KoekeDam is our own interpretation of the saison style with the addition of a French saison yeast. An American hop sort and a small quantity of spelt malt give a fresh undertone. KoekeDam is the ideally refreshing beer!

"Saison style" beer since 2011, from just before the saison hype started, I guess. Thick, cobweb lacing, coarse, rocky and thick, off-white head over a pale golden blonde beer with greenish hue and fierce sparkling. Aroma of green apple, peach, dried orange peel, white bread, powder sugar, pineapple, banana, grass. Medium fruity onset, sour berries, apple peel and pineapple, bit minerally with tingling carbonation, dryish mouthfeel with some bready maltiness, ending in grassy and somewhat peppery hop bitterishness, lightly resiny, bit yeasty with some juicy maltiness coming through. A decent Belgian blonde, but if this is a saison, the same thing can be said of dozens of other Belgian blondes which do not present themselves as such.

Bottle at the Vanbrugh Tavern Beer Festival, Greenwich, my birthday bash, 2015. Sample cadged from the missus who rather liked this one. Light gold pour with a white head. Straw and light citrus aroma. Lemon sherbet and wheat flavour. Fresh, crisp citrus burst on the palate. Bitter-fruit finish. Nice.
