B. United International Inc. - Saison de Pipaix

Michael Jackson **** WORLD CLASSIC, Pocket Guide to Beer, p.101:
"A superb blend of tastes and, for a beer of only 6.5%, has a light unassuming complexity. In some ways, it could almost be described as a fruity, malty version of a superior gueuze..."

Saisons Blind Tasting Panel
Five Star "***** ..superbly sour nose with hints of pears, herbs and hops. Cloudy gold color. Cantillon-like aroma and mouthfeel with great sour , juicy character. Underscored with hints of apples and coriander and a clean finish"

Saison de Pipaix has an immense depth of complexity and a superb blend of tastes. Each batch goes through three fermentations [1st at 75oFfor 4 days; 2nd fermentation at 34oF for 3 weeks; and 3rd fermentation at 68oF for another 4 weeks] before it is transferred to the cellar. It uses Pilsner and Munich malts, Hallertau hops and six [6] spices "pepper, ginger, curacao, sweet orange peels, coriander, roast chicory." It has a gorgeous orange color with orange notes in a light malt aroma. A marvellous mix of fruity flavors - mostly apple, orange and lemon - leads to aa dry finish with a great deal of acidity lingering on the palate.
