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.

BOTTLE 37,5CL.
Look: amber hazy with a huge white creamy-to-frothy head with good retention.
Aroma: dry, spicy (peppery and herbal), some yeast (french baguette crust), solvent.
Taste: herbal spiciness, dry, just a bit of fruitiness, light bitterness with a slight harsh/alcoholic edge (no actual ethanol taste).
It’s beefed up, but still a saison with its spicy herbal and drinkable character.

A nice tripel but I’m not sure it beats out a few of the other top contenders in the category. Huge perfume head on this - smells and initially tastes like a basket of potpourri. Pours blonde with ok head and lacing. Very well-balanced, which definitely puts this into the superior beer category. Finishes with light sweetness and some perfume. Average carbonation. Bottle at Bistro L’Autre Oeil.

75 cl. corked bottle, shared and poured in to Trappist glasses. 2012 "Vintage" according to the cork. Slightly hazy golden colour with a copper tint, and a huge, fluffy white head that slowly collapses. Rather complex aroma with yeasts, spices - pepper, citrus, barnyard, some blue cheese, pale malts and sweet fruits. Taste is bitter. Medium to full body, creamy to oily texture and a lively carbonation. Finishes dry and herbal bitter with apples and yeasts. Excellent hybrid between Saison and Tripel. Very enjoyable.

10oz pour at PPD. Pours a clear gold with a ring of white head. Legs like scotch. Nose is candy sugar, nail polish, tropical fruit. Flavor is better, sweet, fruity, booze, pineapple, a little medicinal, pear, some bubblegum. Boozy finish.
