Bottle, courtesy of Douberd, many thanks! Hazy orange color with huuge white head. Aroma is fruity-hoppy, then a fresh yeast spiciness, vineous, a bit phenolic, then bananas and other sweet tropical fruits, maybe also orange/citrus peel. Taste is spicy, sweetish-fruity, then the spices take over again, junipers, spruce and resin. Could be drier, but I like this take on it as well. Good and soothing stuff.

Bottle @ weekly tasting shared with Joes and Dutchdrebus. Hazy light orange color, average sized off-white head. Smell and taste malts, quite fruity, yeasty, orangepeel, decently bitter, light funk, not as dry as you’d expect from a sasison, but in the end I quite like it. Might not be a saison officially, but I like this. Nice beer.

33cl Bottle at Café Hesp. Hazy golden yellow colour, white head. Aroma of a bit of butter, green apples, yeast, dusty, light malty, some citrus, light floral. Flavour is also light buttery, hint of green apples, light sweet, dry, dusty, lemon, floral, light yeasty, not too spicy, more herbal, dry bitter finish. Light to medium bodied. A few small errors imho, but definitely has potential.

Bottle @ weekly tasting shared with Dutchdrebus and Joes. Clear golden color, medium sized white head. Aroma is lightly grassy but mostly soapy. Appears too young.. Taste malts, a bit dusty, a bit old hops, quite firm bitter. Hmm too bad, think the base is ok but it’s either too young or needs some tweaking.
