Blonde, 5,5% abv, hazy and opalescent, creamy head. Her nose is a mix of citrus fruits and flowers - thanks to the use of ‘forgotten’ hop varieties, grown with love in the south of Germany - with a note of ripe pear. It develops flavours of citrus, bergamot and kumquat, as well as notes of rustic cereals (spelt, wheat, and rye) and wild flowers. Its final is very dry, as the style wants it. A real thirst-quencher!

(Bottle) Hazy golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, malty nose with white bread, lemon, pineapple, honey, hay and flowers. Fruity, floral taste with notes of bread, orange, lemon, honey, pineapple, apples, flowers and a generous spicy, floral bitterness in the finish. Medium body, quite dry. Tasty and well made saison, with a generous spicy, herbal hop presence. Very nice.

Si cette saison du Meyboom possède des arômes et une complexité intéressants, on attend davantage de la part d'une telle brasserie et notamment en ce qui concerne l'intensité et la puissance aromatique. Même pour une bière de soif, on apprécie un peu plus de présence. Joli visuel sur un blond paille, parfaitement limpide et une belle mousse blanche crémeuse de 1,5 cm d'épaisseur. Au nez on reconnait l’épeautre directement avec une astringence certaine alliée à un côté terroir. Le tout est paré d'un houblon fin et d'arômes de citron, floraux et de pomme granny. L'attaque est quelque peu déconcertante. Une base douce sur le miel et la pêche est prédominante. En dessous coexiste toutefois la saison, acidulée, reprenant les arômes présents au nez. La saison s'exprime correctement en seconde bouche, la base douce disparaissant. L'astringence est alors marquée et plus décevant, les arômes manquent de présence. Mais c'est l’arrière-bouche qui déçoit davantage, inintéressante car peu marquée sur une faible amertume. L'alcool à 5,5% a également du mal à tenir la longueur, trop courte sur une amertume sèche. J'aurais apprécié que cette saison fasse un peu plus boom.

33 cl bottle @ home. Bottled 12.06.2019, BBE 12.06.2020 Aroma is quite mild with biscuity malt and nettles. Flavour has grainy malt, minerals, some grapefruit and very mild bretta vibes. Finishes with mild herbal hop kick. Feels like an average Belgian ale, where is the fruity saison yeast?

Bottle. Malt Attacks, Brussels. Dark straw colour. Fully hazy. Thick, sturdy, white foam. Nose has pale grain. Some lemon. Some yeasty notes. Not a ton going off. Taste is dry and light bitter. Light body. Super foamy, burp inducing carbonation. Light dry and bitter finish. Disappointingly nondescript.

Bottle at Nuetnigenough. Pale blond, lightly cloudy. Strong building bitterness, sharp. Grainy, bit of flour. Some citrus after bitterness fades. Feels quite like taras boulba. Rerate of the 2016 version. Lovely fruitiness. Classic De La Senne. Maybe like a lightly tropical zinnebir. Mango and peach. Quite dry though. Got that Belgian yeastiness. Seems I like it more this year! --- Beer merged from original tick of Saison du Meyboom on 09 Sep 2019 at 16:05 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 9 | Flavor - 9 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 9.
