Paljas Saison is a Belgian saison ale from Brouwerij Henricus. Winner of best saison at the World Beer Awards in 2017, this is an excellent example of the style. What makes a beer a saison? The name saison comes from the fact that these beers were brewed in the winter ‘season’, for consumption in the summer. Saisons were designed as a refreshing drink to quench the thirst.
What does a saison taste like? Saisons can vary in flavour but they tend to be pale in colour, unfiltered, and have spicy, peppery flavours from the yeast, and added fruit and spices. Paljas Saison is unfiltered, pouring a hazy blond colour. The aroma is fresh and zesty from the dry hopping. The flavour is subtly sour, with peppery, zesty notes.

Light, dry, refreshing and very drinkable but for me I find the pendulum of taste swings just a little too much towards bitter-sour hops.

Appears a murky peach colour with a huge fluffy head It smells of apples malts there is a hoppy blast The taste is bitter orange with a herbal honey background This one puts the old tastebuds through a good workout has the taste many craft brewers seek.
