Saison Dupont 33cl

This is a very nice Saison.  Although it has a lot of traditional Saison flavor, it’s a bit different from a traditional Wallonian interpretation.  The carbonation isn’t as intense and the yeast character is more on the fruity side without the typical “peppery” nature of the Walloon strains. The yeast character is also more on the clean side and doesn’t have the more funky nature of its French-speaking cousins.  None of these things are knocks on De Ranke’s version, just a way to explain how this great beer drinks.  If you’re looking for a Saison but want a different twist, this is would be a great one to try.  It’s tasty, balanced, and enjoyable.  Additionally, its reasonable alcohol level makes it a very drinkable option.
