Mmmh. Flot, grumset farve. Mild aroma. Bitter balance. Tør i eftersmagen. Dejlig saison.
Hazy golden color with a large creamy white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Toasty, pils malt, grass, citrus, wheat, pepper, dry finish.
Bottle at home in London - picked up at Caps and Taps. Pours hazy orange-gold with a big, frothy, pure white head. Lots of dried, flaked wheat in the aroma, some lemon peel, mellow yeast expression, sourdough, crispy grains. Light-medium sweet flavour with further citrus peel, soft bitter hay, more biscuits, pale grains, nips of grass, white grape, peach. Medium bodied with active, massaging carbonation. Finishes with smooth biscuits, mild lemon peel, grass, soft saison yeast, a little more white grape, straw. It’s kind of like laying your head on a fluffy pillow. This one doesn’t wow at the outset, but the more I drink the better it gets. Wonderful stuff.
Bottle shared with Koelschtrinker. Trübes hell goldgelbes Bier mit einer mittelgroßen weißen schaumkrone. Geruch ist trocken hopfig, grüne Äpfel, hefig, bananig. Geschmack ist sehr hopfig bitter, hefig, bananig, grüne Äpfel. Toll!
Starke Karbonisierung. Hopfig-alkoholischer Antrunk. Trocken herb mit geringer Würzigkeit, zu viel Alkohol, trocken. Meh. 10/8/7/7/8/7
Cloudy, golden pour with thick, fine rocky white foam that lasts. Lots of musty yeast in the nose and notes of floral, grassy, barnyard, and peppery elements. The herbal / floral notes come out strongly in the taste with an initially dry, vinous finish. A distinct malt presence gives the beer a slightly slippery texture and slightly sour finish. But there is a tart acidity in the yeast that is, perhaps, picked up by the hops that balance the malt and wheat sweetness. The body is medium / light body with moderate fizz. The minerally notes are less present here. A fruitier saison than Dupont’s flagship.
(Bottle, 0.375 l - BBE 02/2020, at One Pint Pub, 20170703) The beer poured deep golden and mostly clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had spiciness, grass, fruitiness and Belgian style yeast. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were spiciness, fruitiness, grass, Belgian style yeast, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was spicy, fruity, hoppy and bitter. A pleasant hoppy saison.
37,5cl bottle. Hazy dark gold color. Thin white head. Taste is medium. Medium body. Dry body. Aroma and flavour is pepper, yeast, hops, leaves, pineapple, tangerine.
Botella. Hazy golden colour with a big fairly well lasting white head leaving a good lacing. Pleasant fresh tart flowery herbal citrus hoppy aroma. Good mouthfeel. Flavour: tart, lots of flowery hops, some spice, sweet like, citrus, dry, very nice!
375ml bottle. Bier Huis, Ossett. Shared with the missus, and I had the bottom half, so it’s really hazy, vibrant gold. Thick, foamy, lacing, white head. Lovely looker. Nose has Dupont yeast. Some lemon. White pepper. Green peppercorn. Some baked apple. Some ripe banana. Taste is a little bready and sweet. Some dryness. Soft and foamy mouthfeel. Some hop spice on the finish, and a dryness on the close.
Bouteille de 375ml. Une robe dorée totalement translucide. Un nez de coriandre, malt pils, grain, levure belge. Une bouche sèche avec des herbes, gazon, marquée par le grain des malt pils et le houblon vert. Pas sauvage, une vrai saison verte.(10-2019).
Bottle (375 ml) from Systembolaget. Clear to shady straw golden, large white head. Classical Duponnt house aroma, with floral and slightly citric hops. Really good stuff.
375ml bottle. Milky, yellow-ish, bright golden colour with average to huge, fluffy, mostly lasting, moderately lacing, white head. Fruity, spicy, floral and herbal, hoppy and yeasty aroma, notes of dill, white pepper, mustard seed, underlying fruity notes of apricot, peach and quince, embedded in some malty sweetness. Taste is initially mellow malty, fruity, with dry and bitter hoppy overtones, then blossoms into full development, with herbal, spicy and tart-ish fruity flavours, minimally dusty, yeasty spiciness, notes of apricot, peach, mirabelle, some sage and bay leaf, a touch of white pepper, mustard seed, green apple; soft palate, excellent gentle carbonation. A work of art!
Kolor i nagazowanie odpowiednie, w zapachu lekki chmiel, trochę fenoli. W smaku fenole, lekka, przyjemna goryczka, trochę nut winnych i przyprawowych. Niestety trochę wodniste, ale poza tym przyjemne piwo.
Color dorado, turbio, con capa de espuma blanca de tres dedos de grosor (retención decente). Carbonatación media. Textura acuosa y efervescente. Aroma frutal (pera, manzana),floral, a hierba, húmedo. Sabor frutal (de nuevo pera y manzana), herbal, refrescante, con ligero amargor final. Regusto y postgusto seco, invita a dar un trago tras otro. Riquísima.
29-04-17 // bottle shared at Le Petit Belge, Wiesbaden. Hazy orange beer, solid head. nose is light yeast, floral hops. Taste is light yeasty, grassy, floral, mild bread. Well carbonated, light funky. Mild hoppy bitter finish.
Petite déception sur cette Saison Dry Hopping 2016 de chez Dupont. Non que celle-ci ne soit pas une bière bien agréable, ni bien construite, mais sur leurs opus précédents, ils avaient mis la barre tellement haute, que cette version en Brewers Gold déçoit quelque peu et notamment sur l’arrière bouche pas à la hauteur. Celle-ci fera néanmoins le bonheur de beaucoup d’amateurs de saison. En verre, sa couleur est blond clair (EBC aux alentours de 21), légèrement voilée, avec une effervescence importante et une mousse blanche, crémeuse et abondante, de plusieurs centimètres. Le Nez est très agréable, frais, floral et accompagné d’arômes d’agrumes et de céréales. L’attaque est parfaite, sur un bel équilibre malt/houblon et de très jolies notes d’agrumes accompagnées d’une pointe épicée (expression à la fois fruitée et épicée du Golden Brewers). La seconde bouche est sur des arômes de pain et une arrière bouche peu développée présentant une légère amertume épicée. la troisième bouche reprend la direction de l’amertume, moyennement intense avant un final, plus intéressant, où le dry hopping s’exprime très bien, avec une amertume plus saillante, plus herbacée et épicée. L’alcool joue quant à lui très bien son rôle et le sucre est parfaitement dosé. Sensation mitigée donc en fin de dégustation, connaissant la capacité de la brasserie Dupont à faire de grandes saison Dry Hopping. Mais comme le disait Talleyrand : "Quand je me regarde, je me désole, quand je me compare, je me console" Et il va sans dire que cette saison est bien meilleure que nombre de saisons présentes sur le marché. De plus je vais pouvoir passer à la 2017!
Bottle. Nose is softly funky, floral, yeast, very light tropical notes, lime. Taste is funky leading to grapefruit, lime, citrus, and a dry mineral finish with pepper and spice. Mouthfeel is clean with a sharp carbonation.
375ml corked bottle@home in Trappist glass@approx 10 degrees C. Pours hazy light golden orange with medium white head with short retention leaving the "Belgian clotting" in a thin white cover over the beer. Aroma of citrus, yeast, grass and fresh bread. Taste reflects aroma but with a distict hoppiness and peppery spiciness also kicking in. Medium body and effervescent mouthfeel with a long, lingering aftertaste. The added hoppiness to a great Belgian saison took a little getting used to, but I enjoyed the beer more and more as I drank it. Still prefer the Vielle Provision from the Dupont brewery though - more traditional and better balanced.
A 375ml corked and caged bottle, 2016 cork with a best before date of July 2019. Poured into a Lost Abbey teku. It was a hazy golden orange colour with a two finger white head that dissipated fairly quickly and left nice lacing. Aromas of sweet juicy mandarin, orange, lemon, grass, yeast and pepper spice. Taste follows the aroma closely with citrusy mandarin, orange, lemon, hay, grass, yeast and pepper spice. Starts sweet, ends lightly bitter. Dry, light to medium bodied with high carbonation. Overall, another great, easily drinkable Saison from Dupont.
Super decent Belgian classic with a twist. Not power hopped, but maintains its classic, Belgian estery flavours. Slightly grassy.
Aromat - słabo, jakaś słodowość, fenole ledwo wyczuwalne.
Piana - przeobfita, biała,
Przyjemnie owocowe, fenolowe, lekko alkoholowe a’la tripel. Generalnie dość ciężkie.
Bouteille avec un BB de octobre 2019. Robe dorée trouble surmontée d’un gigantesque col de mousse blanc et dense qui s’effondre tranquillement en laissant une forte dentelle. Arômes de levures saisons épicées, zeste de citron, orange pas tout à fait mûre, herbes fraîches pouvant ressembler à de la rhubarbe. En bouche, levures saisons reconnaissables de la brasserie, poivre blanc, agrumes secs. Arrière-goût de melon-miel, pamplemousse et poivre. Texture sèche et huileuse, limite onctueuse et corps mince à moyen.

pours hazy and almost cloudy pale golden with a frothy and creamy white head offering good retention and lacing. fresh minty herbs, lightly sulphuric brewers gold, spicy and herbal nobleness, creamy orchard fruitiness, warming wooden alcohol, lots of spices - cardamom, exotic peppercorns; stunning dupont yeast action - fruity, zesty, spicy and lightly estery; some indigenous traces, salt. bright and fluffy carbonation, light body - silky texture; drying grassy-herbal-spicy finish. another solid dry-hopped saison from dupont.
Der Brewers Gold bringt erdige Würzhopfflavours ins ansonsten makellose Saison. Schäumend wogend und zutiefst verkräutert geht das Gute ins Rennen. Nice. Pot, Funknase & unwiderstehliche Weizenstumpfheit machen es nicht unattraktiver. Gibt den Hopfen das Saison 😉. And let the summer begin. 375ml für ca. 4€. BEYOND BEER HH.
Pours a hazy golden with a medium white head that leaves nice lacing. Nose is of classic Saison Dupont pepper and herbs but this time it feels (even more) fresher, must be from the dryhopping. Taste is more of the pepper, fresh hops, some cereals. Gently bitter as always. Dry. Body is medium, carbonation moderate. A might fine saison! I could drink this all the time... better start brewing again!
Thanks Poljo! Hazy yellow gold with a white head. Fresh full herbal-citric hoppy aroma. Full carbonation blast, excellent blend of lemony and herbal hoppiness both with the carbonation and the saisonish backgroind with its phenolic touches. Excellent!
