Description
First of all, Belgian beers have an edge on everyone else, just by being historically rooted in a centuries-old tradition of quality ingredients and a passion for brewing a balanced bouquet of flavours.

Belgium isn’t the biggest place on the map, but if it’s premium beers you’re looking for, this is definitely the best place to be. Great taste from a small country.

Gigant taps into these powerful traditions to take beer into the new now, with an innovative approach to surprising ingredients, creating a sophisticated, cosmopolitan palate.

Pale golden colour with thin head. It's a clean Tripel and presence of the Saison yeast is noticeable and very nice. There's a mild salty element but I cannot identify samphire or seaweed though.
