Style: Saison
Serving Style: 750 ml Bottle

Aroma: Loads of fruit and perfumy spice. Pears. Bready malt.

Appearance: Crystal clear and deep golden in color. Second glass was cloudy from yeast in the bottle. Mousse-like white foam that lasted a long time.

Flavor: Pear, apple and strawberries. Light bready malt. Perfume spice flavors, coriander and star anise. Sweet with a dry, peppery finish.

Mouthfeel: Medium-light body with effervescent carbonation.

Overall Impression: This is a great Belgian style Saison. The fruit flavors are intense and are supported by a subdued but rich bready malt. Complex and refreshing.
