Botella de 33 cl. Color naranja, ligeramente turbio y una corona de espuma no muy abundante que desaparece bastante rápido. En nariz destacan los cítricos. Luego en boca, se confirma todo, especialmente el limón. Se notan poco los 7%, muy facilmente bebible. Una cerveza diferente, tampoco es una saison al uso

Bottled. Clear golden color, some tiny debris, short frothy head. Aroma of spicy yeast (T-58?), orange, ginger, some spicy and grassy hop, hint of citrus and pine. Quite bitter taste, citrussy. Finishes rather dry. The yeast dominates a lot of the character of the beer.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 TheJvd (168) - NETHERLANDS - APR 29, 2013
Bottle. Pours clear dark golden with a medium white head leaving nice lacing. Wow, aroma is not what you would expect from a saison. Big citrus hops, orange peel, soma malt and sweetness. Taste is also sweet, fruity, citrus hops and a nice bitterness. In the aftertaste there is some saison funk noticeable, but not very much. Not really a saison, but it tastes very good.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 sebletitje (5415) - Enghien, BELGIUM - APR 15, 2013
Bouteille 33cl, BB 09/2013, lot#12518. Quelle bonne idée pour célébrer le retour su soleil, et surtout une belle surprise. Comme toujours belle étiquette et contraste de l’orange et du citron.
Couleur orangé claire, col épais et crémeux blanc cassé.
Arôme reste ici différent du palais qui est lui plus fruité. Je note ici plus de grains, note levure dominent le bouquet. Ce dernier est suivi d’un agréable houblonné alternant les notes citronnées et orangées.
Palais, note de grains couplé à qcq notes d’épices. L’effet de surprise est inique dans l’approche plus traditionnel que je me fais d’une saison type belge. Ici, il y a une dominance réelle de fruits tropicaux, orange et citronné qui ajoutent à ce profil plus caractéristique de saison. Ce dernier se retrouve dans le côté sec et grains. Le palais reste néanmoins épais avec un profil presque sirop en bouche.
Au final, le tout reste très désaltérante, à boire frais dehors. Parfait et un bon départ des saisons belges qui trop souvent n’osent pas innover.
