Bottle. A small, dense, off-white head forms over an unclear, golden-orange body. The aroma is piney, peppery, grassy and resiny, with pale malts in the back. Quite fruity. It’s medium to full-bodied, with a tad too much carbonation. Semi-dry. It has a nice flavor too, with pine cones, resins and a peppery yeasty touch. Some pale malts and bitterness. Lasting fruity finish with a pepper touch in the back. A tasteful and pleasant one. A bit less carbonation would do good though. 150227

Stark karbonisierter, hefig bitterer Antrunk. Vor allem die Bitterkeit steigt deutlich, direkt dahinter ebenfalls intensiv herb. Die Hefigkeit wird trocken, die Ausbreitung von Aromen wird unterbunden. 8/7/6/7/9/7

Bottle 330ml (Alko)
Murky orange color, small white head. Grainy and slightly fruity and spicey aroma. Medium-bodied, although front is quite watery. Mellow fruityness, then white pepper and decent amount of hops for a saison (perhaps Bruuveri’s fingerprints are here). Yes, it is a Saison but there is something which disturbs me. Maybe it is that sweetish yeasty flavor.

330ml bottle from Alko
Pours orange with a small white head. Aroma of yeast, spices, floral notes, hints of fruits and hops. Taste is crisp, yeasty and spicy with some floral notes and musty ripe fruitiness. Finish is musty, a bit stuffy and yeasty with some spices, floral notes and grass. Not as good as the Bruuveri prototypes.

Draught @ Bruuveri. Rated on 04.01.2015
as ”Saison de la Maison”, the version brewed at Bruuveri
Aroma has mandarin and some yeasty tones. Flavour has grapefruit, funky yeasty tones, mandarin, orange and mellow grassy tones. Clean, refreshing and nice. I heard that this will be the version sold in Alko. It will be brewed by Saimaa though.

An slightly orange colour, a head is almost medium and blond. The aroma is fruitful, strong sourness, spices, lemon and some yeast. Taste is also strongly sour, citrusfruits, dry herbal earthyness, also bitterness. Medium bodied, nice and fresh to drink. Quite good, saison of sour style.

Tap@ Bruuveri 10.01.15. Hazy amber, lasting white head. Spicy, fruity, yeasty aroma, citrusy. Belgian yeast, citrus, spicy stuff, sweet fruity and quite smooth mouthfeel, being dry at the same time, especially the finish. Decent. 737414
Rerate, 33 cl bottle. Unclear amber colored, thick white head. Floral, spicy, Belgian yeasty aroma. Flavor has citrusy notes, floral, peppery spiciness. Dry finish. Orange notes. Even better than I remember it being on tap. 837415

(Keg at Bruuveri, 20150109) The beer poured golden and hazy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had spices, black pepper, fruitiness and yeast. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were spices, fruitiness, banana, mild sourness, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was spicy, sweet and bitter. A tasty spicy saison. The recipe used was more or less the same as in Bruuveri Saison de la Maison #1.
