Bottle from Drinks Vanuxeem, Ploegsteert, Belgium. Pours a hazy golden/amber colour with a slightly muddy look and a large fluffy white head. Aromas of yellow fruits, bananas, floral, a touch of herbal and a little spice. Taste has lots of peppery spice, more yellow fruits coming through, more floral and herbal and a very mild earthy hop on the finish. Nicely balanced beer. Medium body and fairly low carbonation. Very decent Blonde beer and much better than their Tripel i had earlier.
Bottle from Drinks Vanuxeem, Ploegsteert, Belgium. Pours a hazy amber colour with a large thick creamy off-white head. Light aromas of yellow fruits, marzipan and peppery spice. Taste is quite boozy with marzipan, butterscotch, peppery spice and more warming alcohol throughout. Caramel and brown sugar also on a sweet sticky finish. Not much fruitiness on the palate. Medium to full body, fairly low carbonation and smooth sticky mouthfeel. Alcohol very present and not very well hidden. A bit messy with no real balance and also too sweet and cloying for me personally. Looks nice but ultimately a bit disappointing.

500ml can picked up at St Bernardus brewery during a bike ride. Drunk at home whilst hearing the death of the Queen. Generally clear gold, good white head. Softly sweet lager profile with an unexpected but welcome Belgian yeastiness coming into view, distant citrus fruits. Really nice this.

Burk från Hopt. Klar ljusgul vätska med lågt vitt skum. Väldigt lik en industrilager. Trist smakbild med lite majs och säd. Borde nog heta något annat……

This is a 750 cage and cork finished bottle. The aromas are malty sweet with yeast and a little spice. Good body and bottle-conditioned carbonation. A little sweeter than my preferred kind of saison but just enough yeast with some spicy pepper to help balance. Traditional saison finish. Very nice beer.
