Dupont Avec les Bons Voeux

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

January 31 2004 Hazy golden with big fluffy white head, bit of yeast and spice in the aroma and flavour. I couldn’t pick out a ton of aroma out of it. Flavour is very subtle does not give any hint of the alcohol content it holds. Good beer but too unassertive for me. 6/3/6/3/15<P> August 2001 Belgian, I am assuming its a tripel (i was wrong). Strong, rather alcoholic taste. Somewhat interesting aroma. Decent but not especially great. 6/3/5/3/10

This saison pours a cloudy deep peach orange color form a cork-finished 750ml bottle. Large sized, long lasting white foamy head, with good retention and excellent lacing. Aroma is fruity, spicy and floral. A medium bodied saison. The malts are fruity; lots of orange, green apple and lemon fruitiness give way to spiciness and grassiness. A little yeasty as well. A little hoppy for a saison, but it works, that hop bite balances and mixes well with the fruit, spice and yeasty. Lively carbonation. Hides the 9% alcohol well. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is crisp and nearly bone dry. Aftertaste is slightly tart.

This corked and caged bottled brew bottled in 2005 came from a bottle shop and poured a extremely large sized head of foamy finely sized off-white colored bubbles that was mostly lasting and left behind a hazy softly carbonated dark . The aroma was fruity farmhouse malty and doughy. The crisp mildly vinous mouth feel was tingly at the start with a mellow finish. The crisp saison flavor contained notes of mild hops fruits and was mildly vinous. Delicious and one I would certainly buy again.

Bottle. Average fizzy white head that mostly lasted. Fair lacing. Hazy orange color. Dust, barnyard, grain, spice, citrus, fruit, caramel, liquorish, yeast and herbs. Full bodied with a lively carbonation. Moderated sweet flavor with some bitter notes and hint of acidic. Light alcoholic texture. Spicy sweet finish. Excellent Saison!

Draft tulip at FRTH, Denver. Poured with a nice golden appeal and a nice esthery nose. It drinks with a bubble-gummy spiciness, and ends with a stark dry finish. (#3512, 2/19/2009)

Bottle at Kulminator. Cloudy orange - white head. Wheaty, mould, earthy, dusty, spidersweb, light sweetness, yeasty ,light licorice yeasty. OK !!

(Bottled, 0.75l) Hazy golden color with a large, white, quite tight head. Quite strong, dryish, earthy, yeasty and hoppy aroma with a hint of cardamom and thyme. Dry, hoppy, yeasty and fruity flavor with peppery spiciness and a hint of alcohol in the finish. Somewhat acidic, but gets softer and sweeter with the yeast poured in. Medium-bodied, dryish, bitter-hoppy, biting palate. A very nice, saison-like, crisp and strong ale. Maybe the strongest-hopped Dupont.

Fantastic appearence. As beutiful white head rarely seen.Fruithy and spicy. A bit more complex and abstract than La chouffe. The style of category is Saison. A wallone family brewing tradition. This was originally a new year gift to the brewers themselves but is now avaliable all year!
