Commercial Description:
Formerly known as Sebourg beer, this was rebaptized Saint Druon de Sebourg in 2000.
Malted barley and 3 varieties of hops grown in Alsace form the basis of this recipe, which, unlike Duyck’s other beers, also contains wheat from the Beauce region of France, milled in the traditional way by Sebourg’s miller. And to give it an even more distinctive flavour, the Duyck’s use a specific strain of yeast exclusive to the beer.
St. Druon de Sebourg is the French version of a blonde abbey ale, similar in style to those found across the nearby border in Belgium. It is spicy and effervescent, and much hoppier than typical bière de garde.

Pretty bland. Not much in the way of flavor or aroma. Perchance you may happen upon some malt in a sunlit meadow, but verily I say to you that any thought of flavor is gone in a fleeting moment of whimsical hesitation. Sooth this is my word.

Draught at TND: Aroma of light herbs, light pale malts, slight grass, and slight yeast. Poured yellow/gold in color with a small, off-white head that lasted throughout. Clear. Sparkling. No lacing. Flavor is lightly sweet. Tastes of yeast, pale malts, slight honey, and slight herbs. Medium body. Tingly, lightly dry texture. Lively carbonation. Lightly sweet, herbal, yeasty finish is lightly dry.

Well this one was different. I thought it was a bit bland, and quite unintrusive upon the palate, if one would. Verily I say to you that there was a bit malt, yeast, and hops in this one. Pip Pip.

Draft at Mike and Molly’s In Champaign IL. Pours a hazy gold with a white head. Aroma of yeast and belgian phenols. Lighter side of medium bodied with an earthy mouthfeel. Flavor of hay, dough, honey, and medicinal phenols. Ok, but nothing worth repeating.

750ml from Once Upon a Time, Richmond. Golden to orange pour, with pretty minimal carbonation and almost no retention whatsoever. Slight diacetyl in the nose along with some pretty typical fruits and a bit of hefe character. Mouthfeel is watery, very little substantial here. A bit of grain in the taste to go with the pretty generic fruity flavors. I’m thinking this isn’t the freshest bottle, and perhaps some hop liveliness would benefit the beer.

Light aroma of fruit and spices. Had a very nice taste of spices, wheat, and some yeast. An interesting beer.

Bottled. Pours honey colored with a small white head. Aroma is slightly sour with some skunk notes. Reminds me of a Grolsch with some funky nutsack and barnyard notes. Flavor is sweet malts that get more sweet as you drink. Medium malt body.

Bottle. Pours hazy dark yellow with a small, frothy, white head, somewhat lasting with spare lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (bread, meal, straw), light hop (flowers, grass), heavy yeast (dough, horse blanket) with notes of banana, pepper, and butter. Medium bodied, creamy texture, average carbonation, and a chalky finish. Average duration, light sweetness, acidity, and bitterness.
