Solid saison, with a bit more spices than usual, some sweetish notes as well.

Clear light amber coloured body with a nice, one centimetre tall just off-white head. Aroma of light malt, alcohol, vinegar, yeast and apples - no grassy, herbal or funky notes at all. Medium-bodied; Minor yeast and unfinished maltiness with a little sweetness of apples and pears and some noticeable bitterness. Aftertaste shows some minor malty flavours, a little alcohol and not much else - nothing saisony about this at all. Overall, a decent beer, but not much of a saison and not really worth trying, considering the options available. I would not have packed this and brought it home, had a second chance be available. I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased from Beer Mania in Bruxelles, Belgium on 19-August-2013 for €2,25 sampled at home on this side of the pond in Washington on 26-January-2014.

330ml bottle from Beermerchants. Clear golden pour, nice white head, high carbonation keeps it there. Classic yeast and white pepper aromas. Light bitter on the taste and finish. Very nice saison.

Bottle at home, from Beermerchants.com, 12/01/14. Lightly hazed golden with a good sized white head formed of bubbles. Nose is orchard fruit, straw, earthy, light citric fruit, caramel notes. Taste comprises yeast esters, hay, farmyard, citric tang, light spice. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, grassy closure with light bitterings. Ok saison, not too much depth or flavour to it, not one to revisit.

750 ml bottle. Hazy golden color, large fluffy white head with good retention. Aroma has peppery, dusty rising farmhouse bread dough. Taste is barnyard hay, very subtle lemon, light white pepper. A nice example of the style.

På Grand Place i Brussel med Kitty,hvor vi tester de tre danske basisrefleksene (røv til bænk, flaske til mund og pant til kiosk): akkurat det vi trengte etter en god vietnamesisk middag, lett tørsteslukker som glir ned uten motstand. Vesentlig bedre enn internasjonale industripilsnere som markedet drukner i.
