Dupont Biere de Miel

Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 8

Single bottle from the LCBO with a best before date of 11/2014. Pours a cloudy golden colour with a frothy white head that offers a creamy thick lacing, with very good retention. Seems home-brewed as not filtered with lots of the tiniest particles ever. Smells great with Belgian Ale yeast, grains and hints of mint and other spices. The organic part starts being felt in the taste. Mild cereal grains with Perrier water. Thankfully, the honey is not crazy anywhere, so not overly sweet as expected. One of the better organic beers.

The beer pours a hazed golden yellow with a thin white ring for a cap. The aroma is yeast, funk, and honey. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is grains, honey, and earthy flavours. Not a bad saison.

330ml bottle – decants a clouded simmering gold ale with a small white cap. Aroma of dry biscuit, honey, spice, fruit blossoms…very pleasant. Dry spicy character with yeasty earthiness, estery fruitiness and honey forming amazing flavor compounds …spritzy effervescence from bottle conditioning aids in sharpening the dry finish. A fantastic honey ale.

cloudy and yellow with some dull gold. White soapy head. smell is predominately apple, flower and perfume with some greenish/citrus hops taking the express train and not stopping at my stop. Definitely a complex barnyard note that I believe derives from the honey. Smells sweeter than I want it too, but here goes, lets see how it gets along with my tongue. Hmmm, prickly mouthfeel, latent taste of apple again. Maybe something in the neighbourhood of chamomile tea. Left on my tongue it bubbles like a carbonated soft drink. I can hear the bubbles bursting! Really quite remarkable. I find it tough to feel the weight of the beer as it is over taken by effervescence. Dry like champagne, but not extremely so, really delicate, maybe some lemon zest. Really surprised by how good I find this beer! I see many other bread comments, though this is not what I think of when I think bread. This is lightly though intensely flavoured and a rocket ship of energy bound really tight by excellent balance. Honey is only a contribution, not even a perceptiable player really from the team of elements here. Points for uniqueness!

Everybody needs to enjoy a good saison now and then, and there is none better than Dupont. This particular saison has the earthiness and funk balanced out by a generous dose of honey, resulting in a beer that is delicious and easy to drink.

Not being the biggest "honey" beer fan around, I know that Dupont's beers are usually top-notch and was hoping the experience with this beer would be the same. This beer pours out a yellow/gold color, slight hazy with minimal rising bubbles and a 2-finger creamy head. Aroma of bready, honeyish sweet malts, with subtle floral notes. Flavors were mostly sweet malts, honey with enough bread character to notice. After about half a pint of this, I was really done drinking it. For a few sips it's not bad, but no way I could finish a pint, let alone a 750ml bottle of this stuff. It's not bad, just not my style of beer.

Bottled. Hazy orange colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is yeast, earth, some malts, grass and balancing up honey. Flavour is honey, earth, yeast, grass and some mild herbal notes. Pleasant honeybeer. which is not sweet at all.

A golden apperance with a rather large head. A spicy lemon filled aroma is present. The flavor is a mixture of sweet and sour with a strong dose of honey coming through. I also taste some lemons and apricots. Some spices present in the finish. Overall this was pretty good.

Pours a hazy golden color with a fluffy one inch head that slowly settles down to a thick cap that lasts throughout, leaving loads of lace in my glass. Smell; there's a bit of earthy, barnyard funkiness along with some citrusy fruits that I can't quite nail down. The honey comes out as it gets a little warmer. Taste; there's a nice lemon zest that initially hits me along with a peppery spiciness, and then that barnyard/hay funkiness steps up along with some sweet honey that makes this beer really interesting. Mouthfeel is light bodied and very smooth, and finishes a bit dry.
