taste. I think it tastes like a mix of a saison and a wit. Mouthfeel/body is medium, it’s well carbonated. Drinkability is good, the soft carbonation and the smoothness of this beer makes it easy to drink. I think it’s a good overall brew, I thought it was nice and refreshing. Another good Nøgne Ø brew.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Very pale straw-golden pour. The flavour is softly spicy. A nice, light zestiness along with a kiss of lemon peel as well. Fairly fruity aroma with a little bit of light zesty spice. Very light palate and a spice in here is somewhat restrained. I get a kiss of wheaty character out of this as well. Soft and a little tart but it’s plenty refreshing. The yeast actually comes across a little bit like Hennepin’s - which certainly isn’t a bad thing. Slightly doughy aroma - despite the dryness.
