2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bouteille de 650ml embouteillée le 24 octobre 2012. Bière orangée trouble avec une mousse épaisse de gaz carbonique. Au nez du malt caramel, du chocolat, des fruits surets, des cerises style Cherry Blossom. Beaucoup de levure fruitée au nez. Une bouche en chocolat et caramel. Texture mince boosté au gaz carbonique. Finale poussiéreuse avec des notes acides.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Une bière offerte par solidfunk. Thanks! Embouteillée le 24 octobre 2012. Une robe plutôt rousse qui développe une mousse contaminée. Au nez, des malts biscuités et du caramel à travers des effluves de cerises surettes et des houblons qui suintent les herbes vertes. Au goût, un retour fruité qui fait légèrement grimacer. Une touche chocolatée à travers la base maltée caramélisée. Une certaine acidité : sont-ce les houblons ou la levure ou autre chose? En bouche, un liquide au corps plutôt léger. Une texture qui flirte avec l’eau. Un pétillement qui chamboule. Une finale qui propose une acidité palpable. Difficile d’approche dès les premiers instants, cette «Saison» se dévoile intéressante dans la deuxième moitié de la dégustation.

Bottle (650 ml). Thanks to John! Hazy brown with a medium beige head. No lacing. Aroma of berries, cherries, caramel, spices... interesting but not really what I expect from a Saison. Taste is moderately sweet and slightly acidic with caramel, berries, spices and a medium herbal bitterness finish. Medium body. In my opinion, this beer isn’t right on style, but it still interesting and drinkable (even if little heavy). It worth a try.

Medium brown color. Peppery, cherries, estery, mandarin oranges and a bit of sponge cake in the nose. Slightly tart, earthy character with a fair amount of hoppiness. Very well balanced, Slight to moderately bitterness with cherries and wood character. Great depth, great balance. Fantastic.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Light brown amber. Nutty, caramel malts, tobacco, pumpernickel or some sort of bread. Rye? Pretty bitter. Decent saison
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
November 20, 2012 - on draught at the brewpub. Lovely - hazy rosy gold, average rocky beige head. Smells like a simple sweet dubbel - yeast, caramel, spice, some alcohol - not very estery. Taste follows, but a welcome addition of dry herbal bitterness, maybe a hint of cocoa - still a little fruity, more apple than banana. Thick, chewy, airy but not fizzy - sweet and malty, quick-finishing, a little mineral in the aftertaste - a solid beer.

[4962-20121120] Tap. Odd vegetal leaf grains aroma. Hazy, bright red body with a long-lasting foamy off-white head. Bitter lemongrass flavour has a bit of a fruity note. Medium body has a dry finish. Interesting Belgian yeast but is a little dry for me. (7/3+/7/3/15) 3.5
