It’s time to try a Saison, this one from [USER=44789]@AJA[/USER] as this was the first beer I received. I know nothing about this beer other than it’s a saison and it’s quite strong.

The beer is well carbonated and honey gold in colour. It’s not clear but a saison doesn’t have to be. The almost white head was formed of mostly medium and large bubbles which collapsed to a thin covering of small bubbles over the surface and then to a ring around the glass which stayed a while. Bubbles lazily drifted to the surface throughout.

The aroma is typically Belgian with a touch of tartness to it which I quite like in a saison. A background malt aroma and a hint of alcohol emerge as the beer warms a little.

The flavour is similarly Belgian in character with a bitter orange twist and a slightly sweet malty background. The alcohol is a little more apparent in the flavour and by my swimmy head! The bitterness is medium-high and the finish is fairly dry.

Thanks very much [USER=44789]@AJA[/USER] for setting the bar.
