A true seasonal beer, as refreshing as it should be! Taste it in the summer, sitting at a terrace table. Originally, season beer was a beer brewed before the summer and intended for summer-season farmhands. It had low alcohol content and a marked bitterness that made it really refreshing.
We wanted to offer a truly seasonal Season with production limited in time. As Laurent Agache’s parents had created a cottage-type aperitif based on fresh elder tree flowers, greatly appreciated for family festivities, we have tried to use that flower for producing our Season. The elder flower, combined with the Sterling hop, was wonderful right from the first tests: the bitterness of the hops underlined by the flower brought a new and really nice freshness. The following year, shortly after the flowering of the elder tree, our Saison Cazeau was launched on the market.

On tap @Sam Beer (Rome). Dorata, leggermente torbida, schiuma bianca media, discretamente persistente. Al naso note floreali, fiori bianchi, spezie, intenso erbaceo, timo. In bocca è leggermente dolce all'attacco con finale amaro medio, lungo, erbaceo con leggera radice e spezie. Corpo medio, carbonazione media. Solidissima.

At De Republiek, Bruges. Pours hazy dark yellow with a minimal, white head. The aroma contains hops, yeast, sugar, herbs and flowers. It tastes light flowery sweet and light herbal bitter, with a dry finish. Medium body, lively carbonation, slick texture. I like the flowery accent but it lacks some more character, whilst the carbonation is overdone...

330ml bottle at Jamey’s. Pours a hazy golden with a white head. Aroma and taste are hoppy, flowery. Very similar to Belgian Triple, but less alcohol.

Bottle - Light Perfumy notes and wet grass. Hazy gold with a decent white head. Light grassy and peppery notes with a nice finish. Reminds me of what saisons are supposed to like.

330mL bottle, pours a hazy golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out floral notes, Belgian yeast, and light hay. Flavour is quite complex, with Belgian yeast, hay, and light floral notes. Quite a bit better than expected -- like a traditional saison should be. Solid stuff.

A bit darker than golden, quite hazy. Huge and frothy but not very stable head, some lacing. Aroma is fruity (melon, exotic fruits) and flowery with a hint of spiciness. Not very bright. Taste is a bit more vivid. Sweet entrypoint with exotic fruits, lemon and flowers, herbal freshness, again a bit of spiciness in the background. Slight earthy in the finish, which is dry with a touch of bitterness. Light and easy body with a good amount of carbonation, smooth but still pleasantly lively. Fairly good
