Dupont Avec les Bons Voeux

Man, how pleased was I when this cloudy yellow gold beer, with its creamy dense white head released its aroma of farmy brett and spicy orange peel? The answer is very! And the flavor? Creamy buttery malts, funky hay and leather, grassy and spicy hops, leading to a dry finish with a pointed hoppy bitterness. Freakin outstanding saison!

Bottle, 37,5 cl. Amber color, big white head. Medied body. Aroma malts, good full of hops. Taste is wunderfull, dry malts, bitterness end much hops. Like the alcoholic thouch.

750 ml bomb, pours a hazy golden yellow. Forms frothy white foam head. Aroma is vanilla malts, yeast and spices. Cloudy and sorta funky in appearance. Flavor is full bodied spice, vanilla, somewhat peppery. Ends somewhat dry with a coriander taste. Very lovely beer. (thanks Matt in MHC).

750ml. Pours cloudy yellow with a huge, rocky white head. At first the aroma is more like a strong hefeweizen - clove, wheat, yeast, vanilla then it picks up a bit of tartness and funk when it warms up. Taste is smooth, surprisingly bitter, with a unique finish that is hard to name. It tastes kind of like sour dough bread and not in a good way. Maybe even a bit skunky. Alcohol hidden very well. The weird finish didn’t sit too well with me. This is good bu that flavor was off putting. Fantome still rules all.

Bottle IBS, Perth, WA Im not sure if I tasted this on a bad palate day, but the bottle I had didnt quite hit the lofty hights of most reveiws. Lost of interesting spicy, light flavours, but these seems to be overbourne by a yeasty breadiness that made it feel like a very heavy beer.

Slightly cloudy golden body topped by an initially large white head. Tons of wild yeast on the nose with hints of bananas, cheese and all those cool things you get from the genuine Dupont yeast. There’s never too much of that stuff. Taste is obviously very yeasty with some vanilla and a warming alcohol that takes a bit too much room IMHO. Overall feeling of drinking an alcoholised ice-cream. Moderately spicy with spices of the peppery kind. The generous amount of herbal hops is a pleasant surprise. All-in-all a great funky grassy spicy beer. Yeast-wise it seems very similar to the Moinette Bio but the rest of the recipe reminds me of the Moinette Blonde. Better in reasonable servings. I used to think it was as good as any Dupont but that’s because I always shared bottles with friends. After a 750ml by myself I’ve changed my mind, it is better in smaller servings. I prefer the lighter and funkier Vieille Provision and Moinette Biologique. Another great offering from a brewery which products are as popular and affordable as Windows PCs yet as reliable as Macs.
