Review – Saison Dupont
From Brasserie Dupont – The brewery has cultured their yeast for taste and aromatic qualities. Because Dupont basically only sells beer from the brewery, they haven’t concerned themselves with developing a yeast that travels well. For the uninitiated, the look of the beer is daunting. However, the sweetest rewards await the adventurous.
Brasserie Dupont – Saison Dupont Vieille Provision – 375ml bottle poured into a beer goblet. 6.5% abv.
Appearance: A vibrant amber gold, with cloudy yeast particles highly visable. A top this cloudy golden wonder, sits a fluffy, pillowy layer of suds, subsiding to a half inch.
Brewing something people should know about?
Since 2007, The Full Pint has been where craft beer fans get their news. Breweries and beer brands can reach them too.
Aroma: Musty water, fruity yeast, light malt, and a very small whiff of earthy hop.
Taste: Lemon, dry, bread crusty malt. Finishes with a dry crisp, bitter hop finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied mouthfeel, with a nice ‘sparkling water’ level of carbonation.
Overall: A really refreshing, flavorful, yet simple beer. This should be easy to find, where Belgian beer is sold.
