Special limited brew for Borefts 2016. A nice refreshing beer, sweet from the apricots with a light bitterness from the almonds. Translates as Sun & Good Times (hard to find a translation for 'gezelligheid' it's like cosy-ness or something :)

Bottle at home. Aroma is quite fruity, loads of apricots, peach, yeasty, big floral, candy, touch of tropical fruits. Flavour is pretty sweet and moderate bitter. Body is medium. Too bad about the heavily candied sweetness as I dig the big stone fruit aroma.

Tap @ Borefts. Blonde. Apricot and citrus in the aroma. Floral perfumed flavir with apricot and a hint of salt. Fairly dry. Nice beer.

Bottle at home. Pours hazy golden with a white head. Intense aromas of apricot. Taste is sweet apricots, light banana esters, candy sugar. Sweetish fruity finish. Medium bodied, average carbonation. An interesting take on a saison but overly boozy .

Bottle from Bierkonig. Hazy orange with a short head. Aroma of astringent perfume, tastes like someone dropped a bottle of perfume into beer. Did not like this one.

hazy golden to orange colour, large, though quickly collapsing off-white head; aroma and taste are fully dominated by overripe apricot/apricot jam/spongecake with apricot and apricot jam; well, not really complex beer and quite one-dimensional with this exaggerated apricot-dominance, but still I like it

330 ml bottle. Pours a golden amber with moderate head. Aromas of funky green berries, tart stoned fruit and bright Belgian yeast. Flavors of burnt bubble gum, plastic, odd nuts, and wheat malts. Expecting so much more from the nose. Kinda yuck. A miss for De Molen.

330ml bottle. Pours a cloudy orange with a large, frothy, long lasting, white head that leaves curtains of lace. Sweet fruity aroma of apricot, peach, banana and bubblegum with wheat malt in the background. Sweet flavour of apricot, orange peel, floral, wheat malt and salt with a dry, bitter, slightly tart finish. Medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. A different but very nice saison.

Bottled 0o-09-2016. Super weird. Smells fruity and light. Tastes heavy, dense, fruity and salty. Almond flour adds weird texture. Good fun.
