In the post, this beer is introduced as a brew made to coincide with the cherry blossom viewing season. The fruity character from the saison yeast is layered with a subtle spicy aroma, while wheat malt gives it a soft, smooth mouthfeel. In addition, sweet woodruff, cherry blossom leaves, and tonka beans are used to evoke a gentle cherry blossom-like aroma. It was also noted that the hops used are Loral and Lubelski.

The flavor impression is fresh and spring-like, with a gentle, easy-drinking profile. It is a beer well suited to slow enjoyment as the weather turns warmer. One of the pleasures of a beer pub is following the changing lineup of guest beers. At Beer Kise on the third floor, it is appealing to be able to enjoy seasonal craft beer alongside meals and conversation.

For anyone who wants to drink a saison with lingering cherry blossom nuances as spring draws to a close, this is a tap update worth checking out.
