Oct 8, 2009 Strong saffon aroma, with associations to fish soup and rice, of course, but that’s just how I’m trained to percieve it.
A full bodied golden ale is used as a base.
Does it work?
No, not really. The saffron flavour is too strong for the beer. It overwhelms everytung, leaving nothing but a warm spicy saffron flavour. Some apricots and clementines in the background. I think there is some ginger, too, but it might be the saffron having the same warming effect.

Now it shows a mixed aroma of saffron and plastic, some alcohol too. Medium sweet flavor, low bitterness.

Cloudy blond color. Intense aroma, saffron, malt, hop, alcohol; nice. Medium body, dry mouthfeel, simple flavor. Weak final, but with shades of saffron. Original, interesting, but it would be better if sweeter.
