Golden-yellow clear bear with white creamy head. A light bitter taste with one of the best hops-taste. Tasted at the pub accross the Dupont-brwery in Tourpes and in Leuven from a tap. Taste also better from tap than the 25cl bottle. One of the better Pilseners

(Bottled) Slightly hazy golden with a smallish, bubbly head. Crisp and hoppy aroma with lemon, grainy malt and hints of honey. Very grassy and smoothly, but strongly hoppy flavor with yeasty hints. Refreshing, medium-bodied palate with smooth carbonation. An excellent, crisp and refreshing pils.

UPDATED: MAR 11, 2010 On tap at Brugge BF 08. Gold lasting cream head. Good crisp hop, lasting finish. Bit empty in the middle. Good sherbert stinging hop/carbonation. Slight hop aroma. Bit of acid. 2.6/5. On tap at Nuetnigenough, Brussels. Clean, good deepish lemon flavours. Very clean finish with good crisp real tasty hop. Excellent pils.

Draught at the Carrboro Beverage Company. Light straw yellow pour with a slight haze and one finger of white head. Nice and spicy/grassy hop character with a mild sweetness and some hay. Crisp and prickly mouthfeel with a medium hop bitterness and slight bready character.

Tasted on 7/31/11 on draft at Bangers and Lace. Pours a very clear pale golden with an average white head that slowly recedes to a thin collar of lace. The nose is malty with cereal and hay, along with a bit of earthy yeast aroma, and peppery noble hops. The flavor is the same, lightly sweet up front, moving to the earthy yeast and spicy noble hops. The body is light with average, but stinging, carbonation, and a long spicy noble hops finish.

Draft at Les Caves Dupont. Bright golden color. Aroma of black pepper and dusty hay. Taste is refreshing and not too bitter.

Draught, Akkurat Generous firm white and compact white meringue tops the clean, filtered very effervescent golden light pour.Quite fresh, but not so aromatic in the nose. Hay-like malts with mild graininess, but no complexity. Soft growing bitter herbal hops slowly take over while mild honeyed touches stay in the back. Very sweet for a pils, grainy, herbal. Firm bodied, but leaving a certain sweet residue. Despite the hops in heavy doses, it never manages to be quite dry enough. Lots of cereals in there, full bodied. Not too Dupontesque. Possibly not so good, sweeter than I expected, but still fairly hoppy and the idea of a pils from Dupont just seduced me.

ZBF 2008. The pour reveals a clear golden color with a medium frothy white head. Good, crisp aroma of pilsener malt with underlying noble hops. The flavor is about crisp pilsener malt and noble hops, it feels fresh, sharp and refreshing, there’s some bitterness in the end. The body is medium with a creamy texture and medium to lively carbonation. In my mind, a pilsener from Dupont could only be interesting and I can say that I wasn’t let down by this excellent brewery.

Draught at brewery owned Tap across from the facility. Clear gold with a pure white, big creamy marshmallow head. Clean bitter flavor with a grainy mall sweetness. Under rated IMO.

25 cl bottle, bottled / ’bbe’ = ? 5 % vol. alc. Dark golden colour with a myriad of tiny particles and a very modest head. In the nose, a fine balance between hops and freshly baked bread. Malty, grainy taste with the same baked/toasted notes, a hint of figs and a good dosis of hops in the end. Relatively light body.
