33cl bottle. Dorée et mousse blanche. Arôme garde un côté sucré avec une levure qui prend un peu le dessus avec une touche légère de cave. En bouche, un houblon herbacé et fruité le tout avec cette levure belge bien distincte qui rappelle de suite la br. Dupont. Bière est douce et finement amer pour une note citronnée balancée par du sucre. Reste dans la lignée et tradition Dupont, et a surement évoluée avec l’age.

Bottle @ Delirium, Brussels.
Pours clear golden with a big, frothy, staying, white head. Aroma has citrus, good dose of floral hops, white pepper and crisp malty sweetness. Medium and soft carbonation, dry and lovely palate. Flavour is lovely, crisp malts, apples, obvious sharp white pepper aftertaste. Super elegant and delicious.

33cl, new exclusive brew Anno 2008, from De Bierloods Adegem, complex brew, balanced, hazy, good head, nice brew

Aroma is moderate malty, light to moderate hoppy, lemon sweet notes, moderate yeasty, spicy, coriander, pepper. Flavor is moderate to light heavy sweet and bitter with a average to long duration, peppery finish. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20090906]

33 cL bottle. Pours hazy yellow to orange with a small white head. Aroma is light fruity, wheat and yeasty. Smooth wheaty, light estery and subdued coriander spiced. Dry and yeasty flavoured finish. Lasting bitterness into the far finish.

Huge, very dense & fine white head, very resistent, over visibly well-carbonated beer, the colour of lemonjuice. Dry, yeasty, nearly wheat-like farmyard aroma’s, lightly peppery, Szechuan pepper or FarChiew. Very dry, grainy and spicy flavours, Dupont yeast-character to the utmost. Very high attenuation and dryness clearly pointing towards the use of white candi sugar. Dried garden herbs & spices. Fully attenuated, yet creamy and spritzy, excellent MF. Even drier and maybe tad more unidimensional than most Dupont beers impress me. Still unmistakable origins.

Golden beer, starts clear at first; good white head. Typical farmyard Dupont nose, spicey & honeyish. Tart, spicey and flowery taste, with grain, and a fatty taste, like sweet frying fat. Despite the tartness, less dry than most Dupont beers. Oily, fatty and slick MF. Surprising beer - some typical Dupont characteristics, while some are completely off. Why?

Drank at Hasselt Beer Weekend, under the label "Helkiase." Brewed for an historic hospital. Blonde and cloudy with a thick white head. Nose is grainy and cidery with banana notes, a touch skunky. Maybe a bit lightstruck, damn those green bottles. Lemony with a skunky bitterness that is not unpleasant. Good stuff actually.

25cl bottle at Delirium Cafe. BB 03/08. Pours clear gold with a white foam. Lovely nose of hay, matured malts, yeast & hops. Smooth and mellow. Well matured. Ends dry. Sooo nice.

Tasting at Brewtopia. Gold pour. Puffy white head. Aroma is full of yeast,spices, oak and some tart fruit. Flavor is yeasty, citrus, spices...has some real earthy components but isn’t overly sour and isnt sweet either.

Dupont...would not have guessed. I guess Wanderpepen is the Alan Smithee of Belgian breweries. Very slightly hazy. Decent body with pear & apple fruitiness and a light bready malt character. A little funky, with a dirty apple note. Meh.
