Saison Anniversaire 2020
Burning Sky Brewery

Copenhagen 13/5 2021. 50 cl from tap at the Dispensary, Nørrebrogade, Kbh. N.

Pours slightly unclear golden yellow with a small white head. Settles as thin almost transparent layer of foam struggling to cover the surface of the beer. No lacing.

Aroma is fairly intense with a sweet fruity scent mingling with a funky, sour odor. Apple cider, sweet pear. Sour gooseberries. Sour cheese.

Medium carbonation. Slightly thick, oily, lightly tingling texture.

Flavor is medium intense with a light sweetness followed by a strong sourness. Aftertaste is sour but a little thin. Lingers shortly. Finish is dry.

Fine nose but a little thin in flavor.

A 750ml corked and caged bottle, bottled on 21st September 2020, and with a best before date of 21st September 2030. Poured into a Tilquin stemmed glass.

Appearance: A very nice slightly hazy golden colour with a two finger white head that had pretty good retention while leaving lots of nice lacing.

Aroma: Funky, vinous, grape, white wine, lemon zest, straw, with light floral notes.

Taste: Lightly sour, tart, funky, floral, lemon zest, white wine vinous, woody, lightly floral, and a slightly spicy peppery finish.

Mouthfeel: Light bodied with moderate carbonation.

Overall: Good balance of sour, funk and citrus fruit. The Chardonnay barrel was a little light overall, and I think if it was stronger, it would have been very interesting. Still a very easy drinking beer, that was especially good on a hot summer, but rainy day.
