Very clean low ABV beer perfect for hot summer days. Nice nose and clear pour that is refreshing as well as tasty. Drink and enjoy, you will not be disappointed.

Another Binnys single shelf pick up. It poured an orangish haze with white head that is leaving a lace. The scent had ripe fruit and touch of lemon grass. The taste follows the scent closely but heavier on the lemon grass. The Mouthfeel is lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it's decent and worth a try but Im not a huge fan.

Pours a murky, amber color with an inch of coarse, off-white foam. Mild aroma smells of lemongrass, green tea, and perhaps coriander.
The taste is similarly delicate and refreshing, featuring lemongrass, crackery malt, and zesty, chalky Belgian yeast. Green tea barely sneaks through on the back end after warming. Medium body and high carbonation make for a very crisp, dry mouthfeel.
I didn’t know quite what to expect from this brew, and I must say I was very pleasantly surprised. This is a well-executed Belgian-style ale in the vein of a saison, with a unique twist. Quite a nice option for the summer months.

A Cloudy burnt orange, soapy but somewhat coarse voluminous white head similar to an IPA, eager carbonation.
S: Yeast, lemon, herbal/earthy.
T: Mild. Lemon, maybe something herbal. Some additional citrus notes of the hop-derived variety, with hop bitterness on the finish. Overall, in dire need of more character, especially the advertised green tea and lemongrass.
M: Drying, but refreshing. Not much presence of carbonation.
O: Refreshing and enjoyable, despite the lack of flavor. It had some nice zest, but I got a lot more hops than green tea and lemongrass.
