Beer Review: De Struise Brouwers Aestatis

Here is my look at Aestatis from De Struise Brouwers, this Imperial Saison ale comes from Belgium and was brewed in collaboration with Monks Café and Brewery. I happened to find this little dandy while on a beer run, of course, but had no idea about it because very little was given on the label. But what the label did have was an alluring look and that sold me enough because as many of you know, I enjoy finding good Belgian ales. Alcohol content on this beer is 11% ABV and IBU level is noted at 59. Now, the one that I am reviewing here is the vintage 2015 edition, and I have not seen any newer than this so it may not be in production anymore. The fact that I couldn’t find it on their site kind of makes me think this as well, if anyone else knows different then please let me know by leaving a comment.

Away from all of that stuff the beer itself played out magnificently, so much that I ended up providing a personal rating of 4.75 out 5. Check out my video here to see why and as always, keep drinking those good craft beers. Cheers!
