Dupont Avec les Bons Voeux

Brewed by Brasserie Dupont
Style: Saison
Tourpes-Leuze, Belgium

Pours a cloudy orangey straw color with a large white head, but not as much foam as Vieille Provision. Aroma of honey, grass, flour, sweetened bread, oak, white wine, and light alcohol warming. Similar taste with stronger honey notes, some grass, pepper, and bread/grain. Finishes lightly bitter and quite spicy, earthy and a little buttery. Medium bodied but heavier than other saisons and substantially less carbonated (but still well carbonated). This was like a funky pungent tripel, and/or a more warming saison. Very nice stuff.

Hazy orange with tiny head. Aroma is sweet, malty and has some yeast. Sweet malty and fruity flavor and a very dominat alcohol. Could be better.

750 Bottle with IPFreely @ Delirium Cafe in Brussels. Great beer. Cloudy yeasty, earthy. Lots of tasty bubbles, spritzy. Bubble party on your tongue. Spicy. very very good

Cork reads 2006 Pours a clouded gold with a white head. Nose is thick with mild yeasts and a slightly sweet tone. Flavor is hearty with an earthen tone that is very present. Overall a very robust and heavy flavor ride. Feel is good. A nice level of bubble and smooth on the tongue. Overall very drinkable. I might have drunk this one a bit too young, though. I’d be interested to see what some age would do to it. If I wasn’t moving in 2.5 weeks, I would have let this one sit for a while.

37,5 cl - Slightly hazy golden body with a big white head leaving thick lacing; Very BE triple yeasty nose, spiced; Full carbonation on full body, balanced, complex, bitter, slightly spicy harsh; Long spicy yeasty finish, lots of spicy aromas, very settled, only a very small amount of acidity otherwise quite bitter.

Bottle 37,5. Dark golden almost amber color, with big nice white head. Aromas hops, vanille, yeasts. A wonderful, hoppy tripel ! Perfect. The body is full. Great taste but complex alcoholic, yeast, hops, bitter, fruity ... Once of the finest beers I’ve ever had.

Tasted at Delirium cafe at Brusells, Golden colour and with a golden touch on lips, Great scent on room what a beer. Something must be magical. Great flavour, great beer.
