Bottle picked up from Belgium a few years ago (certainly aged by me) probably 4-5 years old and consumed at home with Lynn and Barry Thursday 20th March 2025, shared with Barry. We had homemade Schnitzel and Chips for tea and listening to a playlist on Tidal that I'd put together earlier. Pours murky and quite thin looking dark brown edging towards black, however practically no carbonation and no head. Fruity, tangy and a sour stout, not a complete surprise because these guys make a very decent saison, but this for me is not that great. A little bit of dandelion and burdock in the background, it's not a bad beer but too thin, no carbonation, a little more sour than expected. Actually I am not that bothered about this, hello sink...

Tap at Hopa, thanks to the BPBW crew for this one. Yellow pour, white head. Nose is estery, malty, low fruits. Taste is low sweetness, spicy touch, estery finish. Light, dry body, lively carbonation.

Bottle shared at the InVitro bar, LCI from 2022. Nem keszitettem jegyzeteket, csak pontoztam a sort.

Bottle at home. Orangeish amber pour with a long lasting, finger-wide off-white head. Nose is intense esters, some hay, a touch of honey, vague fruityness. Taste is grainy sweetness, big esters again, even milder fruityness than in the aroma, loads of warming booze. Closes with a quickly disappearing finish, it’s boozy, sweet, estery. The body is light to medium, the carbonation is quite high. Underwhelming all in all.

Bottle shared at home w Jorge. Heavy sweetness meets weird fruit acidity and some tannins, not sure if it works for me. Full disclosure is that I was hoping and waiting for a saison, so it's partly on me I guess?

Bottle at home. Not sure what grabbed me about this to force purchase but my whims are what they are. Light yellow orange and small soapy head. Nose is lively lemony Bret and some grass. Tastes yeasty, and some fruity notes maybe fig because that what’s on my mind from reading about it, lemons, grassy, Sauvignon blanc. Refreshing. Enjoyable and nice change of pace to what I’m normally having.

Bottle from boutip. Thanks! Hazy yellow pour, small white head. Aroma is funk, wet hay, wet grass, and funky hops and wheat. Quite acicid with some subtle citrus notes along with light tropical fruit. Slightly watery mouthfeel, with a low carb. Finish is funky, slightly tart with some nice citrusy hops and yeasty esters. A very nice saison.

Clear golden pour, huge, foamy, white head. Tart, grassy wheat, light spice, some light basil, hints of cereal, and citrus. Crisp, clean mouth feel, very active carb. Lightly spicy finish, low to medium bitterness, very crisp, and very refreshing. Really nice example of an old school Belgian saison.

pours a cloudy light brown/caramel color. Aroma is slightly sour, and a little like a lambic, i’m getting some fruit, but its sour fruit. Flavour is sour, and slightly fruity. NOt sure i’m getting much fig in here, the funk is comming through, definitely an interesting beer.
