Draught Very good, whipped eggwhite-like head over fully cloudy yellow beer with an orange sheen. Fresh yeast, green herbs, pale malts. Very fresh-smelling. Bitterish, spicy. Again yeast but in the good way, no byproducts. A little bit of restsugars in the background, lemonpeel. Gristslick, obviously. Quite refreshing, medium carbonation. Excellent light beer, and for once, the moniker "Saison" is not usurped.

18/VI/20 - 33cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker), shared @ home, BB: 19/III/22 (2020-531)
Clear dark brown to black beer, big solid creamy dense irregular beige head, unstable, falls down quickly, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: nice roast, caramel, malty, coffee, grains, lots of chocolate, cocoa powder. MF: soft carbon, medium to full body. Taste: nice roast, pretty bitter, dry, coffee, cocoa powder, very bitter hops. Aftertaste: coffee grit, very roasted, slightly sourish, hoppy, bit resinous, bitter and dry finish, almost some charcoal, good stuff, malty, grains, good stuff.
