June 2015: 750 ml bottle, as Birra del Borgo Genziana con radici, from Vinmonopolet. BB date March 2015. ABV is 6.1%. Clear deep golden colour, moderate white head. Strong sweetish malty and herbal / vegetable aroma. The flavour is also quite sugary sweet, notes of malts, caramel, herbs and vegetables (the radishes, I assume). Low bitterness. Not really my cup of tea. Drank it moderately chilled - might be more refreshing ice cold.

0.33l bottle.
Pours slightly hazy amer with a ring of white froth, scanty retention.
Smell - belgian profile, spicy, yeasty, grassy, floral, utterly fresh.
Taste - follows the smell, gentian not detected. Smooth, fruity belgian ale.
Medium body, high carbonation.
Refreshing belgian ale.

This is a pretty tasty beer. It's super floral, grassy and with a great balance between sweetness and the floral bitterness. Lots of bitter greens on the nose and taste. Extremely drinkable!

On the "1001", this was an odd beer. I probably won't buy it again and review it.

Hazy orange color with creamy, white head. Aroma is grassy, herbal, like a herbal tea with camomile. Taste has very nice saison notes along the herbal component. Slightly sweet but overall really drinkable. Body is really soft and has medium to low carbonation. Really tasty and easy to drink.
