Saison Dupont Biologique

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

Best before 12/2006 25cL bottle consumed on 12/4/05. Pours a very hazy, muted copper and tarnished brass, with some deep rusty hay colored hues and a frothy, large white head, lasting and lacing, with tiny bottle conditioned bubbles rising lightly. Aroma of light dupont yeast, flowers, light cookies and light hay. Very easygoing aroma, with light honey and pale grains, the yeast is quite full in the nose, yet it is such a classy yeast that it does not bully the other flavors, light as they may be. Flavor is full of malt and light yeast. Honey, cookies, soft sugary white dough and light flowers and straw. Lightly bitter, not even half as much as the regular saison, however, with a gentle effervescence and some light yellow fruits. The yeast, while quite pervasive, is not as peppery and refreshing, though still quite clean. Perhaps the sweet doughy, cookieish malts and yeast combine for a bit too much on the sweet/creamy/yeasty side, without enough bitter or flavorful hops, but it’s a minor complaint. The texture is creamy with lightly expansive carbonation and no alcohol.

Bottle 0,75 L. Almost as good as non-biologigic saison. Wonderfull beer, creamy excellent fully lasting head, heavy yeasty aroma, very acetic and powerfull flavour Long finish. Oily palate.

nice farmhouse ale. i’ve alway liked dupont. bready, citrussy, yeasty aroma. taste: yeasty, citrussy, cooky dough, malty and a bit barnyard(grassy, hay). finishes dry, slighly bitter and fruity. spritzy co2, light bodied. yummy beer!

Very little smell but a whole lot of visible yeast. The taste didn’t please me. Give it a try yourself, everyone has different tastes.

Cloudy pale yellow, thick fluffy white head. Mixed bag aroma, fairly well balanced. Slight tang. A little bit yeasty. Not too bad.

[small bottle from an LCBO that did not say "biologique" on it anywhere] Orange with a little brown and a foamy yellowish head that receded to a thin, lasting cover that formed nice lacing. Opaque from the yeast (my pour) with little flecks at the bottom of the glass. Orange lemon banana sweet malt--sweet and sour, but not a dry aroma. Woody, semi-dry taste with not a lot of grape flavour, but relatively vinous nonetheless. Gentle malt flavour that is accompanied by a subtle bitterness that is not hoppy. Light to medium body with high carbonation. Clean, but a bit sweet in the finish.

25 cl bottle: Exp date 09/2006-Like it’s Cousin Saison Moinette Biologique I had last night, this has the appearance of a jar of honey with a white head. Deep Golden, Orangey, cloudy. Very sweet smelling, melons and tangerines with yeast. More tangy tasting than sweet, a sweeter middle but a mettalic tinge that’s strong enough to detract from the fruit. Crisp dry finish. Not as good as the non Organic or the Moinette

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Alongside the non-organic version this wasn’t just quite as good. Nice fruity aroma with the funky Dupont yeast character. Refreshing finish, not just as hoppy, mouthfeel slightly thinner. Still bloody good, though.
