From the website (Google translate from French):
"On the occasion of its 100th anniversary, the Kunstencentrum De Vooruit Ghent wished to remind the brewing activity he had had in the early 1900. In this context, the Brasserie Dupont was asked to create a beer based on their wishes. Given the success of this new beer at the event, it was decided to open production for all customers.
* Organic beer, amber color, dry and bitter with a smoky note (specifically peat) in aroma and taste.
This phenolic characteristic is obtained by using a small percentage of malt specially dried with Scottish peat (malt whiskey)."

Kolor miedziano złoty złoty, z początku klarowny, po dolewce zaczyna przypominać mus bananowo jabłkowy. Piwo zdobi biała, wysoka i długotrwała piana. Nie pozostawia jednak żadnych zdobień.
W aromacie słodowość miesza się z nutami trawiastymi, piwnicznymi i drożdżowymi i na próżno tu szukać dymu (słód Whisky). Szkoda.
Noooo jest, nie jakoś bardzo dużo ale jest, jest dym. Trochę to dziwne bo w aromacie za grosz a tu jest. Pierwszy łyk i czuć fajne nuty wędzone, nie jakieś mega mocne znane z rodzimego podwórka, ale są. Dalej podobnie jak w aromacie słodowość i akcenty drożdżowe.
Wysycenie średnio wysokie. Pełnia średnia. Płyn jest miękki i gładki. Pije się łatwo i przyjemnie.
Ambrée voilée à mousse moyenne semi-durable. Arômes fumé et tourbé plein pot sur malt rôti avec du fruité. Le goût est doux, fumé-tourbé, malt-shortbread, Whisky, avec une pointe de sel et de la levure. Notes de paille, fruits et noyaux, citron. Finale sèche avec un amer d'herbes et de bois.
Opaque golden beer with a weak white head and generous bubbliness.
Smell is well-balanced leathery smokey against spicy citrus. Hint of spices and funkiness.
Taste is clean and full. Slightly metallic, with a good fizz. Crisp clean finish.
Compliments for elegantly balancing a saison against a rauchbier! Very drinkable.
Pours a hazy golden orange from the bottle with fluffy cream colored head that dissipates slowly to leave moderate lace. Aroma of smoky malt notes and a touch of Belgian farmhouse esters underneath. Taste follows, a clean smoke and a solid saison to back it up. Definitely interesting, decent enough.
On tap at Kurnik Šopa Hospoda, Ostrava. Pours golden color, white head. Aroma is Smolenicka, bit fruity. Taste is sweet, smoked, fruits, cherries.
Un goût intéressant mais il manque d’équilibre. Le goût tourbé n’est pas assez maîtrisé
Bottle. Pale amber color. Smoked malt in the aroma. At least medium bodied. Bready flavor with peach and smoke. Well made beer.
Robe légèrement ambrée, trouble, belle mousse ivoire haute et de très bonne tenue. Nez principalement sur les céréales avec de belles notes fumées. En bouche, l'aspect fumé et surtot tourbé domine largement, avec une base maltée apportant un corps assez rond et une petite touche de caramel, le houblon est subrepticement perceptible à l'attaque avec une légère amertume et un petit côté herbeux. Une fois n'est pas coutume, on ne retrouve pas trop le goût si particulier de la levure Dupont. Bonne carbo, longueur moyenne, sucre un peu trop présent. Belle bière pour les amateurs de tourbe.
Belgian Ale con ligero toque ahumado
Bottle from Willems. Pours light amber, slightly oily. Aroma lightly smoked. Bierre de garde- like malts, light caramelly. Well made, nice.
Many thanks for this organic beer to tderoeck. 330ml bottle. Oj jak tu malo tego wedzonego aromatu, malusienko, piana srednia, srednio trwala, niemal klarowna bursztynowa piana z odrobinka farfoclow po dolaniu resztek. Ale ogolne pijac to piwo z zawiazanymi oczami w zyciu bym nie powiedzial ze to piwo belgijskie

Bottle shared at home - Amber golden pour with small white ringed head. Sweet and light smoked malty, light meaty notes, charred straw, medium to light body, light smoked malty finish.
Bottle from Belgium. Pours Hazy Golden with a White head. Smokey notes. Phenolic Vaguely. Leather and grainy malts. Correct bitterness. Okay body. Cool.
(bue vite fait sans pouvoir prendre de notes, mais savoureuse, simple, un peu fumée, très fraîche et sympa en discutant)
(Bottle) Golden amber colour with foamy white head. Fruity, spicy nose with citrus, orange, dried apricots, honey, spicy yeast and a mild peat smoke aroma. Fruity, spicy taste with notes of citrus, orange peel, apricots, peaches, honey, funky yeast, hints of smoke and a finish with a gentle citric bitterness and a mild spicy acidity. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Interesting and quite tasty, with spices and a mild peat smoke. Nice one.
Bottle from Brasserie Dupont. Toasted orange amber, clear with a medium white foam head which dissipates to nothing. Nose is smoked beech wood, toasted barley grains, smoked cheese, French bread, grassy, straw, yeasty. Taste is straw, grass, dry yeast, smoked wood, smoked cheese, toasted grains, lightly fruity.
Bottle from Dupont. Hazy golden orange, low head. Estery nose, lightly smoky, apricots, touch of cheese. Slightly more smoky, still estery, more than their saison, slightly phenolic, bread. Bit of orange. Soft, silky. Somewhat soft finish. Interesting and pretty nice.
33cl Bottle @ LaBIRRAtorium, Madrid, Spain.

Zythos 2018. Hazy golden with a lasting white head. Malty aroma with spicy and fruity notes and a touch of smoke. Sweet malty flavour with medicinal peat smoke
Geproefd met Roelzie1986 bij brouwerij het Veem. Het is een troebel gelig bier met een witte schuimkraag. Het heeft een rokerige geur en smaak.
Clear deel blond body. Off-white head. Aroma of caramel and lightly smoked. Balanced flavour.
At Tim home light amber coloured body with a white head and with a smoked malt hops aroma a fruity sweet hops malt taste with a slight bitter finish
Lots of belgium yeast and a health head some sharp hop dryness in the finish and a hint of pleated whisky at the end. An easy going refreashing drink overall. Nice!
Sample from bottle. Unclear golden in color with a whitish head. Mild smokyness, some fruityness as well. Interesting, quite refreshing combination. Smoky taste, some fruitynes here as well. Crisp finish.
Sample from the bottle at Sture 21, Helsinki. Color is slightly cloudy orange with small white head. Aromas and flavors: Some smoke, fruits, citric elements, Belgian yeast and malts. Light Belgian ale with smoke twist.
75cl bottle.
Poured golden color with a thin white head.
Aroma has mild smoke, malts. High carbonation.
Sweet malts, mild smoke, hint of bacon.
Fizzy.
Peat and roast, rotten fruit, of an apple variety, big head, a hint of vanilla at the end. Interessin, kinda like a rauchcider
The smokiness of this caught me off guard - I was expecting a tripel - but it's good. Like a rauchbier but light. A bit of sweetness in the background with a light bod. Easy drinking for the smoked style.
Bière de collaboration avec le Vooruit de Gand, qui est une référence culturelle de la ville, et l'Ecosse … via le malt à whisky. A noter que l'on trouve aussi dans la composition du sirop de blé
bio (mais pourquoi une telle aberration ?? … c'est complètement "vooruit" …).
Niveau abv de 6 %. Mon exemplaire était à 5 mois après sa date.
Couleur orangé clair, avec un tout léger voile.
Bulles fines en fontaine centrale, nombreuses et vives.
Mousse blanche, crémeuse, stable à 2 mm.
Arômes de whisky légèrement fumé, tourbé, pointe de câpres, girofle, pomme aigre.
1ère bouche très souple, sur un ensemble whisky tourbé/malt/fumée.
Arrière-bouche assez dense, sur un ensemble malté plus équilibré.
2ème à la très belle texture, mais à l'ensemble très moyen, peu harmonieux.
Arrière-bouche plus vague que la 1ère.
La longueur est vraiment très monocorde, sans relief intéressant.
Jambes fines, courtes, collantes.
Levure d'une ligne correcte.
Alcool qui ne contribue aucunement aux saveurs, sinon à la lassitude.
Finale qui me laisse rêveur sur l'objectif de pareille bière !!!
CONCLUSION : une bière dont le "triomphe" majeur aura été de faire perdre sa moyenne de 4
à la brasserie … Pour une analyse plus philosophique, vous pouvez vous reporter à la note de
