I’m from Bocholt, so I think I am a bit chauvinist. But this beer is bouble hopped and has an extreme bitter taste which I like very much. You should try it tapped!

(Bottle 25 cl) Pale golden, filtered pilsenerish beer with a dry, bitter and rather short finish. A light and very satisfying summer-quencher. Nice. 240896

Clear deep golden colour with a smallish white head. Malty ryebread aroma. Sweet, malty flavours, with the spicy flavours of rye, still well-balanced by substantial bitterness. Medium to full bodied. It is clean, it is well-made, it is near the German border, but still with some Belgian originality in it.

(a bit aged sample) Yellow-straw coloured; fluffy disparate head. Very grainy nose, sweet. Taste of sweet grain & malt, even a bit chaff. Even when no visible carbonation, quite prickly - nearly fizzy feeling. Palate is fruity, pineapple like. Medium bodied, quite dry. Brewery Martens have a problem. When I started tasting beer, no specialised pub or wholesaler would be out of Sezoens. Nowadays, it is a rarity, so that even a very special beerhall could only sell me Sezoens which was already slightly overdate. Why? Until Germany changed its law concerning one-way bottlings, they were too busy selling the Germans canned Pilsener under every imaginable name, and their top-fermenting specialities were neglected... Now the border is closed and they have to relearn selling Sezoens. Oh yes, Sezoens is NOT a Saison.

Bottle 0,25l at The Belgian Monk Norwich 26 Sep 06. Clear golden coloured. A creamy head. Refreshing malty aroma. Rich fruity flavour. A lasting malty aftertaste. A bit too carbonated.
