The Bons Vœux is a blond top fermentation beer with refermentation in the bottle.
Since 1970, the brewery has been brewing a special beer to give as a new years present to their best clients. (the name of this beer “Avec les bons Vœux de la brasserie Dupont » means « With the best wishes of the brewery Dupont » ).
Because of the increasing success, they started to commercialise this “cadeau” but kept the name. Although the demands were considerable, only a small quantity was brewed, so they had to make a reservation list, even months before new year.
This Bons Vœux is coppery blond, has very fine hoparomas and tastes bitter, fruity and mild.
Our selection of yeasts, in combination with a longduring riping process, on a “dry hopping” base, are creating a typical and complex aroma and taste.
A real refermentation in the bottle, which will continue for a long time in your cellar, result in a harmonious and well-balanced beer, full of unexpected and complex aromas.

Tap@Taphouse, Copenhagen - golden pour with white head. Aroma and taste is fruity and light malty, with notes of yeast, some zesty citric lemon, minerals, some nice spices, fruity to dry finish. Very nice. ---Sent via Beer Buddy for iPhone

(375ml 2014 bottle from Systembolaget, cellared ~1yr) Pours a lightly hazy medium gold with a pillowy, lasting white head and lots of lace. Aroma has a core of lightly sweet malt with a bunch of wheat character and a little fruitiness, coriander, wet grass, citrus peels, peppery/lemongrass sort of hop/phenolic mix. Palate is light to moderate sweet to start with a touch of caramel, orange, peach, wheat, transitioning into a more dry and bitter middle with coriander, dry grass, citrus peels, fairly aggressive spicy phenolics. Phenolic, herbal bite lingers into the finish, which has a bit of bread/biscuit and dustier yeast notes as well, some hop bitterness, alcohol heat, and grass in the aftertaste. Medium bodied with high effervescent champagne-style carbonation. A good phenolic rather than estery tripel with a hop bite, but also too much alcohol present, even after a year’s ageing. Perhaps this takes even more time to settle down?
