Hop BroAnd the style is Kinmokusei Saison, a saison made with osmanthus.
MugiI hear about saisons a lot, but what does a dry finish actually feel like?
Hop BroPut simply, it’s that clean finish that fades away quickly, and when you add fine foam, the aroma rises beautifully.
MugiWow! And it’s not just osmanthus, it also has Iyokan peel? I love how ambitious that is!
Hop BroOn top of that, the bright aroma of Luminosa hops comes through, so the floral notes and citrus lift really open up all at once.
