Dupont Avec les Bons Voeux

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

On tap at the Flying Saucer in Ft. Worth. The look is murky, copper colored, decent off white head. The smell is yeast, spices, fruit, lemon, and orange. The taste is yeasty, fruits, spices, wheat, decent alcohol burn at the end.

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.

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.

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.

Orange/yellow color with a decent white head. Big citrus fruit, earthy aroma with dry malts. Medium body. Nice merry go round of flavors range from lightly sweet to bone dry and tart with dusty malts, herbs, an earthy mustiness, grassy hops and lemon; a pretty complex brew here. The finish here is dust bowl dry. Very good. 2177

On tap at the White Horse, Parsons Green, London. Luminous goldem, with no head. Deliciously sweet, slightly creamy. Slight sour funk, which is swept away on the finish by wheaty flavour. Some cider. Warms the chest. Powerful, but easy drinking. Excellent.

750 Bottle with IPFreely @ Delirium Cafe in Brussels. Great beer. Cloudy yeasty, earthy. Lots of tasty bubbles, spritzy. Bubble party on your tongue. Spicy. very very good

i’ve been looking at this bottle for a while. everytime deciding to spend my 11 bucks on 2 or 3 other bottles. but after a fun filled day of driving through crap roads that had a lovely stretch of hidden ce on them to the courthouse where i was almost press ganged into signing a document i was not comfortable with i hit the beer store on my way home.; fuck it. i hope this is worth it, i need something good right now. and it is.leonard cohen turns to bill hicks as i let my music go on random and enjoy this interesting aroma. alcohol, pineapple, earthy straw and a yeasty spice and lemon arma that is delightful. a nice looking beer that is murky yellow brown with a fat lasting smoky white head. tart light sweetness with an herbal note. alcohol is apparent. fruit flavor is anywhere from pear to banana to grapefruit depending on the moment. this is making me long for an orval for some reason. dry finish that rounds this beer out well. although a bit more tart than i expected(or wanted right now), a solid beer none the less.
