Dupont Avec les Bons Voeux

Draft at DRE. Hazy medium gold pour with fluffy off-white head. Aroma is funky, spicy yeast, dry flowery notes, hopcitrus. The mouthfeel is velvety, very smooth, very complex, with dry floral notes coupled with spicy and funky yeast notes, plus a solid hop bill, and some citric fruity flavor qualities. This one is a very nice saison.

golden pour with no real head at all. mostly malts and spices on the nose. very interesting taste that i can’t quite place besides the bitterness.

Draught at Blue Nile, Minneapolis. Last pull from the keg before it blew. Belgian qualities in the aroma; fresh, gym locker room. A little allspice in the nose as well. Unique and yeasty. Murky, dark gold. Thick, large, slightly off-white head with artistic lace. Creamy, yeasty aroma. Very good brew.

Hazy golden pour, big fluffy white head. Aroma is yeasty, spicy and a touch of citrus. Flavor has an earthy taste to it with light fruits, apples, pears, honey sweetness in the background. Dry mouthfeel but a slight citrus tartness and lots of lively carbonation. The yeasty is the dominating flavor with a good amount of hops in there as well with a touch of light fruits. Just an easy drinking beer.

Cloudy gold; nice lingering head. Aroma of lemon, yeast, bread, white pepper. Flavors are of a very rich saison and also include coriander, clove, citrus, sour apple, amber malt, honey, slight alcohol and burnt caramel. Rich and refreshing, I usually age this for a couple of years, but it’s good fresh also, bottle or draft.

Bottle from Marcus (thanks!) at wine frig temperature. Very yeasty aroma, accompanied by citrus and light brownish sugar. Hazy orangey gold color with a white head that persisted. Mild lacing. Medium bodied with creamy carbonation. Flavor is yeasty, lightly fruity (apricot, peach, that sort of fruit) with a nice level of bitter - which could be floral. There is some spicey tingle; peppery? The finish is dry, clean, a little bit puckery. Drinks very nicely. Could be a tad funky, as there’s a woody note. The flavors move around as drinking progresses and the glass warms. Great.

750 ml bottle. Beer pours orange hazy with visible residues and nice white head. This beer has a nice inviting grassy aroma. Yeast and hop flavors predominate and alcohol is very well hidden. An amazingly enjoyable beer to drink.

Van t’vat, Erasmus, Brugge. Orange haze draped with lace. Fat, yeasty, tropical fruit-accented aroma with a hint of banana. Chewy citrus, earthy rind, and banana esteriness. Intense hop bitterness to finish. Impressively hoppy, full-flavoured strong ale.
