Zomersaion is a blend of Fantôme saison with 1 and 2 year old lambic. Fantôme saison brings white pepper phenolic aroma to the blend and a distinctive ester profile reminiscent of stone fruits. The lambic fermented the saion bone dry and added a touch of acidity. The barrels this beer was aged in define the "zomer" (summer) character of the beer. Zomersaion 2017 was aged in 2 different barrels, both freshly emptied fruit lambic barrels. One barrel contained Kriek 2016, the other barrel was used for maceration of Pjassel 2017. The barrels gave the saion lambic blend a fruity touch, while no fruit was added to the beer. Gotta love working with barrels :) Bottled in December 2017

Pours a clear amberblonde. Small white head. Scent is a bit aged, not as gracefully as most bokke's kept. Taste is tart, full on body and maltyness. Mild spicyness from the saison. Very smooth blend, gentle geuze. High carbonation. Not bad at all. Less complex perhaps, but that works very well for the drinkability.

Probably the least interesting for me this festival, but still damn good. Might have gotten overshadowed by the rest. Very subtle and soft beer, lots of funk, lots of wood, and a light fruityness. Nicely sour, no sharpness.
