Aroma: “Moderate lemon notes up front with a touch of spicy hops note and big fruity esters.”

Flavor: “Moderate spicy notes up front with a forward lime note. Very light body (maybe a touch too light) with high carbonation. Moderate spiciness up front with a black pepper–like note that slightly overpowers the esters. Wonderful malt sweetness is appropriate and balances well with the hops flavor. Very well-balanced, but hops shine through with some slight yeast characteristics. Overall clean finish with some spice.”

Overall: “Very refreshing with high carbonation and moderate fruity notes up front. Good spiciness that extends into the aftertaste with a mild bitter note. Perhaps a bit too thin—would prefer a bit more body to balance out the carbonation and spiciness, but a very well-balanced saison.”
