Bottle sample at a tasting. Thanks Shachar. Hazy orange color with a white head. Aroma is flowery with some yeast, grainy notes, some funky character and fruits. Very bitter flavor with fresh fruits, some grassy and citric notes and some spicy funky hints. Medium-bodied. Mmm... Bitter... Refreshing.

Dec 25, 2009 Slightly funky straw-like aroma. Must have an older bottle, as this is not very bitter at all. It is rather tart and quite drinkable, though. Flavor reminds me uncannily of a Arnold Palmer - a blend of lemonade and iced tea.

Dec 25, 2009 From an undated 750ml bottle. Aromas of citrus, pine, and a little bit of horseblanket. Flavors of lemon, sour grapes, and some peat with a sour finish. The hops have faded quite a bit but it is still quite nice. A very interested beer that reminds me more of a sour ale than a saison.

Nov 24, 2009 Bottle, 75cl. It’s a hazy, orange beer with a minimal-sized white head. Berries, citrus and hints of cellar on the nose. The flavor has a sour, acidic fruityness, and a touch of berries and flower. Medium body with some astringency and quite a lot of carbonation. A quite nice beer, but a bit odd for my likings. 090822.
