Nov 27, 2009 Bottle from Systembolaget. Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a mediumsized white head. It dissapears after a while. Aroma is spicy, yeasty, a bit phenolic, with notes of cereal, hay, grass and orange. Ligth vegetable note. Flavour is spicy, yeasty, with some light phenolic notes together with cereal, grass, orange and hay. Bitter, rather dry finish. Mediumbodied. Carbonation is rather soft, I think it actually could slightly more lively too bring a more refreshing feel. Okay beer, but Haandbryggeriet can do better than this.

Nov 20, 2009 Golden colour, white creamy head, lacing. Aroma is full of lemon coriander and other spices, it is also full of yeast. Flavour is hoppier than the smell lets on also there is yeast, lemon and spices. Mouthfeel is average with clean crisp bubbles. This was my first from Haandbryggeriet and apparantely those Norwegians know what they’re doing.

Nov 15, 2009 Pours hazy yellow with a huge frothy white head that lasts. Virtually no lacing. Pear, clove, alcohol and touches of solvent and broth on the nose. Flavor is a bit sweet and quite bitter until the end. Light to medium bodied. Syrupy texture. Lively carbonation. Alcoholic finish. (Batch 205, Vinmonoploet Kvadrat)

Nov 9, 2009 Bottle.
The pour is golden yellow and slightly hazy. A mediums-sized white head leaves some lacings.
The smell is of sweet fruits, fresh spices, malts and yeast. A hint of alcohol in the nose as well.
The taste is somewhat sweet at first but quickly turns quite bitter and spicy in the finish. Notes of sweet fruits and citrus, yeast, herbs and spices. A clean crisp malty backbone. There’s notes of hops and a hint of phenolic alcohol in the finish along with the bitterness and spices.
Moderate body, lively carbonation and a somewhat dry finish.
Saisons are usually really refreshing and easy to drink, but I think the bitterness in this one is a bit too much. Other than that, a good beer.
