Brewed with the same base recipe as all our ‘seasonal saisons’ follow, L’Hiver has been infused with hawthorn leaves and berries to give a most wintery feel to the beer – an almost barren taste (in a good way!) Our use of Brettanomyces and Lactobacillus yeasts ensure this beer continues to develop in flavour.

On tap at Carnivale Brettanomyces ’16. At In de Wildeman. Murky golden colour, white head. Aroma is spicy saison yeast, fennel seeds/caraway, fruit esters. Flavour is dry, floral, light spicy, more like a classic saison than the aroma. Good. Light bodied.

Sampled from tap at ’In de Wildeman’ during Carnivale Brettanomyces 2016. Hazy, straw yellow with a white head. Slightly funky, a little fruity-grassy aroma of lemon peel, some ginger and straw. Slightly bitter, a little funky and a bit fruity-grassy taste of lemon peel, grapefruit, ginger and straw, followed by a medium long, slightly bitter and a little tart finish. Thin to medium body, slightly effervescent and a little spritzy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Nice!

Thanks to Travlr! Sampled draft @ In De Wildeman. I thought that I had this one before. Oily with mellow herbal & pine notes, lemon, plenty of bread here, grain. Touch bland but decent, could be more expressive. Still not entirely getting the hype that this brewery gets in the UK.

Keg at Evening Star, Brighton. It pours lightly hazy gold with a medium white head. The nose is straw, spicy, rich orange citrus, tangerine, brett and some of Irn Bru even. The taste is crisp, clean, bitter, straw, pepper, wood, rather great brett character, stewed orange, tangerine, grapefruit and minerals with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Crisp,tasty and very, very drinkable. Another absolute winner from Burning Sky!
