UPDATED: FEB 25, 2024 Bottle poured a clear orange amber with a small lasting ivory head. Aromas of bread, yeast, pepper and light fruitiness. Palate was light bodied and crisp with a dry finish. Flavors of bread, yeast, fruitiness and light pepper with a crisp dry lingering fruity finish.

UPDATED: FEB 18, 2024 In der formschönen 750er Buddel. Optisch sattes erdiges Orange, schöner Schaum. In der Nase Aprikosen, hefig. Im Trunk setzt das fort, dezent bitter, hinten intensiver. Leicht tartig. Da fehlen mir etwas mehr Aromen und Intensität. Okay.

UPDATED: AUG 2, 2023 Hazy golden. Aroma is yeat floral notes some dates and honey. Taste is bitter spices with some sweet malt and yeasty smooth mouthfeel. Good.

UPDATED: JUL 18, 2023 Pours translucent orange, a little hazier on final pour. Not so big per style but compact white head, showing good enough retention and modest lacing. The aroma is mainly estery/fruity with pear, peach, lighter banana and perhaps a citric hint, while more classic saison notes (herbal/grassiness, earthiness, spiciness) are in the back. Feels quite vivid and well defined. Taste notes follow the aroma quite closely, with fruitiness taking the main stage as the smell suggested and more pronounced spiciness. The beer is quite sweet for the style (there's also a light honey note) but well balanced by a clean, dry enough finish/aftertaste. Medium or slightly below medium bodied, with medium carbonation (lighter than style average in carbo). An easy drinker, the mouthfeel feels nicely lively and still decently full/satisfying. Overall this was something between a saison and a low abv tripel (the fruitiness and spiciness are quite tripleish) and anyway a beer i enjoyed.

UPDATED: MAY 6, 2023 Belga leggera, profumata, agrumata e molto gustosa, sapore fresco estivo. Ottima!

UPDATED: MAR 31, 2023 4 pack of 33 cl cans, bb 23-01-05. Brassy-golden with some floaters and a thin disc of beady foam. Aroma of apple, white grape, lemon, and a hint of funky hay. Tastes the same plus touches of pear and honey, and then a hint of resin in the finish. Near-medium bodied with medium-plus carbonation and a nice little dry slant on the finish.

UPDATED: FEB 27, 2023 Bottle from Carrefour, Brussels on 27th February 2023. Bright hazy orangey amber with yellowy white foam and spot lacing. Grassy hops and earthy pungencies in aroma. Tangy citrus, spices and nutty malts in-mouth, and a spicy, nutty finish. Full bodied with a zingy mouthfeel.

UPDATED: DEC 23, 2022 Das St. Feuillien Saison wird sehr gelobt - mal schauen, was an den Vorschusslorbeeren dran ist. Das Bier kommt mit üppiger, mittelporiger Krone daher, die fingerdick stabil stehen bleibt. Es ist gelb und opal. Der Geruch hat stark den hefigen, birnigen Einschlag, aber auch Pfeffer und Getreidefelder sind da. Laut Zutatenliste sollte auch Lakritze drin sein - hier versagt die Nase. Beim Antrunk kommt die Lakritze dann doch, jedoch schön in die Getreidearomen eingepasst. Das Bier ist toll rezent und frisch. Natürlich gibt es auch Hefearomen, die aber auch nicht dominant sondern gut eingebunden sind. Beim Abgang ist eine Hopfung erkennbar aber keine neuen Aromen. Am Gaumen bleibt getreidiger Belag zurück. Ich fand das Voisin mit den deutlicheren 'Farmhouse' Aromen besser, dieses Bier ist aber für den Einsteiger besser ausbalanciert und insgesamt gefälliger. 07-2020

UPDATED: JAN 25, 2022 Bottle at De Blauwe Kater, Leuven. Sadly due to polite conversation I couldn't rate this beer as thoroughly as I'd wish but this was an absolutely cracking saison and that I will try to try agian before i leave. Lovely almost ipa looking colour. Fresh and light and just the right abv. Good body. Fantastic saison.
