St-Feuillien’ Saison is what the Belgians call a beer of the terroir, a traditional farmhouse ale with all the rich savour of the fertile land of southern Belgium. Saison, a warm golden blonde ale, is a top-fermented classique. Thanks to secondary fermentation in the bottle, Saison has an unmistakable flavour full of rich nuances and a slight tang. Saison, the latest in a long line of top-quality St-Feuillien beers, is a “hoppy”, unfiltered bee that is so emblematic of the rich Belgian tradition.

Just a wee 330ml bottle bought at random at one of my local LCBOs. Cloudy and golden with a slightly orange tinge. Sheeting of white head. Smell some sour grapes, Belgium yeasts, little wheat. Nice sour notes right of the top, well representing that "tang" in the description. A little grapefruit, slight hay. Crisp carbonation on the palate. Really good beer. Gotta love those Belgians.

Bottle at home in Gabrovo, Bulgaria - sourced from one of the big UK online web shops. Pours hazy, deep orange-gold with a large, frothy white head that settles in pretty quickly. Forward Belgian yeast in the nose with suggestion of tangy lemon, lots of pale and lightly doughy bread, esters, a bit of melon. Light to medium sweet flavor with somewhat sugary pale bread, hints of bitter straw, estery yeast character like bubblegum and melon, a bit of tangerine juice, some lemon rind, only a very mild hint of farmhouse twang. Light to medium bodied with lively, massaging carbonation. Moderately sweet to finish with a bit more melon, tangerine meringue, soft lemon candies, doughy white bread, a bit of hay. Very well balanced and drinkable with just enough complexity to make it interesting. A pretty classic example of the saison style.

Small shortlasting head. Aroma is slightly sweet fruity, light malts, yeast, citrus, grain, honey, flowers, shed, weeds, hints of broth. Taste is slightly dry floral, light malts, flowers, yeast, citrus peel, hay, weeds, honey, hints of minerals. Medium bitterness, slightly grainy mouthfeel. Fair enough.

Hvem sier at boksøl ikke smaker godt? Tenk bare på Oscar Blues, og nå også denne. Flott hvitt skum (som desverre forsvinner raskt) over en gylden velduftende øl. Belgisk gjær, pepper, krydder og litt stall - akkurat slik det skal være i denne stilarten. Ret dejlig og let for sine %.

Flaska från beergium. Gullengul, disig, stort vitt skum som snabbt lägger sig. En bra stiltypsik belgisk saison. Jäst, jord, örter, lite citrus. Lätt oljig, tangerine, pomeransbeska, snittblommor, örter, lättdrucken och trevlig.
