  Every bit the classic. Very expressive nose, malty, hoppy and soft caramel. Lovely Palate presence, good depth of flavour and real understated quality here.

  6,5% alcohol. Brewed in 2016, best before 06/2019.
  
  Slightly hazy straw-yellow color with a large and quite persistent white head. Pleasantly funky, slightly rustic and very attractive nose with complex aromas of leathery brett, some grainy malt, light sweeter notes of yellow stone fruits, a little bit of ripe orange, a hint of lemony marmalade and a touch of barnyard. The beer feels dry, quite full-bodied and somewhat funky on the palate with flavors of bretty leather, some grainy malt, a little bit of phenolic spice, light juicy notes of ripe orange and lemon and a hint of herbal hops. Although there's a hint of sweetness to the flavors, the taste retains a nice touch of tart tang. The hop bitterness grows slowly towards the aftertaste without ever taking the lead. The overall feel is enjoyably evolved without coming across old at all. The finish is long, complex and slightly funky with flavors of leather, some herbal bitterness, light grainy malt tones, a little bit of ripe orange, a hint of earth and a touch of phenolic spice.
  
  Consistently a beautiful saison, hands down one of the best I know, if not the best. Although the beer feels somewhat evolved compared to my previous bottle (drunk more than 4 years ago), I'm not sure if this that much better - just different. However, the beer hasn't diminished in quality in any way, either. An excellent beer that never seems to disappoint. To me, this is a beer that's impossible not to love. Such a bargain at 5,40€ for a 0,75-liter bottle.

  Excellent farmhouse beer with minerals and yeast, a bit more "smokey " compared to the Saison Biologique's more floral tone, and 1% alcohol more. At the brewery.
  
  Also tasted:
  Saison Biologique: more floral, touch lighter, Really like this a lot.
  
  Saison dry hopped: herbal floral pot notes that are intoxicating. love this! If Saison wanted to be an IPA.
  
  Redor Pils: (Doré) excellent maltier pils, good balance, seasonable
  
  Bierre de Miel: just what it sounds like. Not sweet but with honey nuances. honey added during hopping process.
  
  Triomf: aged in whiskey barrels, really nice subtle barrel aged character.
  
  Moinette Blonde: classic good stuff, like a triple, rich, fuller and packs a malty punch.
  
  Moinette Brune: similar but with roasty notes.
  
  Bon Voeux: bigger but still dry, 9%, just a hint sweet, dryer than I remember. Really good and balanced for such a big beer

  It's been over a year and a half that bottle down in my wine fridge. Looking at my notes from then, the beer is smoother and more balanced, the funk seems to have subdued a bit. It reminds me more of a Belgian blonde now, but lots more fizzy. Delicious!

  Expressive nose of citric and funky aromas. Medium bodied, dry and smooth, showing citrus, hoppy bitterness, some notes of wheat beer and funk. Great balance. What a treat!
