100 Beers of 2010: 10/100 - Brasserie Dupont Avec Les Bons Voeux


Beer Style: Saison
ABV/IBU: 9.5%/Unknown
Serving Style: Poured from the bottle into a Gouden Carolus goblet.

Appearance: A creamy wheatish color with a dense, creamy head and good carbonation supporting it. It's hazy, as you would expect from the style. Appealing, for sure. 5/5

Smell: Saison funk, nice aromatics, fresh spicy coriander. 4.5/5

Taste: Rich, creamy, sweet and thick. Tangy with just the right amount of carbonation bite. Orange candy, honey sweetness, peppery, light breadiness, mild frutiness, strawberries. 4.5/5

Mouthfeel: Super velvety, almost like an oatmeal stout with high carbonation. How did they pull this off? 4.5/5

Drinkability: A great saison. I love the creamy, yet effervescent, mouthfeel and the complex array of flavors. One of my favorites that I look forward to every year. 4.5/5

Overall Grade: A
