St Feuillien Saison- Belgium (6.5%ABV)

How good would it have been to be given this stuff as a farm worker to quench your thirst?

This was a seriously refreshing Saison and was very easy to drink. It pours a slightly cloudy golden blonde colour with a medium head. The saison has been top fermented and further bottle conditioned, it has a slightly hoppier aroma than a Belgian blonde and has a little less yeasty aroma and taste. A beautifully balanced refreshing "Belgian Farmhouse Ale". You could easily drink this a session ale but it does have a fairly hefty 6.5% ABV!

 I tasted this back to back with Murray's "The Natural" French Farmhouse Ale. The St Feuillien Saison is not as acidic as "The Natural" and has a slightly hoppier flavour.
