The old Hainaut beer style of Saison was produced at every brewery in the region around the beginning of the last century. In homage to the founder of the Brewery who brewed this beer for the "Cayoteux" (local quarrymen), the tradition of this refresging sweetish amber ale was revived in 1982. Its density makes it a beer for special occasions and one to enjoy during your favourite moments.
Serve chilled but not frooze between 4°C and 6°C. Its alcoholic content is 5,2%.

[1] Review by ante from Stockholm, Sweden who has tried this beer once. (5/24/2008 9:52:58 AM)
" Pours out in a clear dark yellow colour with a huge eruptive and extremely long lasting white head. Funky and grainy aroma of yeast, white bread, dough, anise-seeds, yellow fruits and cardamon. Medium-bodied with touches of toasted bread, yeast, dried oranges, crackers, burnt sugar and dryish spicy hops. yeasty and funky finish of dough, spunned sugar, hay and mild pepper. "

[2] Review by Chopz from Cantley, Canada who has tried this beer once. (2/20/2007 2:12:33 AM)
"Part of the 8-pack Christmas special from Brasserie Lefebvre. Best before date written on back label is L05102007. Pours a hazy caramel colour with a big creamy off-white head, that creates thick chunky lace. Retention is great and carbonation is steady with very tiny bubbles. Nice... just like the description says, quite refreshing. The nose has characteristics of a Flemish Sour, but instead of the sourness, has rust and spices. Smooth mouthfeel, more on the watery side with a mild creamy edge. Good spicy taste that stays into the aftertaste, with some fruity apples and citrus that shows up. Again, a very refreshing and satisfying saison."
