Chamomile-flavoured saison by this Dutchman-operated brewery in the German-speaking part of Belgium, launched in spring 2021 and brewed with not only barley but wheat, rye and oats as well. Thanks tderoeck for sharing. Snow white, moussy, lightly lacing, unstable and breaking head, initially clear ‘old gold’ robe with vague metallic-orangey tinge, misty with sediment. Weird aroma of old oxidized champagne, old worn-out felt mats, oxidized apple slices, green pear, rubber, white bread, Maitrank – generally speaking, a lot of ageing in a beer which should not have been this old, and a lot of chamomile, making me wonder how strong this ingredient must have been when the beer was still young. Fruity onset, sweet with hints of ripe pear, apple and sweet white grapes, fizzy carbonation, smooth body; bit dryish middle, cereally and white-bready malts carrying, again, this unexpected but very strong flavour of old stale champagne and Maitrank – this effect must be related to the chamomile again, but in a distorted kind of way. Spicy hop bitter note in the tail. Very bizarre saison with flavours and aromas which I doubt were intentional – should have been consumed younger, in any case, so I will give it the benefit of the doubt for now, even though it certainly does not strengthen my already feeble confidence in this brewery, on the contrary…

Bottle from Rond Point, Malmedy. Hazy golden colour, white foam. Floral, citrussy and bitter saison. Refreshing and dry.

Bouteille 33cl, BB 05/2022.
Dorée blonde, col épais blanc-cassé.
Arôme présente un bouquet frais et rustique - note clairement les effluves de grains/céréales, le tout assez plaisant - rétro-nasal fleuri avec la camomille qui apporte une petite note douce parmi les malts. Malt noble ponctué par un côté fleuri printanier.
Palais est sec, retrouve un côté rustique plaisant sous couvert d'une pointe fleuri de camomille. Une saison qui varie les malts - avec apport de seigle pour un léger effet épicé. Définitivement un caractère fleuri champêtre. Effet poussiéreux grains sur la fin avec cette présence fleurie
