Cloudy toffee colour, healthy off-white head. Hoppy aroma, also very sweet and fruity - pineapple. Soft carbonation, but tingly hops enliven the palate. Taste is very smooth, with lovely raw flowery hops, and a pleasant horse-blanket hint. Toffee in the taste too. Finish is bounding with raw hops, very long, and beautifully sticky. An Imperial Saison! Thicker, deeper, heavier - just so much more; and all in perfect balance. A million thanks, Pat, this was glorious! oh6gdx (9107), Vasa, Finland
