150 cl bottle @ Gastropub Tuulensuu, BBE 01/2011 (or at least the label said so)
Rather light and a bit stalish aroma with lot of yeast and some vegetables and hints of spices and fruits. Flavour has yeast, some vegetables and a bit harsh hops. A bit disappointment from Dupont, less refreshing and worse than the original.

2011 magnum. Cloudy gold with a large white head. Aroma of lemon pudding, pears, nectarines, some earthy yeast, meadows. Taste has light fruity sweetness, slight funky sourness, very dry finish with spicy bitterness. Fruity with lemons, oranges (moreso towards the bottom of the bottle), melons, stone fruit. Creamy and highly carbonated mouthfeel. Misses out on some of the yeastiness of the normal one and the aroma is crowded, but the almost Orvalish dry spicy bitter finish is a reasonable swap. Hits that sophisticated but still rather rustic mark that Dupont does pretty well.

Draught at Akkurat. Unfiltered. Cloudy, yellow liquid with white head. Aroma is much hoppier and less funky than the normal Saison Dupont with notes of floral, noble hops, grass, some light malt/bread and of course a bit spicy yeasty action. Taste is dry, medium bitter and overall very clean and fruity. Not as yeast dominated as the original. Light to medium bodied with nice, high carbonation and dry mouthfeel. Overall, much better than I thought it would be and a great thirst quencher in the summer. Really nice flavour and aroma.

2011 version, draught. Lovely cloudy gold. Huge fragrant hop nose, citrus, grass, something like melon, and light, bready malt. Light, clean flavor with big grass, dry fruitiness and some citrus. Very dry, and very bitter. Clean as hell. Not quite as complex as the regular saison in the bottle, but great. Bitter and dry as a bone.

2012-11-06, draught at La Fine Mousse, Paris, 8-5-6-2-13=34
Cloudy golden color, creamy head. The aroma is delicate, very nice, spicy. Dry mouthfeel, lean, astringent, soapy, with some chemicals, not stylish; the ending bitterness is somehow disturbing. Controversial.
2011-05-13, draught at Ørsted, Copenhagen, 7-3-6-2-12=30
Cloudy blond color; small head. The aroma is quite true Belgian, the body is lean, unfortunately the flavor tends to give some plastic; correct bitterness; refreshing, but the final is dry and a bit dull. Mixed feelings.

Handbottled (thanks Kike!). Slightly hazy orangeish golden colour with a mediumsized white foamy head. Aroma is fruity, earthy, mildly barnyardy and quite spicy. Flavour is otherwise the same, but also has a bunch of tropical fruity juice like notes and some herbs. Aftertaste is fruity, spicy and yeasty.

Bottle: Poured a bright dirty orangey color ale with a huge foamy head with great retention and some very good lacing. Aroma of rustic Belgian malt with light funky ester and some dry Noble hops. Taste is quite complex and refreshing at the same time with light barnyard notes with some rustic malt and a dry hoppy aftertaste with light notes of cat’s urine. Body is full with great bottle-conditioning and some super good carbonation with no apparent alcohol. Very well brewed with nice complexity and hoppy notes but good drinkability factor as well.

Draught at Københavnske Øldage 2011. Hay golden, small head. Pleasant and evident hay aroma. Dry and elegant, soft and fresh with medium body. Hay-like hops match marzipan-like yeast character superbly. Balanced bitterness. Beer of the festival!
