330ml bottle, day 21 of the 2017 Craft BeerAdvent Calendar. A strong Saison, apparently.
This beer pours a hazy, medium golden amber colour, with a teeming tower of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat creamy off-white head, which leaves some splendid dissipating cloud form lace around the glass as it lazily sinks away.
It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, a relatively subtle old-school, estery yeastiness, mild apple and pear fruity notes, simple syrup, and some tame earthy, leafy, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is bready and grainy pale malt, a lesser caramel sweetness, edgy and gently phenolic yeast, a muddled citrus and pome fruitiness, crusty honey, some hard to parse earthy spiciness, and more understated herbal, musty, and floral verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite aggressive in its effervescent frothiness, the body an adequate middleweight, and mostly smooth, once the yeast backs off a bit, that is. It finishes off-dry, the malt and fruit characters dealing with some mild lingering yeast and spice.
Overall - this is a fairly representative version of the style, made in a region of France pretty far from Belgium, so one cannot claim historical cultural spillover here. Balanced, sort of refreshing, and with pretty much no indication of the 7 points of the ol' wowee sauce. Good stuff!
