A beer review Barking Flamingo
Pours a pinky red colour with medium carbonation and a quickly dissipating white head
Sweet aroma of rapberry and some honeyish caramel.A light note of Belgian yeast funk initially but it vanishes quickly.
Taste is somewhat sweet but dry with some lingering raspberry flavour.
The Belgian saison charcter is quite subdued lacking the spice of traditional saisons, however the dryness does create a perception that the bitterness is higher than the hop additions suggest. The mouthfeel is quite thin.
Overall its a disappointing beer which I would describe as lolly water and fits into the alcopop category more so than a Belgian Saison with fruit which seems to be a misnomer
