I Draught /I Good, dense, faintly amberish head, retreating over veiled orange-amber beer. Faintly sourish, hint indeed at Bretts, bit barnyard odours and yet De Koninck yeast. Again sourish, if very mild, mild roast. Lots of De Koninck, yet Brett obvious. Faintly nutty flavour, as well as fruity esters. Quite balance, has a metallic iron flavour that immediately struck a bell from times immemorial. Light, slick to faintly viscous even. Feels much better carbonated than it looks. This is one I like more and more, as it the renaissance of the real Saison d'antan - it is the spitting image of the Saison de Voisin when it came from Flobecq/Vloesberg, if just a tad stronger. OTOH, I really can't find the Calvados.
