Aroma - Fruity, like peach and apricaot, some citrus, honey, very faint spice. A really nice aroma.
Appearance - Hazy gold pour producing a substantial white head that recedes to a fine, thin layer, and a delicate, spotty lace
Flavor - A soft sourness offers contrast to the fruity sweetness, and some acidic tartness at the finish provides and excellent drying effect, which is amplified by some very gnetly bitterness.
Palate - Light body, rather bold carbonation, enhancing the dryness. Very clean palate, dry without harshness.
Overall - I really enjoyed this saison. Clean, refreshing, wonderful flavors and aromas, and the perfect accompaniment to the dinner of grilled mahi-mahi that we had tonight.
