33 cl bottle, bought at Selfridge’s, London. Deep amber colour, hazy. Large head. Aroma and flavour are rather alcoholic, with caramel, brown sugar, oak and hints of barnyard. Sweetness is reasonably balanced by the hoppy bitterness, which also has some not-so-desirable metallic edges. Mouthfeel is warming and a bit peppery. An unusual beer, well worth sampling, but DIVINE?? I don’t think so - go for the Trappists in stead, they have better connections "upstairs".

Bottle: Poured a pink (very similar to grapefruit juice) beer with medium head and no real retention. Grapefruit is the only thing that is discernable. Taste is utterly horrible with some chemical juice that has very little resemblance to actual grapefruit. Another bad syrup base beer from Belgian. You gotta wonder how this county can produce some of the finest beer and the world and also such crap beer as that one.

Darkish copper-red color, small white head, lace. Nose has red currant and plums. Dry mouthfeel - berry sweetness together with dry notes of oak. Not so sweet than blonde-version, so more enjoyable. Hides 8 % very well.

Clear golden color with small white head, lace. Strong red currant aroma. Berry-like, quite full body. Sweet. Dry hoppy aftertaste. This has similarities to Silly Saison, but has more hoppy and crisp palate.

Deep "kriek" red, good brownish head. Aroma of red currant and rye bread. Full-bodied, sweetish with berries and sugar, like Grandma’s red currant juice. Some late bitterness in the aftertaste. Quite unique saison.
