Nøgne Ø Saison

I'm writing this largely because I'm giddy to find out that my local Whole Foods is dramatically increasing it's beer section, and the buyer isn't filling it up with a bunch of west coast stuff I can get elsewhere. Especially great for me is seeing some of the special Goose Island stuff - look forward to notes on that soon.

As for this, I can't recall if I've had it before or not. Smells a little wheaty, hint of citrus, a slightly musty tinge. Full carbonation, wheat flavor and texture, with that citrus again and a bit of an herbal note.

I'm not sure it's the best saison I've had, but it's probably the most drinkable. Summer arrived here today, and this is a fine beer for it; really refreshing. I'll be sure to turn to this again in July when I want a beer that's still got plenty of flavor.
