Hazy blond with thin head. Aroma and flavour have intense fruity hop. Fresh and easy to drink. Lots of flavour.

Bottle picked up from Bierhalle Deconinck, Vichte, West Flanders, Belgium. Had this Sunday 29th April 2018 whilst cooking Chicken with Thyme and Lemon and Smashed Garlic Potatoes. Pours a dark brown colour with a mid sized tan head.Fruity on the nose and in the mouth, though a combination of dried water fruit, banana and sweet orange. Nice beer. A7 A4 T7 P3 Ov15 3.6

Bottle picked up Dranken Vande Woude, Pervijde Diksmuide, West Flanders, Belgium, had this Sunday 29th April 2018 whilst getting ready Chicken with Thyme and Lemon and Smashed Garlic Potatoes and a Fig Marscapone Ice Cream for dessert. Pours black or almost black with a big foamy off white head. More BIPA than Saison but, the yeast does add a little spice and it is quite refreshing. A little roasty and hoppy at the same time, fruity with a pleasant tangy bite. Like this. A7 A4 T7 P4 Ov15 3.7

Cloudy dark brown colour with thin head. Aroma and flavour have a real mix of spicy yeast, bitter, grassy hop and dark sweet malts. Light funk in the finish.

Hazy blond colour with thin head. Aroma and flavour are dominated by herbal 'gale'. Too soapy and medicinal for me.

Sampled @ Zythos Bier Festival 2018. A hazy pale golden beer. Aroma of tart grapes, yellow fruits, some herbs. Taste of garden fruits, berries, grapes, banana, yeast.

Slightly cloudy gold yellow beer, creamy solid off-white head, little stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: very floral, lavender, bit malty, barn yard. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: very floral, nice bitterness, bit fruity, orange peel, bit sour, nice! Aftertaste: soft bitterness, lavender, floral, some citrus, grapefruit, orange peel.

Siphon's coffee saison, made with Congolese coffee added in three different ways (see above). Lots of smoke coming out of the bottle upon opening, slow gusher as well but perfectly manageable. Towering high, very frothy, irregular, egg-white, slowly collapsing head leaving behind a huge amount of thick, papier maché-like lacing, sitting atop a lightly hazy pale orange-hued peach blonde beer. Aroma of raw coffee beans but cooked green beans as well, lots and lots of unpleasant, very stinky DMS (overcooked green cabbage), white bread, unripe peach, straw, peanuts, unripe banana, cranesbill leaves. Fruity onset in a restrained kind of way, green banana, green apple and hard pear notes, some light apricot but very low in sweetness, very spritzy, sharpish carbonation adding a strong artificially carbonated mineral water-like effect, dryish middle, old white bread and raw grains, with an overall sourish effect heavily accentuated by the minerally carbonation; light spicy phenolic and near plastic-like notes overpowered by retronasal DMS (I really hate that), some green coffee bean astringency but nothing of the aromatic coffee quality I was hoping for, with a leafy, grassy hop bitterness below. Ends dry, sourish, hop bitterish and as minerally as it began. Weird beer, I can accept the saison designation in terms of spritziness, quenching qualities, dryness and restrained fruitiness, but I was hoping for more aromatic, actual coffee rather than a raw, green coffee bean quality - and I really can't stand DMS, certainly not in this degree. Very disappointing in spite of its originality, this is probably Siphon's poorest beer to date at least for me personally. This brewer can do a lot better.

Bottle shared at THT April. Hazy dark golden with off white head. Apple, ash, lots of smoke, cigarette smoke, sweet malts, herbs, light toasty malts. Medium sweet, bitter and bodied. Noooooot my thing.

Nice. Smoke m if you got m. --- Beer merged from original tick of Stinker on 14 Apr 2018 at 12:53 - Score: 7
