As Dupon Foret on draft @ The Brickstore Pub. Hazy gold color with a large white head. Malty aroma with notes of lighter fruits, yeasty, clove, and dusty. The flavor had a sweet start with a semi-dry finish. Mild bitterness on the finish with a light hoppiness. Some warming sensation.

2004? bottle from my cellar. This quickly fills the glass with a tall head of tight white foam over a hazy light gold body. Beautiful lacing. Fresh lemony aroma. Musty fruit. Spicy with some sweetness and a soft tartness. Light and refreshing. Very drinkable.

Golden with a fully receding wispy wihte head. Aroma of herbs, citrus, grassy hops, and coriander. Taste is grassy herbal bitterness, with yeasty esters providing notes of honey, peaches, and flowers. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with slight stickiness and lush carbonation. Yes, i am fan of this beer. I’m sure i’m not alone.

Moinette Biologique (aka Foret) 750 ml bottle Bottled 2005, delected 08/06 Medium pour and soft pour in a tulip glass First pour was 2/3 head, second pour was a bit more reasonable with a 2 inch white frothy fully lasting head with a murky straw colored body. Smelt of light grassy hoppiness, heavy sweet doughy yeasts, with hints of allspice, fruity esters, banana and dust. Taste was sweet spice upfront, with light bitter hoppiness, strong sweet fruit and bread spice, that slowly mute down in an average length finish. Mouthfeel was medium-light, dry, lively and chalky. Overall, an easily drinkable, flavorful Saison ale that nears perfection.

Robe blonde légèrement voilée surmontée d’une mousse blanche épaisse en dentelle qui persiste. Arômes légers de houblon amérisant épicé. Saveurs de levures et de houblon amérisant citronné.

Hazy yellow-orange in color. Poured in a Duvel tulip. Wonderful fluffy white head. Aroma could be picked up from my chair! Malt and fruit in the aroma. Wow. A bit of a dry bite at first sip. Finishes with a resiny spice and still very dry. This was a great pick that I’m proud I made!

On draft at The Brick Store Pub in Decatur. I ordered a Saison DuPont but they were out. Saison Foret was available instead so I took it. It was an fantastic replacement. Bright hazy orange gold with a dense and frothy white head. Significant fine lacing. Smells very peppery, spicy, dry and banana-ish. Odd for a saison (the banana, I mean). Ever had Saison Dupont? This tastes very similiar (now I see that it is from the same brewery so that makes sense.) Some sweet malt, lots of pepper and spice. Banana flavors still evident in the taste. Quite dry, lots of pepper in the finish and aftertaste. Really tasty. If I wasn’t there for a beer tasting, I could have stuck with this all night. This goes to the top of my saison list.
