750 ml bottle from Jonathan Ron. Poured a cloudy honey golden brown body sitting underneath one of the most impressive heads I’ve seen in a long time. The head was a large fluffy bright white that left giant dollops of marshmellow sized lace on the side of my Hennepin glass that would drop into the body as I rotated my glass after each sip. The aroma had lots of pepper, flowers and bread about it with some underlying honey and citrus fruits. Medium bodied with small bubbly champagne like carbonation and a finsih that is so dry it actually dried out the top half of my throat. Flavors of dried out flowers, bread, pepper, thym and citrus. Nice but I think I prefer the regular ole Saison Dupont more.

Dec 11, 2009 Hazy gold with brown specs throughout. Nose is a nice blend of citrus and grass, pepper, and a blast of bitter barn, almost baking soda levels. Flavor is peppery with nice barn, grass, yeast, and light alcohol. Quite bitter and dry, not as funky as Ommegeddon but close.
