Bottle from local Delhaize in Sint-Amandsberg. Pours clear amber, reddish, with an unstable, small, frothy, off-white head. Aroma of rose water, almond, red apple, caramel, green & chamomille tea, pomegrenate, red berries, plum jam, pepper. Medium fruity sour onset, red apple, berries & plum; malty hints of caramel & nuts provide the basis for a light herbal bitterness, outspokenly tea-like but an early grapefruit-like hop character shows up. Dry, herbal & piney hoppy finish, lingering grapefruit peel, almond, red fruit. Medium body, slick texture, lively carbonation. Surprisingly bitter & hoppy, which is a good thing, nice 'red' tones, keeping the balance between a Saison and an Amber Ale.
