For more than a century, Saison Voisin was beloved in the famous Hainaut region of Belgium until, in 1989, Leon Voisin closed the little brewery where it was made. The Brasserie des Geants, or ’Giants Brewery’, revived this rustic and historic ale with Monsieur Voisin’s blessing in the year 2001, using an original recipe from 1884. It is light on the tongue and refreshingly fruity and bitter, as a true saison should be.
Amber coloured, refreshing with a light touch of bitterness and fruitiness. Saison Voisin is produced by top fermentation, is unfiltered and is refermented in the bottle.

Hazy sunset orange pour with small tight head that doesn’t linger. The expected peppery/spicy and funky aromas are there, with honey and orange zest. The taste has the standard barnyard notes, also honey sweetness, earthy hop bitterness, spicy phenols, orange zest fruitiness. Does taste a little watered down, however. Quite light bodied and acidic. Not bad as a table beer but pales in comparison to other more flavourful saisons.

In my glass hazy blonde has a big head It has grassy funk aromas some orchard fruit My palate finds mildly tart blackberries pear ginger and pepper. It is “semi” everything & never too demanding so is a session saison beer for all to enjoy on a warm day.

A bit wild and rough, malty, honey, peach, grapefruit, dark fruit and cane sugar. Bitter and sour. Better drunk on the cold side. almost like WC IPA gone sour but surprisingly very enjoyable. would buy again
