(Bottle 33 cl) Hazy, amber golden with a dense, off-white head leaving some lacework. Very spicy aroma - basil? Quite a full body with sweetish, fruity notes, caramel and spices with a subdued hop bitterness. Quite interesting. 180907

33 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a white head. Yeasty nose, slight bitter hops aroma. Flavour is caramel sweet with a slight yeast flavour and some spice note. Dry spiced finish with a persisting yeast flavour, presumably so dominant because the bottle has been slight stirred.

Cloudy golden color; creamy head. Soma aroma of malt, candi sugar, sweet caramel, butter, some alcohol. Good body structure, with good malt flavor, sweet, and a clear fudge touch too; distinctive and very good Strong Belgian Ale.

Bottle at Moeder Lambic. Hazy copper colour with lasting thin off white head. Nice hoppy saison with an odd herb which is l’asperule. Very pleasant, full bodied and tea notes.

(Bottle, Monk’s Café, Stockholm) Dark brown colour with firm beige head. Malty, spicy nose with dark fruit, ginger biscuits, cinnamon and coriander seed. Malty taste with dark fruit, chocolate, hints of coffee, spicy notes of cinnamon and coriander. Slightly sweetish, but balanced. Nice brune, above average for the style.

Draught at Moeder Lambic, Bruxelles
Cloudy orange-amber color. The aroma has some dry caramel, light spices, some sweetness, maybe the figs too, leaving a light woody and fruity trace. The mouthfeel is good, also because it’s quite sweet, with some malt and sweet caramel flavor; the figs add some complexity, like sweet and young oak wood, not much fruitness. At the end there is a respectable bitterness, interesting mostly for revealing itself at the right moment, after the taste. Good and original.

Bottle: Poured a murky light yellow with a bubbley white head. Sour citrus aroma with a hint of wheat. Bitter sour citrus taste that finishes dry and hoppy harvest.

Bottle Murky orange-amber body. Ecru-yellow, creamy head. Very nice and quite intense aroma of smoke, flowers, hops, citrus, american hops, caramel malts, ... great! Moderately bitter, lightly sweet initial flavour. A little bit sweeter in the end. Flavour of caramel, fruits, flowers and some spices. Very nicely well balanced flavour with a decent complexity. Although maybe somewhat too strong for a saison, it is very lovely. I really like this one. Maybe not the greatest or most complex one, but it’s great in balance.
