Dupont Avec les Bons Voeux

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

cloudy off yellow grain color w/ a flufy white head & nice lacing. Avg but delicate palate. Aroma is pretty delicate some notes of hay and a yeasty bread like note, quite light. Flavor is bananna & bread dough some light spices lemon zest a fairly dry fininsh. Quite nice.

750ml bottle from BevMo Carmel Mountain. Pour is a hazy gold with a nice white head. Aroma is spicy and tart with sweet malt, citrus, lemon, pepper, and fruit. Flavors of yeast, citrusy fruit, lemon tart, funk, and alcohol.

750 ml bottle. Nice hazy yellow with a decent white head. Aromas of citrus and some peppery spice. Flavors were more pepper and earth with some breadiness too. Pretty good.

750 split two ways. Lightly hazy, golden in color with a huge long lasting head- it almost got annoying. Active carbonation. Aroma is a bit light struck with skunk- also has citrus, pepper, light banana, and some light malt sweetness and earthy hops. Taste has some light skunk, other than that citrus, light pepper, mild malt sweetness, some light earthy hops. heavy carbonation, prickly and slightly abrasive on the palate. Lightly acidic with some earthy hops and a light hop bitterness in the finish. NIce would have been better if this bottle was not light struck. I would think all breweries would know better than to put their beer into green bottles unless there was no alternative.

Draught at Kulminator. Hazy, golden with a white head, fine lacings. Aroma moderate malty (caramel) and hoppy (lemon). Flavor moderate sweet, heavy hoppy. Medium body.

Draft - Frisco Grille. Hazy gold, creamy off white head. Complex nose of honey, candied apple, corriander, with faint white pepper and banana tones. Taste is much of the same with honey, pepper, fruity esters, and soft underlying grassy and herbal hop notes. Well balanced and well integrated. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry, light pepper fruit finish. Very nice...

Thanks to JPDISPO for opening up this one (and thanks to Clark for the bottle that I’m now able to cellar!) Hazy body with some sediment, and a muted golden-yellow color underneath a head mirrored after pillowy laundry suds and snowstorm lacing. Sugary lemon rinds turning south tempt the senses, followed by coriander and sweet orange peel. Lemon grass and lime juice brush on willow wheat come out in the next waft. Bitter orange peel graces through soon thereafter, moments before the yeast strain lets you know it’s the reason why we’re all here. Take a sip and we’re quite certain that this is one seriously flavored saison. Buttery sweet dough and vanilla buttercream seep in over sucked on lemonheads. Coriander gives a subtle scratch, but the confectionary bakers delight pursues and even sweeter path. Big puffy effervescence and in the dry recession, the spices coriander and chamomile rise up splendidly. Bakery lemon meringue cuts close to spruce. Light hotness if you open the mouth up to the atmosphere post-gestation. Lemon peel and dry beet sugar give a hot, warming finish. This is a beautiful thing.

Cloudy golden, huge rocky head, good lacing and retention. Aroma is spices, pepper, loads of yeast, grass, funk. Flavor brings this with a light alcholic finish. An enjoyable Saison.
