I ordered this beer as part of a 4 part flight since I had never been to Penrose before. Each beer was 6 oz. in size, so they were all decent sized pours. This beer features a clear, fairly deep golden color with a white head that is 1 finger in height and dissipates quickly to a very thin lacing. 3.75/5 Lime zest is king in the aroma along with white bread, jarred yeast, lightly toasted barley, grass, light stone fruit, green grapes, banana, and clove making out the remainder of the aroma. Not quite as Belgian-esque as Devoir but still fairly complex with nice layers. Very similar to a Corona in terms of the lime profile (in a good way of course) 3.75/5 The taste of the beer is very heavy on lime and white bread with the lime and white bread leading the way prior to just a bit of banana and clove coming in (these two notes are very light). White pepper comes out bringing with it a nice spiciness that complements the lime before herbal hops make their appearance and bring an earthiness that rounds out the flavor. Citrusy overall with the rest of the flavors playing a backup role to the lime. 3.5/5 This beer is light and crisp with very low carbonation (just a slight tickle). There is no drying during the sip or after. 4/5 Interesting concept of mixing lime zest and a traditional Saison. The lime zest wins out in the battle of flavors with this one with the lime zest being quite significant in both the aroma and flavor. Sessionable and light, excellent for a hot day. 3.75/5
