Bottle at the RBESG08 Grand tasting. Alround rating: Spicey peppery orange, big yeasty stery presence. Exactly what i expect in a saison.

Bottle at ølbaren - cloudy yellow - white head. Yeasty, citrus, zesty, youghurt, spicy, fruity, milky, sweetness, sugar, white pepper. All the saison caracters, but it needs the crispness & freshness.

Wow, I don’t know what it was, maybe I just had a bad bottle - but this was a huge disappointment. I’m a big southampton fan but this just kind of stunk. Pours pale yellow with tons of head. Scent is lemony. Aftertaste is harsh and stale. It didn’t work for me. Brasserie Dupont from now on for this style for me

The aroma is typical for the style with dust, grass, corn like malt, and a touch of fruit and cheese. The appearance is hazy gold with a huge head. The palate is average for the style. Overall a good example of a style I am not in love with but fairly enjoyable none the less.

(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of pineypower. Slightly hazy golden with a big, rough, off-white head. Aroma of yeast and citrus. Medium-bodied with a huge and very lively and bubbly head. Lots of fruit, lots of yeast and then a crude, brutal and extremely unpleasant and unsophisticated bitterness in the finish. Sorry, but this came off bad after a nice start. 220607

Smells and looks like a saison. Barnyard aroma is there, as if by custom. SIgnificant head on lighter colour body. The surprise is the hoppiness moderated by fainter spice. Tasted closer to an ESB. An entirely different saison than the regular saison, according to my notes.

750ml corked and caged bottle, dated 10/8/15. Pours hazy and cloudy, gold and orange, with a small frothy white head. Aromas of dusty citrus and hay, slightly tart fruit juice and lemon, cherry, and white grape/Chardonnay. Flavor is grape juice and white wine, tart juice and citrus, with sweeter, almost bock-ish malt flooding in. No carbonation. Flat as shit, with medium body, giving a highly unpleasant mouthfeel. I really wanted to like this, but this bottle was way off, and very disappointing. [1135]

Cloudy yellow colour with a frothy white head. Malty, citric aroma with floral and spicy notes. Malty, perfume sweet flavor with fruity notes. Light dry and spicy finish.

Bottled. Hazy golden yellowish in colour with a rather large head. Somewhat spicy with notesof fruit, yeast, citrus and alcohol. Slightly dusty and dry.

A little on the bitter side for my taste and left a bit of a nasty aftertaste as well. Not the best Saison I’ve encountered and I’d consider it a bit overrated. Go for the Dupont Avec les Bons Voeux instead
