Saison Dupont Vieille Provision

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

Bottle sampled at Dayton AleFest ’09. I’m not much of a saison fan but I think this is my favorite so far . Aroma is yeast, soap, fruits. Flavor is a refreshing, full of citrus and spices, with some yeast. Quite a dry finish. Pretty damn good.

My first saison. 750ml bottle. Pours a hazy golden color with a thin white lasting head. Lively carbonation and nice lacing. Aroma is very complex of spicy hops, biscuit malt, sweet fruit and citrus. Full body, very tangy mouth-feel. Peppery hops on the palate are balanced by biscuit malt and sweet fruit with hints of citrus. Finish is long and complex. Great beer.

On tap in a snifter. Smells and tastes like a wonderful Belgian. Huge esters and big spice. Wonderful.

Fruity aroma interspaced with notes of yeast, funk and a bit of must. Flavor was big on fruit and yeast with a lingering earthy, funky finish. Body was on the thin side. Overall a fresh saison.

cloudy golden pour, with a good amount of head and great lacing...nose was horse blanket, grass, and yeast...flavor was much the same

A nose of yeast and hay, similar to the aroma you would find in a Belgian triple. The taste is of yeast and metallic hops. The balance between the sour and the salt is commendable. A nice thirst quencher, but nothing special.

Aroma of yeast, horse and spices. Apperance is light yellow and with a big head. The taste is lightly souer and bitter with hints of hops and yeast. A very well balanced beer with high drinkability.

MOre than a very good beer, it has the taste of a weizne but without being one.
