Saxo from Brasserie Caracole
Rating: B+
Appearance: Pours light golden in color, huge white head that sticks around for a long time. Some lacing. Cute label.
Smell: Lots of Belgian yeast aroma, with citrus, some spice and fruit. Rather more citrusy than other BPAs.
Taste: Much like the aroma. For an 8% beer the alcohol is fairly well hidden. A bit rough around the edges, rather more "in your face" than others.
Mouthfeel: Medium body, carbonation on the high side.
Drinkability: Okay, but not quite "good" - glad I split the bottle. La Fin or Duvel win out any day.
Serving type: bottle
