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.

In der formschönen 750er Buddel. Optisch sattes erdiges Orange, schöner Schaum. In der Nase Aprikosen, hefig. Im Trunk setzt das fort, dezent bitter, hinten intensiver. Leicht tartig. Da fehlen mir etwas mehr Aromen und Intensität. Okay.

Pours translucent orange, a little hazier on final pour. Not so big per style but compact white head, showing good enough retention and modest lacing. The aroma is mainly estery/fruity with pear, peach, lighter banana and perhaps a citric hint, while more classic saison notes (herbal/grassiness, earthiness, spiciness) are in the back. Feels quite vivid and well defined. Taste notes follow the aroma quite closely, with fruitiness taking the main stage as the smell suggested and more pronounced spiciness. The beer is quite sweet for the style (there's also a light honey note) but well balanced by a clean, dry enough finish/aftertaste. Medium or slightly below medium bodied, with medium carbonation (lighter than style average in carbo). An easy drinker, the mouthfeel feels nicely lively and still decently full/satisfying. Overall this was something between a saison and a low abv tripel (the fruitiness and spiciness are quite tripleish) and anyway a beer i enjoyed.
