A light and effervescent beer brewed in the belgian tradition for the seasonal harvest. The gently spicy esters of Walloon yeast are complimented by the tropical juiciness of Citra hops, that allows to enjoy the crisp tastescape despite a low final gravity. The citrus bitterness and slight maltiness balances on the tongue until a refreshing ending.

Pours a slightly cloudy, pale straw coloration with a large, fluffy, lasting head. Smells of doughy malt and spicy esters, as well as both estery and hoppy fruit notes of apple, apricot and papaya. Taste is a great balance of doughy malt and fruity and spicy hops and esters, with notes of green apple, apricot, papaya and lemongrass, as well as some clove and nutmeg, with hints of grassy accents too. Finishes with a light tartness and bitterness, as well as some green apple, papaya and clove lingering in the aftertaste. Effervescent mouthfeel with a light body and medium/strong carbonation.

This makes for a very nice, modern saison with a great balance of esters and hops, feeling very crisp and refreshing, with a great carbonation and mouthfeel as well. I really like the mix of spicy esters and both estery and hoppy fruity notes here, with a strong, zesty and grassy lemongrass presence, finishing both tart and bitter. Overall, this makes for a very easy-drinking, yet flavorfull summer beer that I found rather enjoyable and makes me sad that I have so few beers left from this brewery.
