De iconische stamvader van het gamma is altijd effe anders geweest. Dat was zo in 1897, dat is nog steeds zo in 2020. Een helder goudblond bier van hoge gisting met een heel redelijke 6% alcohol. Frisse toetsen van citrus en hop. Een atypische Belgian Blond, echt effe anders!

From old tasting notes. Clear, bright gold color with small bubble carbonation leading to a dense creamy off white head. Fragrant fruity malt nose. intense hop character in foretaste dominates the palate. Bittersweet malty finish and aftertaste with a hint of dry hoppiness. Not as complex as some Belgian ales, but very well hopped and full bodied. Quite good.

Classic Limburg ale, one of the very few from Martens which are commercialized under their own name; the name of the beer refers to the Wallonian saison tradition. Rating from old notes. Peach blonde with medium, off-white head; sweetish fruitiness (pineapple, peach, apple peel), bready and somewhat caramelly maltiness, yeasty touch, lightly sourish accent actually enhancing drinkability, herbal hop bitterishness in the finish. Nothing very complex, but balanced and relatively refined for such an old school beer, as well as very quenching. Liked this when I tasted it ten or twelve years ago, but I’ll retaste it just to be sure as it may have changed meanwhile.

Taster from draft at au phare . Pours unclear , light orange . Good , cloudy white head . Smell is heavy on coriander . Taste is spiced ( coriander ) yet very common . If anything , it reminds of blanche de namur . Bit sweet , but in blalance . Certainly ok .

Draft @ Le Bier Circus. Crystal-clear, solid white head, very clean golden, looks too filtered, tad industrial. Taste is lightly malty, grains, iron bitter, light bitterness, light yeast and fake lemon, fake, industrial, it feels over-filtered and overdone, light EU hops, quite artificial. Too light, too clean, tad corn or something mouthfeel. Not too good, closer to a pale lager in feel than apparently a saison for me. Wow a 1/100 style saison.
