Then I also find Saison d’Erpe Mere from Glazen Toren bit friendly, bittersweet with citrus fruit and the merest hint of white pepper; dry finish (it’s Flemish rather than Wallonian). Other people will have other ideas. Saison is a good food beer as well. <br />But on the other hand, it’s not worth worrying about if you don’t get it, I haven’t got White Shield for years, only now am I starting to enjoy it.Adrian Tierney-Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05421802854011395300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3076725205410370436.post-86032757949404197152010-05-08T11:10:46.524+01:002010-05-08T11:10:46.524+01:00I've completely failed to get my head round Sa...I've completely failed to get my head round Saison.
