Saison dEpeautre

Brewed by Brasserie de Blaugies
Style: Saison
Dour-Blaugies, Belgium

Bottle from trade with Boutip. Thanks Phil! Pours a light hazy golden yellow color with a small white head. Aroma of yeast and citrus. Taste is light with a spicy citrus flavor. Finishes with a dry hoppy note.

750ml bottle, served in my NB snifter. Hazy marigold color with a 2-3 finger head, active carbonation, and varied sediment in the bottom of the glass. Aroma is lemon, earthy and spicy hops, grainy with wheat and rye characteristics but not exactly like either one, vanilla, and yeast. Initial taste is lemon and citrus, vanilla, yeast, sharp wheat followed by some strong earthiness which is very herbal, minerally, and spicy in the same way that rye is, and reminiscent of a barnyard. The finish is lingering spiciness and mild to moderate tartness. Mouthfeel is very full. Saison’s are quicly becoming one of my favorite styles, easy to drink but with an amazing depth of flavor, and the differences betwen them are amazing.

in the bottle at beertopia shelton brothers sample night. pours a cloudy gold with a thick white head. beer has a yeasty, candy-like aroma. there’s a nice drying and slightly tart initial flavor, followed by a strong bolus of anise. this is a delicious beer with an awesome palate.

Very light golden yellow and heavily clouded. Aroma begins with a wild lactic sourness, eventually to fade into a more reserved mint fluoride and pear character. A bit of butterscotch sweetness. Tastes of candied cashews and lime zest at first. Then, with warmth, an exotic tide of golden kiwi and peach, washing softly over a gritty thickness of yeast. Finishes dry, earthy and sour. Loose in the mouth, lacking precision and direction. Disappointingly degenerative from its promising beginning. Others will do. Thanks Phil!

hazy white coloured body and a average white head a verry herby aroma full palet and a long lasting strong herby finich

Medium yellow in colour with a bit of haze and strong carbontion. Very interesting aromas of citrus, coriander, wet wood, and a bit of sourness. Extremely dry and spritzy on the palate, with flavor notes of grassy hops, citrus, and chalk. The flavor is a bit of a letdown after the wonderful aromatic profile, but it’s still a refreshing (if somewhat "uncomplicated").

750 mL bottle via Lubiere, shared with Ben, served cool in a tulip. MA30/07.

App.: Very cloudy golden with a loose, white meringue and a little lacing. Aroma: Quite yeasty, light citrus and wheat, light earthy funk; light coriander and spice, white pepper. Palate: Med.-light body, soft effervescence. Flav.: Disappointing! Is this true to style?? Thin and watery; minerals and light lemon; yeast and some dirtiness; very lean finish with moderate bitterness and slight bitter orange notes..

The nose was writing cheques that the mouth couldn’t cash!
