Bottle. Pours nearly clear dark amber with stable, creamy beige head. Clear aroma of malt, caramel and yeast, with notes of hops. Bitter, hoppy flavour with funky and estery notes and touches of caramel malt, yeast and cinnamon. Acidic aftertaste with malty and estery touches and spicy hints. Reasonable, but perhaps a little too sour for my idea of Saison.

Can 50 cl. Pours a cloudy, nutty brown wuth a dense and creamy, beige head with good retention and leaving some lacework. Some caramel, toffee and dusty, biscuity maltiness. Solid, malty body, the roastiness getting more intensified, some bitter chokolate. A hint of bitterness in the finish. Decent. 210122

bottle hazy yellow small white head. citrussy lemongrassy aroma, belgian yeast, not entirely as herbal as most other saison beers, more sour. the yeasty note (or what I call yeasty note) is more like soap, less like herbal. flavor is wild yeasty, citrussy, slightly herbal, bitter hoppy end. reminds me of hoppy belgian ipa and belgian wit and belgian blonde. it is sort of like a saison but i think a lot more like the catch-all category we have or had at ratebeer - belgian strong ale. considering ingredients it's quite impressive the brewer hit so close to a saison flavor.

--Sample, thanks fonefan! -- Clear mahogany colour, small head. Aroma of aniseed, caramel, pears and marzipan. Dry with medium body and crisp, rounded mouthfeel. Aniseed and husky dark bread, some ripe fruits. Long balanced bitter finish. A quirky, complex and likeable beer.

Bottle 75 cl. Vague gusher. Pours an opaque Golden with a super fizzy, white head, loads of floaties. Fruity, yeasty, phenolic - brutal carbonation. Totally underwhelming. 261221

Bottle 50 cl. Pours a clear, reddish amber with a beige head. Subtle Belgian yeast in the nose, light phenols and fruit. Medium body, excessively phenollic and chemical, harsh, unpleasant and lightly tart. Close to undrinkable. 211221
