Full bodied, light oily feel, semi drying close with a lick of booze.
Tidy sipper.

Bottled 6 years ago. Loads of blueberry, fruit galore. I don't get much Saison at this point, but a delicious little fruit tipple.

Aus der Flasche (bbe 30.08.2025) im 2025-12 getrunken. In dieser Version der Serie "Sour for the Soul" kann sich die Frucht nicht so deutlich in der Vordergrund stellen und versteckt sich hinter der wieder einmal tollen Fassreifung. Auch alles andere ist hier dann doch wieder wunderbar. Der Säuregehalt und der Körper sind sehr harmonisch und passen zu diesen Sour Ale hervorrangend.

Draught @ De Mederie. Misty pale complexion. Characterful floral Perry pear aroma with interesting floral pear fruit throughout, a little milky perhaps, soft palate with a gentle bitter tang finishing off. Lovely.

Draught @ De Mederie. Pours a reddish amber with a faint mist. An apt cider for today. Fruity blueberry nose, wild air. Quite a robust acidic tang from the start here, sharp wild blueberry, natural wild nuances, long acidic linger. Lovely.

10cl bottle pour @ De Mederie. Clear deep purple appearance. Rich stewed dark fruits on the nose, continuing to taste a touch syrupy, sticky with light honey drifting through.. bags of flavour overall.

10cl pour @ De Mederie. Pours a clear deep purple. Rich dark berry fruitiness on the nose. Flavour profile is similarly intense with stewed dark fruits and non-imposing honey swirls, richly sweet overall with light red wine nuances emerging in due course. Great sipper.

Draught @ De Mederie. Pours blood red with a fine mist. No head, strangely. Medium bodied. Excellent wild nuances complemented by a mild blueberry presence. Best of the afternoon.
