Commercial Description:
A tribute to the highly drinkable ""every day"" beers from French-speaking Belgium. Contains Belgian two-row pale malt and 7% wheat. This beer is lightly filtered with an earthy, spicy hop character from imported Styrian Goldings hops and a beautiful rich creamy head from the wheat. Dry quenching finish achieved by use of the traditional sour mash process

Bottle. Pale yellow with a nice white head. Little bit fruity in the aroma and flavour, some pleasant hoppiness and bitterness throughout but overall a bit bland and light. Nice refreshing beer for the summer but unexciting otherwise. Where is the spice? Mondial 4T (Capflu).

Light gold color. Medium head. Aroma is malty, fruity and slightly herbal. Touch of must. A medium bodied sassion (? ) Malts are fruity and mild. Hops are slightly spicy. Light and refreshing. Nice mild flavors. Well balanced. Light and refreshing this would make a great summer session beer. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

Cloudy golden color with a small white head, some lacing. Sweet, fruity, slightly spicy aroma. Very nice citrus taste, some sweetness. Mouthfeel was not all that spectacular... but this was not bad.

Bottle. Pours a light golden hazy body with a white head. A well spiced hop beer. With sweet esters of banana and apple. Easy drinking and lightly herbal.

2005 bottle at Mondial, 6/5/05. Pour is a tangerine-orange, mixed with pale white golds and straw yellows. Smattering of lightly foamy white head, recedes quickly to cover, with a touch of lacing, albeit very small. Body has a slight chill haze to it. Aroma grants a bit of malt sweetness, with a slight tinge of sourish wheat, bits of honey dough and lightly sweet orange-hibiscus tea. Passing earthy tones could be called lightly funky, but it is more earthy and dusty. Flavor begins with light, sweet citrus notes, honey and slightly chewy malt and wheat. Yeast delivers Belgian character, though you arent going to mistake this for Blaugies. . .Body is medium, with low carbonation, lightly peppery at times. Ends with a farmy and citrusy mix of hops and yeast, light bits of malt sticking to the palate. Touches of dough and yeast linger on the finish. Interesting and quite refreshing, but it’s still not the real thing, so I think.

(Bottle) Mondial de la Bière 2004. Clear gold body with a high carbonation. Thin white head. Nose is mildly hoppy. Flavour is equally as unexciting.

Very nice light style saison. Light color- fluffy white head. Moderately high carbonation. Slightly spicy form the yeast and nice spice/foral/herbal/grassy aromas from the styrian hops. Aroma was one of the best parts about this beer. Very quenching.
