Style: Saison
Dour-Blaugies, Belgium

Serve in Tulip

Bottle: The highly energized liquid expression pours forth a torrent of substantial flair to its already superfluous crown of lace. Quaff a bit of coriander, juniper, rye bread and rising dough. Bouquets of spice and yeast try to escape from the rising tide of foam. Down the hatch and there’s a lot of zest, put it down and i must have another test. Sweet and dandy, i like this beer, oh what a hobby!, I think all this needs is a little more body.

750ml - Orange liquid, creamy head, candy sugar nose. Fizzy seltzer palate. This is fun.

2004 bottle. Great aroma of yeast, spice, oranges, a little bit of hops, bread, and some tartness. Pour is a clear gold with a large creamy white head. Flavors of sweet malt, orange, spice, grain, mustiness, and some farmhouse sourness. Quite nice.

Aroma of yeast, oranges, spice, earth and hops. Hazy, orange coloured with a lasting, off-white, big, bit creamy head. Taste is bitter, sweet, yeasty, with some oranges, malts, hops, spice and an earthy tone. Bit Orvallike indeed. Nice balance. Good brew.

Nice musty, fruity, lemon-grass aroma; super-livlely body; bready malt flavor followed by a tart, bitter and dryish finish; no hop charactor; notes of pepper, peaches, marmalade, dust, raw mushroom.......awesome complexity. Very enjoyable.

Dark gold/orange body with average carbonation and a thick, lasting white foamy head. Well balanced malty/hoppy aroma with some caramel and brown sugar notes. Alcohol is well hidden. Wonderful malty/hoppy taste that carries yeasty, herbal, toffee and nutty hints. Ends with a good bittersweet finish. A bit different from the typical Saison (sweeter, less hoppy/herbal), but still a very nice one!

Nice little rocky head, orange colour, alot of sediment. Smells a bit of honey, probably more, but i’m a fuck. Very full, creamy feel on the palate, and a nice short finish to a nice little blast of orange and honey. Really nice finish, not too much, disguises the 8% very well. This is a good one, reminds me of Orval, my fave, but sweet instead of dry, and not as happy with the hop.

750ml bottle-A nice cloudy orangish body with a head that dissipated quickly. It had an aroma of yeast, citrus, and a small amount of criander. Taste of yeast, floral, grass, citrusy, and finished with a dryness. A good Saison.
