Aestatis
(has 2 batches)

Certainly nothing like most of the saisons I know like snow in the summer time. Pours dark amber with decent head. Some malt and lots of caramel. More like a Belgian dark. Tangy and sweet finish. Ok but something I’d buy again. Bottle.

Bottle, 2015 vintage (from etre gourmet). Pours amber with beige head. Aroma is fruity sugar, apricots, some brett like notes. Flavor is sweet, sour, and bitter, fruits, apricots, caramel, some brett like notes, some butterscotch. Finish is dry bitter with some alcohol and apricots. Overall: okish, can get drunk from this, but not really a good beer.

Bottled. 2015. Fascinating nose, peaches, orange, spicy yeast, honey, biscuits. Dark gold to vrown, cloudy, low, fine, thick head. Tart and malty, lots of fruit, apple, orange, peach, grapefuit. Very biscuity, a bit of funk. Touch of caramel. Like this. Very different kind of saison / tripel.

Botella de @El Lúpulo Feroz, Oviedo 08/10/2016. Color amarillo, sabor malta, especiado.

Bottle sample at a tasting at troubles’s place. Thanks Yoav. Deep golden, quite clear. Fruity aroma. Yeasty flavor, a bit sweetish, fruity, slightly spicy. Medium-bodied.

Bottle: Poured a dirty yellow color ale with a nice large off-white foamy head with excellent retention and great lacing. Aroma of herbal notes with some cereal and light rustic flavours is quite charming. Taste is a great mix of herbal notes with rustic cereal and light dry leafy hoppy notes also noticeable. Body is full with great carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Very enjoyable take on the style with good complexity while retaining some drinkability. I would like this even more with less alcohol.

Bottle kindly shared by O. Hazy dark amber with dirt white head. Sticky caramel aroma with hay, dark fruit, floral and herbal spice and booze. Odd and tangy. Not my thing.
