330 ml bottle. Pours a hazy gold with lots of suspended sediment and a light head. Aromas of coriander, dry citrus, wheat and a bit of white pepper. Flavors follow same with additional vegetal notes which may not be out of style. Doesn’t look too good but it’s tasty.

330 ml bottle. Pours a dark mahogany with moderate head. Aromas of bread crust, old socks and a bit of caramel with vegetal notes. Flavors of doughy malts, metallics, caramel and some dark fruit. A Saison can be anything, and this one is definitely different from the average Belgian.
