Unfiltered blonde beer with a touch of wheat and a strong bitterness. Brewed the good old way, it is very refreshing. The only Saison beer produced in the region of Namur! The foam and bubbles are delicate and fine. Balance is the key word for this beer. It shifts between floral aromas, lime, a little broom and a lace mouth, but is robust at the same time. Refreshing as hell, this beer takes us back in time.

Old rating from 26-08-15 - 330ml bottle, picked up on my recent road trip to Belgium. Pours a hazy golden colour with a white head. Aromas of orange and malt. Tastes of sweet spices, orange, yeast, with a slight bitter hop on the aftertaste. Feels of medium carbonation. Overall, I was surprised by how much I like this one

Aroma of hay, some yeast, citrus, coriander, grass, perfumed, spicy notes. Flavour is moderate sweet with a light bitter finish. Lacking in Saison funk and tartness, it’s a drinkable beer but a mediocre Saison.

Bottle 0,75ltr: Hazy yellow coloured brew with an well balanced peppery taste, very special thirstquencher.

Bière 33 cl bue à la maison. Bière basique, notes de levure, typique belge, simple et efficace , un peu d'épices (poivre, coriandre), mais ne sort pas du lot.

0.33l from Goblet. Murky yellow body, lasting big thick white head. Huge citric-minty aroma. Lean, fresh sweetish taste, coriander-lemon, lightly grainy, bit dusty, herbal, bitterish. Highly fresh-tasting, very tasty overall. Not too complex, just lovely!

Bottle, 0.33l. Cloudy golden pour, huge frothy white head, excellent retention. Long lasting head, lots of lacing on the glass. Nicely refreshing on the nose, citruses, coriander, light spice. Light to medium body, lively carbonation. Average mouthfeel and texture, refreshingly fizzy. Balanced taste, sweet and bitter notes, light tart. Aroma of citrus, herbs, coriander. Grassy and grainy notes, wheat, belgian yeast, light spice. Medium lasting finish, mildly sour. Refreshing.
