Dupont Avec les Bons Voeux

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

750ml bottle. Tulip glass. Cloudy pale yellow with a large head. Aroma was yeast, citrus fruit and spice. The taste was tangy and dry with notes of yeast and peppery spices. The alcohol was noticeable up front, but mellowed as it warmed. (Or was it just that I was getting drunk having eaten little before opening the bottle.) This was a bit over-the-top for me and at this point prefer the more subtle Dupont Vieille Provision. But overall a very nice saison.

750ml bottle from Kingdom Liquors Brandon, Fl. Pours a hazy golden with a large long lasting white head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of black pepper, sweet malt, light citrus, floral and earthy hops. Taste is the same as aroma just more pronounced. Medium thin mouthfeel that finishes dry and slightly tart. A wonderfull Saison.

Bottle from Hopduvel warehouse, Gent. A hazy gold colour with a strong, white head. Aromas of bitter hops and farmyards. Flavourwise, the alcohol really dominated - it almost burned. Not to my taste, I much prefer the weaker Dupont saison.

Courtesy SoLan. Pours a hazy, yeasty, gold with a thick, frothy, well retained white head. Really nice looking. Lovely aromas, some nutmeg, cinnamon spices, coriander, a little clove, some funky citrus as well. Taste is quite spicy, kind of explodes around the sides of the mouth. Just a touch of some pepper, not much sourness. More nutmeg and cinnamon than anything. A touch of some orange citrus rounds out the flavors. Really refreshing for how spicy it is. Pretty creamy in the finish, the aftertaste is slightly bitter and funky. Fantastic.

Bottle, April 07. Enormous, striking, saazy hop aroma and horse saddle. Very perfumy and refreshing. Hazy golden-yellow color, very shinny with a medium, creamy, white head. Yasty, phenollic, fruity oranges flavor with comfortable earthy hop notes. Not even the slightest alcohol burn. MF is light to medium, packed with flavor and a sudden, refreshing dry end with an earthy hops aftertaste. Amazing drinkability. Exceptional, flavorfull Saison.

750 ml bottle pours a hazy yellow with a white head. Strong sour aromas, funky yeast, citrus, and fruit. The flavor is like the aroma tart and very dry. Paired nicely with thai food at Thai Pastry.

Bottle at Akkurat, Stockholm. Hazy yellow/golden color, big white lasting head. Aroma is fruity, sour, yeasty, malty and sourish with some citric notes. Malty and yeasty flavor with some spices and quite sour. Me like...
