Bottle from Stirchley Wines. Beautiful bright yellow, with soft white froth. Smells a little tart and almost appley. The mouthfeel is fuzzy and crunchy, like sugar puffs. There is a sweetness to the malt, a slight metallic twang and a soft, wheaty taste, underscored, by a dry hopped middle and finish. Very pleasant, but feels a little too close to a Belgian Ale along the lines of Leffe Blonde, to be really delicious.

A cloudy, yellow pour with a pillowy white head. The aroma is hoppy and earthy with some lemon. The medium body has a slick texture with lively carbonation. The taste is moderately sweet to start then finishes somewhat tart.

Bottle from Stirchley Wines, Birmingham. Light golden pour with a medium sized white head .Some citrus and pissy hop present in the nose. Flavour wise, some muffled hop mixed with belgian yeast and hints of spice, alongside fairly prominent booze. Not too great really and definitely on the underwhelming side of the tracks. The fact this is tied into Duvel, wasn’t really a ringing endorsement in my book either. Definitely overrated.

Pours, a nice golden yellow with a frothy with lacy head. Smells of fruits and berries along with spice and grain. Tastes of almost exactly like it smells, with fruits,berries,grains and the head on this beer will stay with you the whole way. Great beer, good Abbey saison......

3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
(75 cl) Le liquide présente une belle robe dorée, légèrement touchée par un voile. La petite tête blanche semble persister. Une fine dentelle se dessine. Le nez permet de découvrir des arômes fruités (banane, agrumes) avec des fleurs de miel et de timides parfums d’épices. L’alcool se manifeste avec une certaine vigueur. Les flaveurs sont aussi fruitées. Les houblons sont aromatiques et amérisants. Le caractère de la levure s’affirme. En bouche, le liquide a un corps moyen et est bien remué par les bulles. La texture se semble être à la limite huileuse. La finale se fait toute en douceur sur des notes de levure et des notes houblonnées.
