Description
De Sweynbeer brouwerij ligt op vervloekte grond. Tussen de dikke dennenbomen kropen om middernacht zwarte zwijnen uit de grond. Ze begonnen te zingen onder leiding van een zwarte draak met negen koppen. De draak was de bewaker van de schat van Keizer Karel, die daar in de buurt ergens verborgen lag. Om drie uur ’s nachts verdwenen de zwarte zwijnen om plaats te maken voor witte zwijnen, evenveel en ook gedirigeerd door een draak, alleen was deze wit en had hij zeven koppen. Voor het dag werd, kropen ze terug onder de grond.

Green-hopped saison by Sweynbeer south of Mechelen, 75 cl bottle from Delhaize Zwijnaarde shared with Joeri. Very thick, papery lacing, egg-white, foamy, stable head, hazy apricot blonde robe with beige-ish hue, turning rather murky with sediment in the end. Aroma of sawdust and dried out old bread, old crackers, dry hay, old cheese rind, dried flowers, unripe pear, pumice, minerals, some vague chlorine when warming up. Crisp onset, dryish from the start, hints of dried apricot, unripe pear and very light banana, medium carb; dry middle, nicely bready malts with a grainy edge, under strong phenolic 'activity' (clove and even that chlorine hint returning); yeasty breadiness fills the finish together with a 'wet', leafy, peppery, earthy hop bitterness with retronasal effects of damp tree leaves and dried field flowers, nicely bittering indeed - but also feeling rather 'dusty' and old, so I guess this bottle was already past its prime at the time of opening. Must have been better when it was still young, because in its basic make-up (dry, bready, spicy, effervescent, minerally) it does qualify as a decent saison to me. Too bad I did not encounter this one when it was fresher...
