Commercial Description:
Ne Goeien is Flemish for "A Good One." We’d like to think this beer is exactly that. When we invited Hildegard Van Ostaden from Urthel to come brew with us at Port Brewing, we hoped the collaboration of our brewers and her passion for brewing would result in one fine beer. A simple Saison styled beer with firm bitterness is all she requested. From the beginning, it was easy to imagine this beer as Ne Goeien all the way.

Pours a hazy clear gold with lots of foam. Smells of Brett and lemons. Taste is citrus, spicey, hoppy and funky. Crisp and refreshing. Finish is dry with some bite. Tasty saison.

Pours a hazy golden yellow color with dark golden mustard yellow hues when held to a light source and frothy, pillowy two finger white head with very good retention, only slowly fading into a lasting cap that leaves chunks of soapy lacing behind. Slight earthy funk aroma with subtle grassy hops and crsip light fruit notes. Hints of apple and pear along with a zesty peppey spice character. Slight bready yeast presence. Clean, crisp and very quaffable with a nice balance of subtle malt, earthy hops and crisp light fruit. Fuller end of medium body with a nice bready yeast presence. Lots of light crisp fruit, especially apple, strawberry, pear and strawberry. Slight earthy funkiness, spicy lemon zest and pepper along with subtle bitter hops and a dry finish.

Cloudy golden, long lasting white head, good lacing. Aroma is of light citrus, yeast, must. Flavour is yeasty, soft, floral, perfume, light spice, citrus. Creamy mouth, med/light body, high carb. Finishes lingering, soft, yeast.

Light and floral with just a hint of citrus in the flavour. The aroma is much better.

750ml bottle.
Opened March 2009.
No date.

Pours a pretty yellow honey with a thick foamy head. Aroma is faintly vinegar with some herbs and toastiness. Taste moves from sour into floral and finishes bitter. Palate is a bit thin and somehow it doesn’t quite pack the punch I was expecting, but it is enjoyable none the less.

Medium bitterness, with a light sour touch to its palate. Typical light yellow body. Rather unfulfilling mouth feel.

In the bomber bottle from Downtown Johnny Brown’s in San Diego. 2008 version. Cloudy pale yellow with a thin white effervescent head. Dominant citrus and grassy aroma. The flavor is yeasty and drying with lemon tartness. Oakiness and honey flavors (not sweetness). Reminds me of a very dry mead.

Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy yellow, small white head, some lacing. Aroma is mostly a light yeast and citrus. Flavor is again citrus, some spices (pepper and coriander) and an underlying touch of yeast. Finish is slightly dry and slightly bitter.
