Bottiglia. All'olfatto si esprimono sentori di sour. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata e la maniera in cui permane è apprezzabile. Il mantello birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma che resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana medio-fine. La parte liquida si presenta velata. Il colore è giallo dorato brillante. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è di media potenza e c'è anche una componente moderatamente acidula. La forza gustativa è elevata. Al gusto vengono donati toni di miele, frutta secca, resina, agrumi, pompelmo rosa e ananas.

Bottle from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clearish light gold color with a full 2 fingers of foam. Musty hay, brett, horseblanket and dried citrus peel on the nose. Palate is quite similar, drying finish with lingering citrus peel and pith. Quite nice.

330mL bottled 17OCT20, drunk 7/22/21.
Good clarity in this brassy-bronze bodied beer. White head quickly dissipates.
Wow, they weren't kidding about the old lambic-like nose. Definitely smells of that with plentiful apple and Brett/lacto character. Rustic grains enter the mix keeping things dry with the green gooseberry-like acidity also on the finish. No alcohol or flaw and no clove-banana or anything obnoxious like that.
Dry and bitter in the mouth with wood tannin, light honey and other interesting grain notes. A bit wet or thin through the middle but recovering nicely with light white wine, honey and gooseberry. Funk is mild but apparent throughout and acidity is restrained, easily balancing the highly attenuated character. This is really nice. Saison character is less here than in many, obviously due to the barrel souring. But I do like that there's a substantial texture that isn't purely sugary/sweet. Has a medium body without being overly malty or thick. Still, not overly sour/acidic or anything, nor does lactic acidity dominate. Hops are restrained and everything is quite mild and balanced here.

Bottle split at L6 tasting, cheers, 09/10/19. Hazed light golden yellow with a decent off white covering. Nose is bitter orange, grass, light farmyard notes, grains. Taste comprises lemon rind, hay bale, white peppery spice, funk, yeast esters, oak, grape must. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close. Decent enough saison but I expected more from this one.

Cette Schieve saison est davantage un mix entre saison/sour/brett que réellement une saison. Je n'étais donc pas réellement à la fête. Mais en allant plus en avant que mes propres goûts, cette Schieve saison pêche par son intensité et sa longueur pas assez poussées, un passage en fût pas assez assumé et poussé, un alcool à 5,2% défaillant et au final un cocktail aromatique pas abouti. Côté visuel nous sommes sur un blond paille légèrement trouble, parcouru par de grosses bulles et surmonté d'une fine couche de mousse blanche. Le nez est sur l'acidité avec des arômes de vinaigre, de citron, de raisin, de fût (au nez celui-ci s'exprime convenablement, ce qui sera moins le cas à la dégustation), de fines épices, le tout avec un accent terroir aux accents de Brett. L'attaque est sur une acidité marquée avec des arômes d'ananas, de citron, de vinaigre, d'épices avec un léger Brett. L'astringence est notable par contre. La deuxième bouche est plus douce mais toujours astringente. On y trouve une bonne complexité. Des arômes de fût de vin blanc se font ressentir, même si ceux-ci auraient mérité d'être poussés. L’arrière-bouche est quant à elle beaucoup trop acide. Le final est décevant, moins complexe, trop court, sur le raisin et citron, sur une acidité moyenne. De la Senne sait mieux faire.

Flaska drucken på Pressklubben. Rejält funkig doft med vete, jäst, citrus och stall. Smak som doften. Lätt anslag men massor av karaktär. Lång funkig eftersmak. Fantastiskt gott
