Easy-going and refreshing blonde with reasonable hop character. Squat 33 cL bottle at Poechenellekelder says Brasserie de Tubize. Not clear to me whether or this is still being brewed by Senne at De Ranke. Doesn’t matter. Pours a bright gold with nice, persistent, lacy head. Nose is grainy, farmy, hoppy--actually smells like an archetypal saison, for what it’s worth. Some lemon and grapefruit notes in the aroma too. Tastes moderately bitter with that citrus backdrop, some bready aspects there too. Refreshing, characterful, excellent.

Apr 4, 2008 <i>Bottle</i> Clear, blond body. White, rocky head with a good lace. Aroma of flowers, honey and hops (nicely balanced). Lightly sweet, lightly bitter flavour. Decent beer, but not very complex.

Sep 26, 2006 Blonde body with a large white head. Spices and barnyard on the nose. Very yeasty/fruity beer with plenty of spices flavours. Pineapples, coriander and more. Weird finish (not unpleasant, just weird) with some acidity, dry hops, brett?, whatever. Easy to drink light and unusual Belgian session beer. That’s one I would need to re-taste a few times to know what I really think of it. Not easy to come by but I betcha I’m gonna get me some Betchard.
