Confused by the low score on this one. Got one of the few bottles that made it to MO & while it didn’t redefine the style, it was pretty darn good. Pours golden / light copper with a good sized white head. The aroma has nectar fruit, spice, saison yeast and light toast - very pleasant. Medium / full body that is quite smooth then has a lot of fairly sharp carbonation. The flavor starts with lots of spicy hops, nectar fruits, earthy saison yeastiness, pepper and a welcoming alcohol presence. The finish has lots of spicy hops & then the nectar fruit and saison funk lingers. Very nice.

Poured a pale golden hue, with creamy white head. Smells of ginger and a little apple. Tastes of honey, apples, and has crisp carbonation. Light bodied for 9%

(draught at monks cafe) opaque pale yellow, thick lasting creamy head. Nose of spices, florals and quite fruity. Taste of white pepper, freshly cracked, quite floral, hibiscus tea, allspice or chai as well. Body is light and refreshing but a bit sweet on the palate.

Bottle, 75cl, at Cafe Ondineke, Aalst. It pours a hazy, orange-golden body under a big, creamy, white head leaving lacings. Orange peel, some pale malts and a generic fruityness on the nose. The flavor has some citric acidity and bitterness, with orange peel and lemon peel as well as white sugar. A faint touch of Brett too, and towards the very end some hoppy bitterness kicks in and stays. Full-bodied, dry and effervescent. A tasteful, quenching and quite lovely saison. 110430
