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.

Cask at GBBF. It pours hazy straw yellow, with pretty much no head. The nose is hay, straw, spice, floral notes and dough. The taste is dough, spice, wood, leather, floral and lemon pith, with a dry, bitter finish. Medium body and fine-low carbonation. Not a bad saison, but a forgettable one.

Very hazy gold beer, thick fluffy white head. Semi crisp and semi dry palate. Creamy lagerish malt with a little light yeast. Reasonable amount of hop snap providing some grapefruit. Well joined up. Decent if unspectacular.

Initially clear golden blond colour, white head. When pooring the yeast (obviously) becoming quite hazy. Aroma of elderflower, brett, quite floral. Flavour quite bitter, astringent (probably because of the elderflowers. Dry. Quite bitter finish, light astringent and floral. Lasting bitterness. I rather like this one.

Bottle: Almost clear, visible carbonation, stable mid-sized white rocky head, flowery and yeasty nose sith a nice dash of hops in the background; quite light nodied, but almost creamy, soft moderate bitter-sweet flavour; lingering dry hoppy finish. Pretty good…

(bottle, 75cl) Hazy, pale golden colour with a big but loose blond foamy head. Yeasty-spicy grainy pale malty aroma with a flowery touch and traces of vanilla. Mildly bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a lively carbonation. Pale malt-character, slightly grainy and yeasty taste with a dry mouthfeel; moderately bitter and quite herbal hoppy finish. Fresh and pleasant. 29.II.12

Flaska köpt på Barley wine. Gyllenfärgad något disig med högt skum av små bubblor. Blommig doft med en lätt unken ton av fläder. Smaken är lätt parfymerad, växtjuicig och blommig men mest unken som en vissen blombukett eller ännu värre, vattnet den stod i. Friskt syrlig, lätt beska i eftersmaken, men de unkna tonerna dominerar.

On tap. Pours with a massive, creamy and long lasting, rocky white head with good lace. Clear golden body beneath. Aromas show a light graininess and noticeable sourness. Lightly bready, champagne grapes, poached pear, floral, and light clove phenols. A touch vegital as it warms. Flavors are tart, sour, floral and peppery. Lemon juice and poached pear notes. Grainy and lightly earthy. Medium bubbles.

330ml bottle @ Malja, Kuopio
Pours light orange with a white head. Aroma has notes of fruits, spices and earthy hops. Taste is quite spicy with notes of hops and pepper. Finish is slightly bitter and peppery. Okay, a bit too spicy saison.

750 ml. Clear yellow body. White, fizzy head, slowly diminishing. Pilsner aroma. Toasted grain, grass, floral hops, herbs. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly sweet and moderately bitter. Light to medium body, watery/velvety texture, lively carbonation. Dry finish. Taste of flowers with a hint of tart vinegar in the finish. Best way to describe this, both the aroma and flavor, is delicate. Not a bad thing. Nice for a 4.5% beer, but a bit too flowery and tart.
