Draught at Gollem in Antwerp. Thick, creamy, egg-white, lacing, stable head over a hazy peach blonde beer. Aroma of dried orange peel, mango, yoghurt, fermenting hay, peach, biscuit, cider, stale sweat, wet leather. Estery onset, gooseberry, peach and mango with a light umami accent, soft carbo, gentle lactic ’yoghurty’ and fermenting fruit tartness, fluffy bready and caramelly malt sweetishness underneath leading to a gently but aromatically hopped, floral finish in which the soft tartness also continues. Has sweet, sour and bitter in a consecutive order and all very gentle and well in balance with each other, but none of these flavours define it as either a saison or an IPA. Nevertheless a very pleasant beer.

Tap at Gollem. Pours unclear blonde, small white head. Smell is bit bitter, taste is sharp, intensely bitter with a nice hoparoma. The beer than switches over to a more sweet, honey-like taste, over a weak saison-profile. Not a traditional saison, and for me not so great. Drinkable though, and interesting to see how they wanted to fade the borders between IPA and saison.

Sample from 75 cl. bottle. Slightly hazy golden colour with a thin, white head. Fruity aroma with yeasty notes, herbal hops, pale malts and spicy hints. Taste is bitter. Medium body with an average carbonation and a soft carbonation. Finishes lasting bitter and yeasts and herbal hops. Nice!

Thanks for sharing! 750 ml. bottle sampled @ Beer Temple during Carnivale Brettanomyces #4. Hazy orange, little white head. Nose is light wheat, orange, grain, malty & some sugar. Taste is a bit dull grainy orange, rye bread, orange, sugar, malt, pepper, citrus,… Grainy body,… Okay but a bit non-descript. Another highly rated Canadian beer that I just don’t get.
