75cl bottle (BB: 31/12/2023) from Rob the Gourmets’ Market in Brussels. F: medium, white, good retention. C: blonde, hazy. A: banana, peach, floral, red apples peels, honey, bit herbal. T: medium malty base, pears, banana, red apples, honey touch, bit herbal, spicy, hay, bready touch, medium to high carbonation, decent bitterness, quite nice balanced for the style, refreshing, enjoyed.

The third in a series of saisons by this new Brussels city brewery - and not to be confused with the Senne and Crooked Stave collab of the same name. Snow white, tiny-bubbled, dense, medium thick, membrane-lacing, slowly breaking but stable head on a misty apricot blonde beer with warm orangey tinge. Aroma of ripe banana, Cantaloupe, Doyenné pear, white bread, gooseberry jam, chamomile, honey, dry crackers, old orange juice, stewed apple, croissants, oatmeal porridge, vague rusty iron note. Fruity onset in a cleanish way, banana, red apple, pear and a dash of apricot or even white grape, sweetish with thin sourish edge, softish carb, slick body with extra smoothness from the oats; sugar-bready and cracker-like malts with a thin layer of honeyish residual sweetness on top, ongoing fruity and growing spicy notes (the rye, no doubt, but also phenolic clove and hoppy chamomile), working towards a neatly drying, spicy and florally hoppy finish, where the fruity effects (sweet and still sourish too) keep continuing as well. Credible as a traditionally styled Walloon saison, the Hallertau adds a pleasant and elegant touch of white fruit here, but for me it could also have brought more actual bitterness to counter the sweet element; enjoyable enough, in all.

10/IX/22 - 75cl bottle @ Belgian Beer Geek Gathering (Gent), BB: 31/XII/23 (2022-1133) Thanks to Sebletitje for sharing the bottle!

Little cloudy blond yellow beer, big creamy white head, unstable, adhesive. Aroma: very yeasty, spicy, hint of banana, herbal and a bit peppery, nice! MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: sweet start, banana, yeasty, sugary, alcohol, a bit malty, sugary, quite bland, meh. Aftertaste: yeasty, banana, sweet and sugary, a bit malty, ok.

Lacks body for 6,9% abv... Tastes like 5%. Hmmm... Makes it a descent saison with too much alcohol.

75cl bottle at Belgian Beergeeks/Brewver summer tasting at Tim's house.
BB 31/12/2023, light gusher.
Dorée/pâle, col blanc épais.
Arôme au nez rustique, effet de grains concassés, léger effet de houblons secs en rétro nasal, finement fleuri et fruité gardant un côté noble.
Palais est léger, rustique, grains pour une effervescence un peu trop haute - d'où le léger gusher, assez sèche en fin de bouche.
Pas la meilleur du style proposée par La Jungle.
