Bottle from Organic Brewers Fest... Poured a cloudy orange with a thick white head. Spiced, yeasty and bread-like aroma. Dry palate, crisp and refreshing. Yeast and bread flavors with a honey, earthy sweetness and cucumber-like vegetables.

This 2006 vintage 750mL of Dupont Foret poured hazy gold with thin white head. The aroma is fruity with apples, sugars and yeasty spice. Nice aroma. The taste has a pulse of grains then moving into a brief note of apple, apricot and then mild sugar sweetness. This brew is smooth and tasty ending with the added sense of a moment of tartness.

33cl bottle of Foret from Bev4less in Santee. Pours a cloudy yellow color with a big sudsy white head that has fair retention. The nose is spicy with white pepper, thyme, dried grass and some lightly funky yeast. The flavor is rich and complex with light fruits, grass, spice, a hint of bubblegum, and some barnyard funk. The mouthfeel is light and satisfying. The finish is medium and dry. Overall: A top notch saison. I very much enjoyed this.

750 ml bottle 2008. Pours a hazy deep golden light orange with a massive sticky white head and nice lace. Aroma is very hoppy- grassy, herbal and almost a slight bit minty, esp when chilled- as it warms the yeasty esters and phenols come out - typical dupont strain- mineral , salt, fresh cut hay, farmhousey, with beautiful fresh bready malts and toast. Flavor is initially a orange chalky pez, minerallyness, with fresh grassy hops and light citrus, light minty bubblegum and yeasty doughy phenols- with slight leather in the finish. For a 7.5% saison the finish is there but it is so minerally and bone dry- very refreshing. Awesome saison.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy orange golden with a medium frothy white head that lasts awhile leaving behind decent spotty lacing along the glass with a lot of carbonation and bubbles. The aroma is a fruity malt with light floral hops. Medium mouthfeel wtih a sour fruit taste with apple and citrus. Easy to drink hiding the alcohol well, a very good refreshing saison form Dupont Brasserie.

Pours yellow with a big white head. Aroma is pungent. Sweet, pleasantly funky yeasty smell with a kick of alcohol (like champagne). Taste is sweet, some citrus, malty, and the spice hits you at the end. I really liked this one.

2008 bottle. Nice yeasty aroma hits you as the cork pops out of the bottle. Cloudy golden pour with a huge white head with lots of tiny bubbles. Good carbonation. I agree with the others that say it has a grassy flavor. You also get tastes of yeast and some citrus. It leaves a dry taste in my mouth with some spiciness at the end.
