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.

33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Hogerdijk, Culemborg. My first saison. Hazy orange yellow with a white head. Fruity yeasty aroma with some citrus. slighty tart taste with some considerable hopbitterness. Lively carbonation and a long satisfying aftertaste. If this is typical of the saison style I have to find some others, great beer.

Bottle at home. Has a slightly hazy light orange colour with a frothy off-white medium head. Nice aroma of herbs, hops, hay, mango, belgium yeast and some spicy pepper. Malty and herbal flavours of hay and hops at first, and then a nice mellow finish with citrus. The mouthfeel is soft, and a light to medium bitterness. A very compact and nice saison. Incredible well balanced.

Bottle at Cafe de la Gare, Den Haag. Clear amber pour with a thin white short-lived head. Fruity caramel aroma. The flavour is yeasty with citrus notes with some bitterness on the palate. Quite a complex set of rich flavours. Very satisfying.

25cl Bottle: best before 15 June 2013, poured into a Westmalle chalice during Aug 2012. Slight haze to my golden/orange pour: off-white crown of thin bubbles. Fruit esters hit the nose, followed by yeast, malt molasses and some mixed spices: interesting. The taste is a lovely blend of flavours too: expected some farm yard feel to it and wasn’t disappointed, this had character in buckets. Malts, yeast and hops all vied for position and combined to produce a well balanced and flavoursome beer that I’ll be re-visiting again and again.

Doesn’t have much of a smell. Pours mostly golden with a little cloudiness. Has a little lasting head, though not a lot to speak of. Taste has a little wheat, a lot of yeast and a little barnyard hay bitter. The mild bitter stays on the breath after a while. Drinks very smooth. It’sdgecent but not super remarkable. Bottle at Castro’s
