Bottle. Golden color. Floral aroma, malty witha hint of white pepper. Malty sweetish, slightly herbal floral flavor. Orange peel, marmelade. Fairly dry finish.

Slightly hazy golden coloured body with a copper glow and a thinnish centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of grass, a good amount of yeast, wheat, light sugars and apples - no realy hay or grassy notes at all. Medium-bodied; Assertive malt flavours with some apples, pears, biscuits and little else - fairly plain tasting with no real defined hop, grass or spice characteristics, that you might expect. Aftertaste shows some light sweetness from fruit and a good deal of body from the malt, but that’s about it. Overall, a fairly disappointing beer for the style, but an average beer overall with nothing standing out nor offensive throughout. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from West Lakeview Liqours in Chicago, Illinois on 14-November-2015 for US$8,95 sampled a few hours after returning from West LakeView, at home in Washington on 12-May-2016.

Medium, reasonably stable yellowish head, fed by finely carbonated metallic-orange beer. Very fruity nose, with a.o. pineapple, unfortunately very fleetingly, leaving jenever, a bit of human sweat, dried herbs and above all, coriander. In the taste only a corianderbomb remains, with the fake citrus. Alas, yet another one. Bit sticky MF, quite slick, long-lasting flavours. I’m really getting tired of these pseudo-Saisons. As if a double dose of coriander makes a beer Belgian...
