La bière Notias est une bière blonde, légère et rafraîchissante de l'Abbaye de Chimay. née grâce à l'amitié entre les habitants de la région Péloponnèse en Grèce, connue pour sa culture de safran et des belges immigrés. Cette bière est élaborée à partir d'un ingrédient Original le Safran.

La bière Notias possède une robe de couleur jaune soleil, vif avec un nez aux arômes épicés et puissants pour une bouche rafraîchissante avec des notes de Safran. Le tout est parfaitement équilibré et se déguste à volonté comme une bière de soif. Elle peut être parfaite pour accompagnée des encas sucrée ou par exemple un plats de moules aux safrans ou Waterzoi de poisson.

«Notias», à savoir «vent du sud» en français.

Bottle at home. Hazy orange with a massive white head. Aroma of of yeast, weeds, grass, fairly metallic notes and herbs. Flavour is light to moderate sweet and moderate bitter. Light medium bodied with light carbonation.

Bouteille 33cl. Dorée, col fin blanc léger crémeux. Arôme offre un bouquet résiduel fleuri et épicé surement du safran, le tout garde également un léger côté levure ester procurant une trace d’abricot et un résiduel sucré un peu trop dominant. Palais est léger et malté, ici aussi, je note une note sucrée persistante et qui prend un peu trop le dessus. Le tout est légèrement fleuri - safran. Au final, un beau geste mais qui ne correspond pas au profil des 4.8% de cette bière qui demandait un cran moins de sucre en fermentation.

Bright yellow colour with dense, lasting head. The aroma and flavour both have an abundance of floral, metallic saffron. Perhaps a bit too much as it certainly hangs in the aftertaste. Very interesting.

Bottle from Belgian Beer Shop, Leuven. Hazy golden colour, white foam. Lots of carbonation. Weak and watery base beer with a lot of saffron. Reminds me of cheap perfume but also paint. Strange beer, not very good and too much carbonation.

What?? brewed by chimay? Thats a surprise ! pours clear blonde, OK white head. Smell is very interesting. I am assuming this is the saffron... Taste is Intense on the spices, tastes mildly soapy to me. This might be the actual taste of saffron, which I dont know tbh, but its not really my type of taste...

33cl bottle from Sip, Tallinn. Pours clear golden with a lasting, white head. Strange spice aroma that reminds me a bit of leather, but I guess it’s just the saffron. Anyway it’s quite dominating and I’m not entirely comfortable with it. Some Belgian yeasty notes appears too after a while, but it seems a bit unbalanced with the saffron. Otherwise it’s quite ordinary and drinkable Belgian ale. Strange thing, but fairly drinkable in the end.

Clear yellow-golden beer, big bubbled, with bit fluffy very yellow head. Saffron obvious in the nose. Fish sauce, and a touch of lemon/citrus stressing this even further. Again saffron obvious. The light body makes it reasonably refreshing, despite a certain sweetness. The finish is peppery-sharpish - again the saffron. Light, well-carbonated. Original, not bad, if a bit hard on the spice. But why all the Greek abracadabra about its origins?

New beer and the first that I know of which comes from a Belgian trappist brewery without being entitled to the ’authentic trappist product’ label... Apparently this is made for Belgian saffron farmers in Greece, where they made an attempt at supporting the suffering local economy - I could not imagine any trappist brewery producing anything without there being a link with some form of charity, so this does make some sense after all. The beer itself, however, makes less sense. It pours a clear golden blonde colour under a sticky, snow white, moussy head; the aroma indeed reveals a lot of saffron (though I did have even more ’saffronized’ beers than this), hints of honey and white bread, white pepper, grass, apple, soap and something undeniably sulphuric - the cooked cauliflower smell of DMS. Malt sweet taste, some apple and other green fruits, a honeyish touch, bit thin body and above else, a somewhat obnoxious presence of saffron which dries a bit and sticks till deep into the finish, which underachieves in the hops department. Not well balanced and clearly beneath the quality level usually expected from beers made at trappist breweries. Weird!
