Harvest Summer Saison
Tamamura Honten

A 330ml bottle, bottled in September 2016, poured into a d’Achouffe tulip glass.

Appearance: It poured a slightly hazy golden orange amber colour with a slightly less than two finger off white head that dissipated over a minute but left some nice lacing.

Aroma: Biscuit malt, tropical peach and apricot, bubblegum, lemon tea and some mild funk.

Taste: Sweet peach/lemon tea, tangy, bubblegum, pine, grass, mint with a touch of spiciness and light bitterness on the finish.

Mouthfeel: Dry, light bodied with high carbonation.

Overall: It’s not what I was expecting, but it’s ok. Perhaps a bit too sweet for me, in that I definitely can’t have more than one bottle at a time (and in fact probably even prefer to share a bottle). Having said that, it would definitely be a refreshing beer during a hot summer.
