From tap at Moeder Lambic Fontainas, Brussels. Aroma is floral and hoppy, fruity, citrus, grassy, peppery spicy yeast, and more. Flavour is light sweet with some welcome bitterness in the finish. Body is medium, very smooth and appealing. Complex with great depth and balance, truly a special Saison.

Draft. Grass, lemon, biscuit malt, and straw aroma. Cloudy medium yellow with moderate head. Mildly sweet lemon, biscuit malt, and mildly bitter hay flavor. Great balance - smooth as silk - would have never guess it was 8%.

Great saison. Well integrated florals and some hay. Some banana. Almost like a weizenbock. Hazy golden pour with good head and lacing. Light sweet and clean finish. Tap at Sovereign.

On draft at The Sovereign for the Brasserie de la Senne beer dinner with Yvan De Baets. Poured a hazy yellow color with a fluffy white head. aroma was funky straw notes with a bit of sweet melon fruit. Flavor was pretty similar - light hazy straw funk, sweet malts. Pretty darn drinkable.

On tap at The Trappist. It pours a very hazy light orange color with a creamy white head. The aroma is very bready with some lemongrass, melon and some hints of flowers. The flavor has a lot of melon, bread, lemongrass and vanilla wafer. Full bodied with a soft mouth feel. It’s a little astringent and cardboard-like near the finish with strong floral bitterness. Thick on the palate with the melon and bread standing out. Different. Not like most of the other beers I’ve had from De la Senne.

Draught at Gollem in Antwerp. Very thick and dense, frothy, creamy, egg-white head, hazy peach blonde colour. Aroma of banana, flowers, dried grass, white pepper, dried orange peel, celery, apricot, apple peel and something vaguely plastic-like, but not really off-putting. Restrained dried berry, apple peel and green banana fruitiness with a gooseberry sourish accent, in all beginning quite dry with only very subdued sweetness, softish carbo, full honeyish and lightly bready malt sweet body, rounded, ending in a long, dry, floral and spicy hop bitter finish with ongoing malt sweetness and some warming, gin-lik alcohol, without any astringency. Nicely rounded, dryish hybrid between tripel and saison (in the same league as e.g. Moinette Blonde and the like).
