Dupont Avec les Bons Voeux

the body is unfiltered and almost burnt orange. The aroma has a little bit of orange and a lot of fresh bread. The flavor has a little bit of the citrus flavor as well with a ton of yeast. The palate has a little bit of a harsh boozy egde to it but overall very nice. 6.99 for a 750

Bottle 37,5 cl. Golden/orange, cloudy, and big white foam. It has a rich, full body. The flavor is medium sweet and has a long bitter finish.

750 ml bottle. This saison got my attention from the first sniff and kept it through the last swallow. Appealing frothy white head that sticks around. The body is cloudy dark yellow. The first impression from the aroma is smoke and funk from the yeast. That’s followed with notes of bread and grain, alcohol, caramel and lemon. The flavor is lightly sweet, moderately bitter and moderately acidic. Medium body. Smooth mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Nice warming in the finish. Very nice.

Pours light golden color with soft, bubbly white head. Yeasty aroma with ample spice- coriander, peppery notes, candied sugar, sour apple, citrus, and a bit of alcohol astringency as it warms. Some barnyard yeast reminiscent of a lambic is also present. Flavor initially carries bready and sweet malt notes, but finishes dry and spicey. Really unique balance is achieved both in the flavor and in the palate, which is at once creamy and dry.

750ml bottle: Golden yellow pour with a sticky white head. The nose is huge with lots of lemon lime, coriander, mint, earthy yeast and fresh dough. The body is velvetty and malt driven. Notes of caramel, sweet bread and straw are abound. Finishes tart and dry. Very good.

on tap - mcmenamin’s (philadelphia) - pours cloudy, straw colored blonde. no head at all in the glass. no visible carbonation. sweet aromas of candy sugar, yeast and spices (coriander perhaps?). Flavor is like a thick, distilled, hefeweizen. Sugary sweet, spiciness, some bannana and yeast flavors. Smooth mouthfeel - velvety. Lo carbonation. Quite drinkable, but not what I would traditionally call a "winter" beer. [update] on tap at Capone’s in Norristown PA. Originally $9 for 9oz., reduced to $7 for 9oz. Review above is right on for this batch too. Imperial Saison!

One of my favourites. Drunk on bottle as well from draft. Really very nice with good body and very nice aftertaste. A must for everyone

750 ML bottle: 2006 release. Pours a hazy golden with a lingering medium ivory head. The nose is very complex. There is spice, and yeast on the nose. The taste follows with a bit of coriander, pepper and yeast. The palate is good although not exceptional. The mouth feel is medium. Overall this is a very nice beer although I don’t think it has anything that would define it as a holiday beer in American terms.
