75cl bottle Bottled in 2002. I’ll admit that I am writing some of this review after the fact. The beer was just too captivating for me to keep taking notes. I’m not a ratings whore, I’m not doing it just to get the rating. But I figured it was time I had an absolute favorite beer. Their Saison is pretty high up there. But this one(hey_kevin and I discussed it as being a tripel) blows me away. Hops. This is a wonderful, hoppy tripel. It isn’t thick or watery. Perfect. Once of the finest smelling beers I’ve ever had. Alcohol is hidden bu a wonderful menage-a-trois of hops, yeast and malt. Some nice farmyard character sneaks up too. I can’t say more. My idea of beer perfection.

AMAZED! Pours a slightly hazed pale yellow w/ a full semi creamy froth that slowly reduces to a full snow white blanket that lays there for the whole duration. Aroma is like a flowery bouquet of fruity malt, citrus and rock candy. Medim nectar w/ ample residual effers including champagne streamers. Possesses a full malty backbone. Flavors are strong yet crisp and refreshing w/ a slight tartness and a deep bittering on the finish. Grapefruit rind, peach, lemon, pineapple, kiwi, slight tropical banana cream. This brew is so strong flavored yet balanced by the high hop that only shows itself on the finish. I could drink it all night. Amazing! Connoiseurs Choice! Highly recommended! Belgian ales never cease to amaze me. I am so thankful we get these fantastic specimens to enjoy in this hot desert climate from someplace thousands of miles away

Avec les Bons Voeux pours to a beautiful, hazy, deep golden color with a thick, creamy, pillowy, white head, and a vibrant carbonation. The nose on this beer is very complex, with big aromas of pale malt, spicy/herbal hops, and peppery alcohol. The palate is richer and fuller on the tongue that Dupont, and has a very silky and smooth pale malty palate. This rich malt is paired with some nice estery fruit flavors, and some lift of carbonation that allows it to dance on the tongue. Avec les Bon Voeux finishes with more pale malt and fruit up front, then ends with a dry/spicy/peppery warming finish, that lingers on the tongue. This is a very delicious, very satisfying beer, that could be matched with a hearty winter dish, such as beef stew, roasted turkey, or leg of lamb. It also makes a perfect beer to relax with, as a digestif, after a big meal. This really is a big(9.5% abv), brawny version of Saison Dupont, and is one that will have you wanting much more than the 750ml bottle it comes in.

Bottle 37,5. Dark golden almost amber color, with big nice white head. Aromas hops, vanille, yeasts. A wonderful, hoppy tripel ! Perfect. The body is full. Great taste but complex alcoholic, yeast, hops, bitter, fruity ... Once of the finest beers I’ve ever had.

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
