This is an unfiltered organic Belgian ale from this well-respected artisan brewery, better known for their classic Saison. It has a lumpy, rocky head and a pleasing pale golden colour. The nose is a complex blend of spices and fruit - coriander, cinnamon, vanilla, pepper, figs, and a hint of toffee. In the mouth there are lots of phenols and esters adding lightness to the texture, with complex spicy malt and a subtle burning strength in the back of the throat. However, the strength is well disguised on the tongue - it is smooth and not too lively (despite the 'pop' when pulling the cork). Aftertaste is long, zesty, malty and spicy
