One of the first beers from this new micro brewery (opened January 2017) in Beveren-Waas, my home region, by Wim Tindemans, who has been active as a hobby brewer for twenty years. Brewed with a French saison yeast and a dash of coriander. Tasted at the brewery and now at home from a 33 cl bottle. Frothy, egg-white, moussy head, consisting of relatively large, irregular bubbles and thinning quickly, eventually settling as a thin, irregular ring with some dots in the middle, over an immediately hazy, warm peach blonde beer with ochre-ish tinge. Aroma of green pear, banana with a slight hint at chewing gum, ripe peach, soggy white bread, clove-like phenols, field flowers, straw, bread crust, hints of old cheese, soap (the coriander, no doubt), old dry lemon zest, freshly cut grass, jute, dry earth and a vague touch of DMS (cooked vegetables) but fortunately not at all to the point where it ruins everything else. Fruity, bit estery onset, restrainedly sweetish banana and peach mixed with a sourishness reminiscent of green gooseberries and yellow plums, hint of pineapple perhaps, sharply carbonated, fizzy and a tad numbing at first, but with small bubbles so not overly harsh. Smooth bready malt body with grainy and slightly ’wheaty’ edges, while the fruity esters linger and some spicy phenols appear; ends dry, earthy and outspokenly hop bitter, long and a tad wormwood-like, with floral and bitter herb-like notes; some bready malt juiciness and yeasty accents as well, and then of course that spicy-and-soapy flavour of coriander, quite noticeable. Quenching, hop bitter, dry and crisp, with a high degree of drinkability and a low degree of residual sugars - intentionally so, this beer comes closer to the traditional Hainaut saison standard than many other of these countless ’new’ saisons which are often nothing but rebranded Belgian blondes. Clearly this brewery intended to make a credible, authentic tasting example of the style. Too bad for that whiff of DMS and the quick dissipation of the head, but from what I heard, the latter issue is going to be dealt with in upcoming batches; for me personally, the coriander, though subtly applied, can be even more subtle, or even omitted altogether. In all a more than decent effort, better than I was expecting, actually.
