Draught Huge, very dense & fine fully hazy straw-coloured beer; rings of lace. Intense citrus nose, lavender, bay leaf, rosemary, even sage. And yes, Eugene is right, I get a whiff of salicylic acid. Sweet-bready, spicy, and a very light acidity... aspirin? Again lots of spices and a bit floral. Light body, spritzy carbonation, A wee bit overspiced for a saison, but quite OK after all.

Draft glass @ Beerlovers Bar. Golden, small white head. Nose is weird medicinal aspirin in a bitter way, bitter spoiled lemon peel. Taste is very weird bitter medicinal aspirin, chemical, anesthesia, spice, low yeast,… Crisp dry anesthesia body. Quite strange hop profile. Bit too much.

Tap @ van Moll, 10 cl sample. Slight hazy golden color, short frothy head. Aroma of some grainy malt, bit white wine, flowery hops. Bit dry in taste, slight bitter, medijm spicy. Saisons are not made for tap imo, and UK brewers make them a bit too spicy unfortunately, even though BBNo is a splendid brewery.

Cloudy pale yellow, white head. Mild citrus aroma, a touch of herbal hops. Flavour has slightly citric yeastiness, malt and spice or herbs. At first I thought it was rosemary, but it’s more like mild clove. Decent.

Sampled from tap at the Oedipus International Beer Festival 2016. Slightly hazy, straw yellow with a white head. Fruity-grassy, minimally funky and slightly floral aroma of lemon peel, pineapple and fresh grass. Slightly bitter, grassy-fruity, slightly floral and a little funky taste of lemon peel, pineapple and some grass, followed by a short, slightly bitter, a little dry finish. Thin to medium body, slightly creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Nice!
