Tasted at Lambikstoempers’ Bierweekend in Alsemberg, seemed like a fresh bottle so I don’t see why it is already listed as ’retired’ here... Very thick and frothy, rocky, lacing, cream white head supported by almost champagne-like fizz in a hazy old gold coloured beer. Aroma of apricot, dry hay, potpourri, pear, chamomille, earth and orange peel; crisp, refreshing flavour, fruity without being too estery, dryish, fzzy, hints of peach and light banana, yeasty but in a clean kind of way, sourish edge, ending in a characterful, floral, peppery and earthy hop bitterness, dry and quenching. Beautiful saison, from the ultimate saison brewery.

33cl bottle. Dorée et mousse blanche. Arôme garde un côté sucré avec une levure qui prend un peu le dessus avec une touche légère de cave. En bouche, un houblon herbacé et fruité le tout avec cette levure belge bien distincte qui rappelle de suite la br. Dupont. Bière est douce et finement amer pour une note citronnée balancée par du sucre. Reste dans la lignée et tradition Dupont, et a surement évoluée avec l’age.
