COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bottle conditioned.
Saison Dupont is a classic Belgian farmhouse ale. This is a beautifully balanced, complex beer that has a refreshing fruitiness and long, dry finish. It is bottled unfiltered so it may be cloudy or have a slight sediment but this is normal and perfectly natural.

ryanknock (150) - San Francisco, USA - FEB 18, 2009
Nose of bitter orange, clove, white pepper, and light grapefruit, biscuit, grain and bubblegum. Huge off-white head, deep straw color, quite hazy. Medium to large mouthfeel, due to very well carbonation. Flavors similar to nose, but more pears, apples and bubblegum, and slight earth. Finish is very bitter, dry and lingering. One of a kind.

Very similar to Hoegaarden but without the distinct tartness, more like a German weissbier. Tasty and refreshing, foaming incredibly much!

kwik-lime (654) - London, ENGLAND - MAY 30, 2012
Cloudy yellow with great head retention. Really good aroma of citrus and hops. Nice dry bitterness but the sour finish overpowers it for me.

radagast83 (2408) - Fairfax, Virginia, USA - MAY 29, 2012
Picked up a 750ml bottle, split three ways. Poured a slightly cloudy yellow color with a thick foamy white head, lacing. Aroma was citrus, with plenty of yeast chaacter, hops. Very dry - touch of spice tartness, with some light fruits. Nothing out of the ordinary, but very enjoyable.

kiwianer (717) - Mönchengladbach, GERMANY - MAY 29, 2012
Die Schaumkrone hält mittelmäßig bis gut fällt aber ungleichmäßig zusammen. Es riecht fruchtig-hefig, etwas citrusartig-alkoholisch. Geschmacklich hefig, süß säuerlich, dann hopfig matt, im Nachgeschmack etwas herber. Im Verlauf des Bieres wird es immer säuerlicher. Insgesamt ein Bier mit süß-säuerlichem und etwas herberem Charakter. Ich denke ich hätte es noch etwas lagern sollen. Fazit: Trinkbar aber nichts besonderes! Test vom 9.1.2011, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 11,9,9,9,10,9 - 9,25

StueyD (664) - Heacham, King’s Lynn, Norfolk, ENGLAND - MAY 26, 2012
Very pale golden yellow coloured beer with a frothy white head. Spicy and fruity nose, similar to a wheat beer, some clove and tropical fruits, plus a bready yeastiness. Fizzy mouthfeel. An initial sour taste, citrusy, grapefruit and lemon, with a taste similar to pear drops. Then slightly grassy, the yeasty element from the aroma comes through late. The finish is fizzy and sour.

craig220 (40) - Crofton, Maryland, USA - MAY 26, 2012
Aroma is like bananas and slightly skunky maybe a bit of vanilla. It poured a cloudy golden color with a humongous white head that stayed forever. The taste is a refreshing blend of lemon, banana, and slightly sweet. Feels light of body with a lot of carbonation. Bitter finish.

On tap at horse and hound in Charlottesville, VA. This is a particularly banana heavy keg. Hard to argue with SD but not its best day. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

330ml bottle. Pours golden with a large head. Aroma is light, peppery yeast. Taste has peppery straw to start. Sweet, yeasty dry finish. A little bubblegum on the aftertaste.

Bottle at bar. Thick yellow color, full white head. Sweet fruity taste with some citrus, banana, peach flowers and grass. Awesome saison.

BenH (737) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - MAY 13, 2012
Bottle. Golden with decent white head. Lots going on in the aroma, earthy mustiness, citrus, honey, light nuttiness. Taste has some earthy yeast notes, some light esters, citrus lemon. Tickles the palate with a dry refreshing finish. Very good
