Pours hazy blonde with a thick foamy white head. Nose is like a dusty attic, chalk, cheese. Aroma of citrus and herbs. Flavorbalance good between sweet and sour. Very silky mouthfeel and alcoholcontent only noticeable as it warms.
Good beer. AgentSteve (1334), SF Bay Area, California, USA Dec 31, 2008 Pours a bright hazy golden orange with a thin off white head. Nose is full and earhty with some tart citrus. The flavor is the same but a bit more complex and a light mouthfeel. pantanap (1323), Chicago, Illinois, USA Dec 31, 2008 750ml bottle from west lakeview.... pours a hazy cloudy orange with an overflowing fluffy white head... aroma of earthy mustiness with a medicinal citrus qualities... flavors of citrus with a minerally consistency with lively carbonation. abv is hard to detect. goes down and an above average mouthfeel. i wonder how this one tastes with some age on it... daniele (1642), Italy Dec 31, 2008 chiara buona schima buona persistrnza note erbacee maltate speziate leggermente alcoliche in bocca speziature leggero alcolico buon amaro brew4all (102), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Dec 30, 2008 Nice fruit aroma with a cloudy golden pour. The taste was sharp and full of fruit and spice. Lasting crispness that finished dry and full. Good Saison timfoolery (482), California, USA Dec 30, 2008 Bottle from Valley Wine in Davis, CA. This brew is the champagne of beers. It was the fullest Saison I’ve tasted with sweet flavors of citrus and flowers. There was slight spice and some hops to it. Overall, I was very impressed, even though it’s not my favorite style. mgoy (343), Oak Brook, Illinois, USA Dec 29, 2008 On tap at Hop Leaf in Chicago. I drank this during a dinner with Graham, Tara and John during my first vacation.
Dupont Avec les Bons Voeux is a very good strong saison. The color is a clear yellow with a thin and quickly disappearing head. The aroma is sweet with natural fruit notes rather than the sugary notes I am used to tasting in a saison. I believe the high alcohol level is responsible for the difference. The finish is very nice and wet yet light and enjoyable.
