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.

Avec les Bons Vœux de la Brasserie Dupont, 375-ml-Flasche aus Tausch mit Jef - thanks a lot! - Orangegold, trüb. - In der Nase erdig-zitrusfruchtige Herbe, gedämpfte Kandissüße, mediterrane Kräuter, ein Hauch von Moder und die unverkennbare Dupont-Hefe. - Im Antrunk massive zitrusfruchtige Herbe, bitteres Orangeat und feine Kandissüße mit bitteren Kräutern. Noten von frisch gemähtem Gras, Erde, Laub und Leder wechseln sich mit knackig bitterem Orangenöl ab. Kernig gerstiges Malz. Milder rezent, vollmundig, deutlich mitschwingender Alkohol. Erdig-zitrusfruchtig hopfenherber Abgang. - Ganz außerordentliches Bier, das nur schwer vereinbare Aromen, Süße und Bittere spannungsvoll zusammenzwingt. Bei der ersten Begegnung 2012 fand ich es noch zu rauh und unharmonisch, heute einfach großartig. (Neuverkostung: 6.1.2024.)

75cl bottle from Drinks Vanuxeem, Ploegsteert, Belgium. Pours a hazy light golden/amber colour with a large fluffy white head. Aromas of yellow fruits, light ripe stoney fruit aromas and a little bit of spice. Taste has more of the mixed fruity notes, both ripe and unripe flavours, lots of peppery spice, some cardboard notes and a decent earthy hop bitterness that lingers on a dry finish. Thin to medium body, fair amount of carbonation creating a spritzy like mouthfeel. Super refreshing. Kind of like a Tripel/Saison hybrid. This is very nice!

750 ml corked & caged bottle, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 9.5%. Slightly hazy golden colour, huge white head. Aroma of spicy Belgian ale yeast, white kandij sugar syrup and spicy hops. The same spicy notes in the flavour, also sufficient malts, hints of yellow plums, not too sweet, bitter finish. Refreshing for its strength.

Vintage 2017. Cloudy, amber color and a small white head. Funky nose, zesty-yeasty, malty and spicy. Taste starts sweetish malty, cereals, toasted, follows by Belgian-yeasty flavors, spicy and crisp. Silky earthy hops and zests at finish.
