Bière Darbyste
4.07 out of 5.00 | Very Good

This is an extremely soft and gentle beer no matter how one slices it. The mouthfeel is incredibly soft, with lightest of touches on the carbonation, and it has a pillow-like mouthfeel. Quite astonishing

A hazy orange body with a bit of a disappointing head if I am honest. The head is fluffy, very light and bubbly, and gone almost instantaneously. The beer is hard to describe as it puts out a light mandarin flavor with other gentle esters all over the place. Small malts and citrus notes abound. I don’t detect a specific fig note, but the unique nature of this beer has to be because of them. Maybe there are contributing to the absolutely incredible mouthfeel too.

There’s a sweet note that runs throughout this almost taking into “fruit beer” territory rather than Saison, and there’s some light acidity. Very fruity with a gentle sweetness.

This is a hard beer to describe. It doesn’t feel especially Saison-like in any way TBH, and lacks any farmyard characteristics, but at the same time it does feel ‘rustic’. I like it, a lot, but it’s difficult to describe. Easiest solution, just go get one.
