3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Clear golden color, white short lasting head. Tiny particles. Spicy aroma, yeasty but also fruity, cheesy. Bit like Dupont avec les bons veux. Quite sharp palate, despite only 6.5 %.

4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle conditioned. GBBF2003 (saison tasting session). Golden amber colour, good white head and quite high condition. More intense aromas than the Biolegere, with grainy fruit and honey and some background yeast and peppery spiciness. Sweet in the mouth, full bodied and malty with co2 more apparent. Pleasant dry bitter yeastiness in the long finish.
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Murky yellow pale brown colour. Interesting light fresh sourdough, staw and hint of egg white aroma. Medium light softish body. Interesting lightly vinous, spiced and more dominant sourdough yeasty flavours. Some unbalanced tartness and bitterness in the finish. I'm not all that familiar with the style so a hard one to rate for me.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Thick white head settles down, light apple, orange, cherry nose. Starts light on the palate then a hop bitterness hits the back of the tongue. Some floral notes happening. My first of the style, nice.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
I like the way the fruitiness of these saisons is cut short by that blunt Styrian Goldings bitterness. Great white head, big floral bouquet. Rough hewn, but with some delicate characteristics. Refreshing, and with all those flavors, somehow balanced. Makes me want to further investigate the style.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Hazy light apricot-colored with a carvable head. Label is utilitarian. Nice almost-lambic yeasty aroma. Well balanced, yeasty, golden flavored. You think that it's going to fall off towards too much acidity or hoppiness or sweetness, but it's self-correcting. Could have used a little more starch in the mouthfeel, but still quite good.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Great thick head, and full beautiful hazy yellow color. Nice full bodied belgian beer with a good aftertaste.
