Commercial Description:
Ne Goeien is Flemish for "A Good One." We’d like to think this beer is exactly that. When we invited Hildegard Van Ostaden from Urthel to come brew with us at Port Brewing, we hoped the collaboration of our brewers and her passion for brewing would result in one fine beer. A simple Saison styled beer with firm bitterness is all she requested. From the beginning, it was easy to imagine this beer as Ne Goeien all the way.

Thin bright white head of fizzy bubbles. Excellent carbonation keeps a thin wisp of foam on the top. Hazy golden orange in color. Light fruity and spicy aroma with white grape, lots of straw, lemon and spices. Pretty spicy aroma with a bit of pepper in there. Spicy lemon flavor with some dry grass, plenty of bitterness hops and spices. Very dry and a bit pasty on the palate. Finishes a little tart and dry with a lingering flowery bitterness. A good saison.

Banana. Clove. Light. Refreshing. Yeast in the nose. I bought this before winter hit, but only got around now to opening it. In the dead of December. No matter. I am getting citrus. Really good overall.

Bottle at Monks Café, Philadelphia 17-11-08. I understand that this beer is a hook up between Tommer Arthur of Port Brewing and Lost Abbey fame and Hildegard from the Urthel Brewery in Holland. Pours orangey/light amber. This beer has a light farmhouse type nose is hoppy and tangy but blanketed under a soft sweet lemsipy lemonyness. There is some lovely unripe tangerine, pushy citrus and an everlasting long bitterness. It’s a bracingly dry saison A7 A4 F8 P4 OV16 3.9

(750ml bottle, 2008 vintage) Pours a hazy yellow body with a medium white head and descent lacing. Aroma of lemon, citrus, mustiness, yeast, pepper, florals, and perfume. Flavor of lemon, earthiness, cracker, and light herbs.

Bottle. I do not remember when I got this. If someone got it for me, I thank you. Poured a clear gold with tons of carbonation. A big creamy head. Aroma of yeast, must, vanilla, earth. Not much spicing. Flavor was bitter for the style. Flavor was just ok for me though. Earthy and grassy. Not much spice or good yeast and wheat flavors. Expected more.

Golden orange color bright and colorful with a decent white head. Smell is fruits, spices, citrus, and yeast. Taste is more bland, earthy, yeast, light fruit, and some spices. Thinner and somewhat dry.

750ml bottle. Pours a hazy light golden color with a small white head. Aroma of citrus, malt and spices. Taste is lightly sweet, yeasty, earthy with a dominant lemon flavor. Has a dry semi sweet finish.
