Draught at the brewery, 12/16/17.
Low haze on this goldenrod-blonde beer with ample carbonation creating a moderately-well retained, white head.
Nose shows obvious Dupont yeast throwing out black pepper and plentiful apple-pear. No clove and a good dose of honey-like malt, though it's not as hoppy as fresh Dupont (still shows good herbal, fresh grass-like character). No flaw, alcohol, or unwanted/messy, Americanized esters/phenols.
In the mouth it's soft, with zesty carbonation and tons of dry pear, black pepper and lemon-herbal hops. Malts are well-attenuated yet show depth, providing a supple texture with a clean, peppery, bright finish that has notes of honey and pear, as well. No alcohol or flaw. One of the better Dupont clones I've had in a long while.
