Bottle @ home. Clear golden (as in not hazy) with loads of particles floating around. Medium sized white head. Smells yeasty, slightly zesty, grassy, sweet-ish. Tastes yeasty, sweet-ish, doughy, grassy, slightly floral. Medium body, nice carbo, nice saison. I just can't give a higher score because of the style I guess. But if you like saison you should try this one if the opportunity presents itself.

Thank you Klaas! 330 ml. bottle sampled @ RBBSG17. This is apparently their bestselling beer. Ugly hazy golden, low orange, off-white head. Nose is big soapy yeast, banana, sugar, dough, candy,… Taste is soapy banana, yeast, sugar, candy, huge banana, sweet dough, low sweet cheese in finish. Body is all banana yeast. Another bland too sweet Belgian masquerading as a saison but approachable & sweet enough for most clearly to sell well.

26/VIII/17 - 33cl bottle @ RBBSG17 - BB: VI/2018 (2017-1314) Thanks to Klaas for sharing the bottle!

Rather cloudy orange beer, big aery irregular yellowish head, little stable, bit adhesive, leaving some lacing in the glass. Aroma: malty, grains, bit yeasty, pretty fruity, bit sweetish, citrus notes, some grapefruit, vanilla touch, crème brûlée. Weird. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: very spicy, some citrus, grains, malty, bit sweet, pretty bitter, yeasty. Aftertaste: nice bitterness, spicy touch, something metallic, bit herbal, some myrica gale maybe?
