4 oz draft. Flavor has the mild yeast characteristics that marry with the elderflower really well. Soft honey sweetness. Mildly funky, herbal, and soft malt backbone.

Pours hazy gold into a tulip. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to coat surface. Berry funk and honey aromas. Crisp with sweet brett and honey front to back. Dry, lasting lemon peel and pith finish.

Can at home after working on backyard for few hours and playing with new fire pit. Bright yellow and fluffy electric head. Nose is florals and some honey. Tatses of light elderflower, honey, grass. Bright palate. Very refreshing.

750mL bottled 4/12/22, drunk 10/16/22. Incredibly carbonated, blonde-golden with a massive, well-retained, white head. Oh yeah, that is just intensely Dupont. Heavy pepper, light floral aromatics, hay and bits of honey-like malt. Clean, assertively hoppy, no alcohol or flaw noted. Nutty elderflower and light honey with tart acidity. Tons of black pepper, good flavor intensity for its size, clean and with herbal/peppery hops and good attenuation. There's something that tastes just ever-so-slightly buttery, but I think that's just the nuttiness/astringency of the elderflower. Otherwise, great saison character, very Dupontesque and clean and flavorful.

Crisp golden coloured body with a thick three to four centimetre tall off-white head that tops the beer nicely and stays afloat for a while, all on top of a perfectly clear lighter golden tinted body. Aroma of honey, grass, light [german] hops with a bit of biscuity malts and some grain noticeable, but a fairly crisp, perfumey profile in the nose. Light to barely Medium-bodied; Strong perfumey flavours that show some lavender and hibiscus at first and a hint of tartness although that could be from the yeasts along with a crisp but dry malt profile and a touch of sweetness from caster sugar and stone fruits noticeable at the very end. Aftertaste shows the yeast, dry and subdued malt body with a lot of perfumey, floral and grassy elements which bring out the complexity, but stay very mild throughout. Overall, a nice and dry, crisp beer that hits the marks nicely, but is a bit lacking in flavour and especially complexity, but that could be due to the low alcohol on this one or the subtle time I aged this, which probably helped the overall rounded nature of this, but lacking in larger tastes. I sampled this 75 cL bottle purchased from the Department of Beer and Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 10-July-2020 for US$8,09 sampled at my house here in Washington on 04-September-2021.

Draught at Tørst: pours orange with a white head. Aroma is elderberry, honey, sweaty funk. Taste is sweet, loads of honey. No bitterness. Good.
