Name: Saison Voisin
Brewer: Brasserie Des Geants (Ath, Belgium)
Classification: Saison
Alcohol: 5%
Thoughts: Some of my cousins brought this along to our day after Thanksgiving get together. It poured a hazy dark brown with tons of carbonation and a sticky beige head. The nose is earthy, dank, fairly malty and a touch of caramel can be sensed. As for the taste, a harsh bitterness is noted initially. This is followed by strong caramel malts. Not something I would expect to find in my saisons. The hops provide some spiciness and a little skunky flavor. The beer really lacks the typical saison yeast character. Minimal phenols and esters are noted. Really not very exciting mixed with some harsh bitterness and too much caramel for the style. Really not a great beer. I wouldn't call it undrinkable or bad, but average to below average.
Rating: 76/100
