Introduced in 2004, and the very first ale produced by De Glazen Toren Brewery, Saison d'Erpe-Mere is a modern saison brewed using traditional methods and all-natural ingredients including artesian water, malt, hops, yeast and liquid candy sugar. Top fermented and bottle conditioned, the ale pours pale blonde with a frothy white head. Aromas include citrus, banana, peach and spice. Taste follows the nose and includes mild citrus sweetness with notes of floral, apple, and yeast as well as a nice bite of bitter hops. The mouthfeel is medium-bodied and creamy smooth – helped along by lively carbonation – while the finish is tart, dry and bitter.
