Bottle. Color: Slightly hazy golden, large white head. Aroma: Malty, Saison yeast. Taste: Malty, bit grainy. Light hints of stone fruit. Spicy yeasty notes. Some floral hopbitterness coming in towards the finish. Finishing with a nicely balanced and bit spicy mix of malt, yeast and hop. Moderate sweet, light hopbitterness going to moderate at the dry-ish finish. Just over medium body, just below average carbonation, Another great Belgian beer from this nice brewery.

375ml corked and caged green bottle. Pours a murky amber orange with a large, foamy, long lasting, off-white head that leaves thick, soapy curtains of lace. Aroma of caramel malt, funky yeast, orange and herbal hops. Sweet fruity flavour of caramel malt, orange, peach, white grape, musty yeast, clove and floral hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Nice complexity and ABV is well hidden.

Cork and caged 375ml bottle from Sophie's Beer Store: BBE of 2026. Drank at home on 23rd April 2023. I managed to keep all the sediment in the bottle and was rewarded by a clean and clear golden body, decent white crown on top too. Belgian farmyard aroma and taste with some sweetness in the mix. It's a lovely beer and a great start to a mini tasting I had with myself.

0.75 l bottle from 'Etre Gourmet', best before end of 2025. Clear, very dark ruby to black with a large, frothy, slowly diminishing, beige head. Sweetish-malty, quite roasty, slightly fruity aroma of dark chocolate, coffee, some ash, licorice and dark fruits. Quite sweet, malty, fairly roasty, slightly fruity taste of dark chocolate, coffee, licorice, caramel, roasted hazelnut and some dark fruits, followed by a medium long, quite roasty-bitter, moderately dry finish. Medium body, fairly effervescent mouthfeel, lively carbonation. Interesting Stout, fairly Belgian, nice variation. Very unexpected from such a Saison-focused brewery.

An amber beer, a head is medium and blond. Aroma has riped fruitness, sweetness of dried fruits, spicyness. Taste has fruitness and spicyness apricot. Medium+ bodied. I waited a more complex beer, this is now pretty straightforward and simple.

0.75 l bottle from ''t Biermenneke', best before end of 2024. Hazy, luscious orange with a large, foamy, stable, off-white head. Sweetish, sourish, slightly fruity and gently funky aroma of hay, grains, sour cherry and light horse blanket. Gently sweet, moderately sour, slightly yeasty, rather fruity and moderately funky taste of grains, hay, sour cherry, rubber, iron and a touch of horse blanket, followed by a short, gently tart, moderately woody-dry finish. Medium body, fairly effervescent mouthfeel, very lively carbonation. Not a big fan of this brewery, the rubber-like flavours regularly put me off. However, it works in this one, probably due to the cherries. Decent beer for sure.
