Saison spiced with annual mugwort, a Chinese wormwood type used in medicine. Draft at Foeders in Amsterdam during Carnivale Brettanomyces. Cobweb-lacing, beaten egg-like frothy, very thick and stable, dense head on a hazy straw blonde beer with golden hue, looking quite like a witbier. Aroma of raw garden herbs (the annual mugwort without a doubt) even descending in raw white cabbage-like territory as is often the case in beers using green plant material, notes of wormwood indeed (grapefruit-ish), white bread, unripe pear, raw pineapple, hay, green banana. Crisp, fruity onset, pear, pineapple, sweetish with lively carb, rounded cereally, bready and bit grainy, straightforward pale malt sweetishness, drying finish with a floral and grassy character not just from the hops, but obviously established by the annual mugwort as well, adding a soft spicy, bit ‘green’ bitterness without becoming too pronounced. The herb used would be unrecognisable as such here, but it does add a green, spicy, bitter quality different from what you normally get in what is essentially a Belgian style blonde rather than a modern farmhouse ale. Drinkable, quenching and agreeable enough but like other Nevel Artisan Ales, it fails to fully impress me.
