World Beer Awards 2020

World's Best Pale Biére De Garde / Saison
Country Winner
Microbrasserie Le Trou du diable
La Saison du Tracteur
Canada

"Hazy light gold in colour. The nose has a classically peppery, spicy, saison character, with very soft fruitiness in the back. The body is light enough to be refreshing, but interesting enough to be fascinating. Slightly sweet peppery spice up front, with apricot as it segues to the mid-palate and a dry, spicy-bitter finish. Lovely."

Light straw in colour, with a good foam and head retention. Highly carbonated, with an earthy, herbal nose. Lovey yeast profile of bread and nuttiness coming through, and some nice spice and banana."

"Lovely golden hue and a slight haze. A spicy, peppery, funky nose. The palate brings a complex fruit character, and the alcohol is well balanced by the malt body. The finish is dry and slightly spicy. A good balanced beer."
