Saison Dupont
9 Apr
Name - Saison Dupont
Country - Belgium
Type - Saison
Appearance - Poured a quite cloudy golden color with a big bubbly head that left a good amount of lacing on the glass.
Smell - Very distinguishable scent of yeast upfront with a slight fruit background.
Taste - Tastes of apples and yeast upfront and finished with a dry, smooth finish. Pretty much just like the bottle describes.
I first noticed this over at my fellow beer bloggers Mike and Nate’s site Thank Heaven for Beer. The review of that intrigued me so much that I had to pick up a bottle of my own. This is a wonderfully made beer that was a great to drink while watching Lost. This will be perfect one for the upcoming summer months.
Overall Grade – A
Thanks for giving us props on this. It’s almost more important that you were able to try this very good beer. I’m glad that our suggestion was not a flop for you. We’re always looking for new stuff, so we all borrow from each other.
No problem Mike, it was a great recommendation and I thank you for it.
OK, two thumbs up from two different Mikes! That’s almost as good as Homer Simpson giving a 10 thumbs up rating!
Anyway, saw this last night but passed it up (focusing on English Ales) but I’ll definitely try it as a summer beer. Sounds like a slam-dunk of beer goodness!
It will definitely go well during the hot, sticky summer months that will be coming up.
thanks for the shout out mike…with all the great reviews I am bummed that my bottle was skunked.
No problem Nate. That sucks that you got a bad bottle but hopefully you will be able to get a good one in the future.
Just had my first ever bottle. Wow! Paid $8.99 for 750ml and it was worth every penny. Wish I could translate what my palette was experiencing
Yeah it is worth it Sponge.
