Huge fluffy head, just lemon-yellow tinted, irregular, over fully hazy (unripe) lemon yellow beer, and a good collection of UFO’s. Wheat, farmyard odours, vineleaves, bit of citrus. Citrus, lemon, herbal, garden herbs, little smoked touch, little point of acidity. In the finish, traces of ginger and lavender. Spritzy, thirst-quenching, vivifiant , light, inciting to drink (a lot) more. This is, eyes closed, the best REAL Saison I’ve tasted in years. This is short of sensational, and that from France!

Bottle from La Cave à Bulles, Paris
Blond color, with an incredible amount of big bubbles; hence, a frothy head, disappearing quickly. It has an unexpected aroma, of cellar, citrus fruits, light hop. Quite dry mouthfeel, with light malt flavor, high bitterness, pleasant Bretts and a touch of lemon peel. Thirst quenching; unique in France.

Bottled. A hazy dark amber beer with a thin rim of beige head. The aroma is sweet acidic and metallic combined with oxydized notes and over ripe fruit. The flavor is sweet and rather acidic with notes of over ripe fruit and metal, leading to a dry bitter, metallic, and woody finish. The body is watery thin.

(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of Hildigöltur. Pours a hazy, amber golden with an off-white head. Lightly tart, berry-like nose. Medium body with tart, fruity accents - actually some Brett i believe. Dry and lightly sour finish. A nice surprise. 100507

Bottle, 75cl corked. (thx to papsoe) Unclear, golden-brown pour with a small beige head on top. Acidic and sour aroma with some raspberry-like aromas and citrus. Acidic, lightly vinous flavor with raspberry and citrus note. Astringent, medium mouthfeel and a lemony finish. Oxidiced on purpose? It’s a strange, but in a way nice beer. (070510)
