355ml can - I can only presume that this is their base Saison, hopped with the Belma varietal.
This beer pours a clear, bright medium golden yellow colour, with one flabby finger of puffy, loosely foamy, and fairly fizzy dirty white head, which leaves a few instances of sparse island group lace around the glass as it quickly evaporates.
It smells of sort of meaty caramel malt, some estery yeastiness, a mixed bowl of generic melon fruit, and some faint earthy, musty, and dead floral hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy cereal malt, overripe grapefruit flesh, a further muddled melon fruitiness, slightly phenolic yeast, a hint of black pepper spice, and some still rather understated earthy, herbal, and musky floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is pretty active in its palate-probing frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and more or less smooth, with just a touch of hop acridity perhaps having a bit of undue influence at this particular juncture. It finishes trending dry, the yeast and hops in an awkward lingering embrace.
Overall - this comes across as kind of sharp and edgy, and not in a good way. There's nothing off here, but I'm just not getting a sense of cohesion, and sadly cannot recommend this latest edition in the Short Line series.
