Métisse : 75 cl. Une belle robe orangée et sa petite tête mousseuse. Une fine dentelle de Bruges. Un amalgame intéressant de houblons. Des fleurs et des herbes. Un parfum délicat de pin et des notes d’agrumes légèrement sucrées. Des saveurs qui reprennent les grandes lignes des arômes. La naissance et le développement de notes épicées. La levure qui apparaît sur la langue. Une bouche bien menée avec un corps très féminin et ses bulles explosives. Une texture de qualité. Une finale amère, poivrée et asséchante. Une proposition qui a le mérite d’une certaine originalité. Aussi, et pour conclure, plutôt facile à boire.

Bottled, 75cl. A classic saison with a low carbonation. Medium hopped (the hop taste is not too much noticeable). Medium persistence froth. Nothing exciting. Easy to drink and sweet in the finish with notes of banana.

Bottle. Orange blonde. Lemon and anis in the aroma. Tart, spicy flavor. Lemon, anis, coreander. Some herbal hops. Well balanced. Dry. Good saison.

Moder Lambic, Brux, B. Tap, 200312. Yellow with white head. Atoma of spices and fruit. Flavour with lemon and wheat

Deep golden ale with a firm fizz bourishing a lasting white film, from the faded white tower of irregular bubbles. Hop-forward orangey, flowery, earthy nose showcasing nicely the contrast between English and American hop profile. The yeast aroma is not too dominant in this one, having Biere de Garde like earthy, hay-like notions, but no outwordly phenols. Very hoppy for a Belgian Saison and this ends up stealing a good deal of the show while remaining agreeably earthy and dry despite feeling almost full-bodied thanks to its grainy, straightforward malt profile with more residual sugars than it seems. Original and pleasant example from this rather obscure brewery. Tightly mineral, almost salty in the orange blossom-like, perfumey and very dry finish.

hazy gold, puffy white head that reduces to large bubbled ring. Nose is soapy and paper bitterness, heavy mango apple, and pine. Flavor is heavy wheat and esters at front, Low carbonation, lots of hop in pine and grass through finish. Very dry, coats with light grain, lager-like profile in finish.

Nice fruity and hoppy nose with light citrus and cotton candy along with some dusty yeast. Soft and well conditioned. The malt is doughy with fair amount of sugar. Nicely hopped.

750mL. Hazy, effervescent golden with a larger yellowish head. Soapy lace. Nose is baked yellow apples, sugary, thicker sweeter saison. Taste is very dry, grassy, quite neutral. Dry, clean palate. Nice, neutral, refreshing. Loads of soapy hops- pilsener like. Crackery and dry. A Ryan Artuso beer.
