My first beer from this interesting new Walloon craft brewery, thanks to my girlfriend Goedele. Very extreme gusher, I could not prevent losing about 1/3 to the sink, pity... Anyway, moving on: very thick, foamy, snow white, cobweb-lacing, large-bubbled head on a cloudy peach blonde beer with 'dirty orangey' tinge. Aroma initially dominated by prickling carbon dioxide but this fades quickly as usual, making room for impressions of warm white bread, freshly cut red apples, old orange peel, honey-glazed carrot, soggy rusk, pear juice, clove, sweetclover and a fortunately vague whiff of background DMS. Spritzy onset, very fizzily carbonated, estery fruitiness reminiscent of red apple, peach and banana, sweetish with a soft and 'fluffy' bready maltiness continuing this restrainedly sweetish effect towards a more spicy finish with the carbon dioxide still tingling along; notes of clove and even aniseed turn up, along with a floral and bit earthy hop bitter note and lots of lingering fruity and eventually somewhat 'dirty' yeastiness. Dryish in the end, with enough spritziness and spiciness to qualify as a (classically styled) saison, too bad for the heavy gushing though. Not bad.

33cl bottle from 5th beer festival Carrément Bières in l’Abbaye de Villers-la-Ville in Belgium. F: medium, white, average retention. C: gold, hazy. A: malty, spicy, bit herbal, orange peels, floral, yeasty. T: medium malty base, bit orange, bready, bit spicy, bit caramel, yeasty touch, quite malty lack some more hops in, more like ordinary ale than saison, lower carbonation, partially enjoyed.
