Refreshingly light, not the best tasting beer ever but it does the job well! (Posted on 28/07/2017)

Very tasty saison from the masters at Dupont. Typical farmhouse mustiness which has been perfected over years of expert brewing. Delicious. (Posted on 21/07/2017)

The best saison I've had to date. Perfectly balanced. (Posted on 09/07/2017)

Golden and cloudy with a good frothy head. THis is a very lively year due to the yeast in the beer. Very refreshing with a classic saison flavour. (Posted on 08/07/2017)

If you've never had a Saison before then do not hesitate to taste this. If you have had a Saison before then this is a good as it gets.
The classic yeasty saison flavours offer up a slightly sour flavour, with pepper and subtle light herbs on the palette..
A perfect exquisite example of this style (Posted on 08/07/2017)

Hazy golden hints of spice the quintessential saison for me classic beer (Posted on 27/06/2017)

Hazy, golden colour, floating sediment, yeasty, apple, honey and peppery aroma, medium crisp mouthfeel, yeasty, ripe banana, caramel and peppery flavour, sweet, slightly bitter aftertaste. (Posted on 26/06/2017)

Just thinking about this beer makes my mouth water. It is a joy to drink and I couldn't wait to try it when I received it in my Beer club after reading all the hype. This beer definitely doesn't disappoint! (Posted on 25/06/2017)

Citrusy and spicy, complex. Fizzy with a nice head, with a slight creaminess from the carbonation. (Posted on 22/06/2017)

This lives up to being a great example of a saison. Full of herbal / fruity aromas, it has depth but yet light with a dry, clean finish. I'll be ordering again for sure. (Posted on 09/06/2017)

One of the best Saison's I have tried. Fizzy, cloudy and refreshing. I would highly recommend giving it a go. (Posted on 04/06/2017)

Had heard a lot of hype about this classic beer and it doesn't disappoint. There's not many beers that live up to their reputation but this certainly does. Vinous,sweet, sparkling apple, tangy, dry finish. And that's just scratching the surface. There's a pureness about it. Perfect drink for it's original purpose. Like meeting one of your heroes and they are everything you wanted them to be. (Posted on 25/04/2017)

Perfect for fans of Batshuayi and Hercule Poirot. Tasty beer not massively dissimilar to leffe nectar. (Posted on 16/04/2017)

My first foray into a Saison style beer and its awesome. Easy drinkable. if this is setting the benchmark for Saisons than you might be disappointed with others after this.
Definitately can see why this was drunk after a hard days of work in the fields. Will be ordering some more. (Posted on 11/04/2017)

Brilliant example of this style. Lots of fizz, yeasty and spicy yet very refreshing. Go on buy one! (Posted on 09/04/2017)

Everyone uses this as the benchmark saison. Although its not as good as some smaller brewers who dont export very far, such as waterwolf by de hoop brouwerij in zaandam, it is one of the best widely available saisons. definitely worth the money! (Posted on 31/03/2017)

Appearance: milky yellow, frothy, Virginal white head. Aroma: mildly grassy, some overripe fruits, dank pineapple. Flavour: lactose, nice fruity flavour, weed like hops, some lovely fruit in the finish. Decent. (Posted on 23/03/2017)

If you want to explore the Saison style you can't go far wrong from putting this in your basket.
Its a classic example of a Saison Beer with the yeasty Peppery esters on the taste buds giving you a real feel for this style.
Don;t hesitate to get this. (Posted on 10/03/2017)

This is somewhat of a benchmark for saisons and it shows. A treat of a beer. I'd work in a field for this... (Posted on 26/02/2017)

This saison beer pours hazy with a real fruity taste. Nice and lively with a good strength to boot. (Posted on 19/02/2017)

pours hazy amber with a lasting fine head and funky fruity caramel aromas. Rich and funky spicy-sweet, with a soft noble bitterness. (Posted on 10/02/2017)

Could not get away with this one but wanted to taste it as it has good reviews, bit of a heavy drink for me, bitterness comes through but just not for me (Posted on 09/02/2017)

Aroma of peppery and spices. Clear straw with white head, lasting. Taste is dry and light bitter. Medium body, dry feel and dry spices finish. (Posted on 05/01/2017)

easy to drink with a nice yeasty taste coming through. Very lively fizz so be ready when opening the bottle as mine fizzed over, pour slowly. (Posted on 31/12/2016)

Light refreshing example of the saison style with the familiar taste of the zingy slightly funky yeast strand that makes this style so unique. (Posted on 22/11/2016)

Light, crisp and refreshing with the unmistakable Belgian yeast coming through. Lively fizz needs a slow pour (Posted on 22/11/2016)

Not the finest example of the style, great for a hot summers day nice and refreshing but lacks the complexity of flavor to be a great drink. (Posted on 12/11/2016)

Hazy golden colour, combination of strong carbonation and floating sediment makes it almost look like a snowglobe in a glass, medium lasting white head, yeasty apple, honey and peppery aroma, medium crisp mouthfeel with some carbonation, yeasty ripe banana, caramel and peppery flavour, sweet yet slightly bitter aftertaste, really nice. (Posted on 02/11/2016)

A delightful, delicate, and refreshing Belgian tasting Saison. Very classy, this is one of the beers that kicked off the recent saison trend. (Posted on 28/10/2016)

A good saison, extremely fizzy with a great taste and lingering on the palate. Cloudy with hints of yeast, well worth a try. (Posted on 22/10/2016)

My all time favourite brew! Cannot recommend this enough. Classic and for good reason. (Posted on 25/07/2016)

A classic saison, with all the yeasty, peppery funky flavours you'd expect. Never fails to refresh. (Posted on 10/07/2016)

Lovely, a perfect example of the Saison style. Plenty of refreshing carbonation with notes of yeast ester, sweet malt and a perfect counterbalance of hop and mild fruit. (Posted on 26/06/2016)

I'm finding it hard to rave about Saisons but was expecting better from this one given the good reviews.
Plenty of hoppy and fruity flavours but still no real wow factor here (Posted on 23/06/2016)

At first the cloudyness was a bit off putting but the first sip allayed my worries. Very fresh and fruity with an underlying honey taste. (Posted on 21/06/2016)

A true classic and an absolute must try! It never disappoints and hits all the right notes. (Posted on 18/05/2016)

This is now my favorite beer, I always try to keep one in the fridge. A true classic! (Posted on 17/05/2016)

It's okay, but nothing more. Got a little better as I drank it. But there are better saisons out there. Much preferred the Heksen & Trollen from Beerhawk. (Posted on 11/05/2016)

A really amazing beer, one of my all time favourites! It must be one of the best beers in the world! (Posted on 08/05/2016)

This was my first Saison and what a wake up call to the taste buds from IPAs.

Smell was yeast and apples to my nose, the sharpness was delightful.

Great beer and one I will be buying again. (Posted on 01/05/2016)

Great example of the saison style. I've tried a few other and this is by far the best. It's not a style that I'm usually drawn to but I'll be ordering a couple more. (Posted on 25/04/2016)

Bright yellow with an impressive head.very refreshing (Posted on 17/03/2016)

An excellent Saison and a terrific price! Zesty and crisp, it dances on the tongue - highly recommended. (Posted on 17/02/2016)

I wanted to try a saison and opted for this one due to its positive reviews and appealing price. Let's just say I'm pleased I took the dive. I'll be making one of these a regular in any future cases, especially at that price! (Posted on 16/02/2016)

F: huge, white, good retention. C: hazy yellowish to gold. A: flowers, grassy, hay, weed, hint of lemon, grape-fruit, honey-herbal, some dusty/dough, peppery. T: grainy, grassy, honey-herbal, nice floral decent hops bitterness, dough, very smooth mouthfeel, hint of strawberries, spicy, medium body, lively carbonated, very good classical example of this style worth to try, (Posted on 01/02/2016)

The craft revolution is causing Saisons to pop up all over the place, so it was nice to go back to the reference Saison beer, one I\'d not drunk for a few years.
Think I may have drunk it a little too cold (impateience got the better of me), but it was still excellent. Dry, peppery, yeasty, a bit fruity. Very refreshing and a pleasant break from the hop-bombs. (Posted on 16/01/2016)

Maybe this was just the bottle I had, but i found this beer very disappointing. I was expecting a lot more. Yes, i get the fruitiness others speak of, but other than that it was a summer BBQ quaffing ale! Not one for me (Posted on 16/01/2016)

With more and more Saisons being released, it is nice to refer back to the one Saison by which all others should be judged against.

Sure, some deviate and will not conform to the style but the basics should be there.

But about this beer. Funny that others find it hoppy, the standard isn't hoppy, and that is why I like saisons, because they don't rely on availability of much sought-after hops (even tho I love Quelle Saison by Beavertown Brewery for precisely the opposite reasons); with Saisons it is all about the yeast and what it can produce. Wounderful mix of aromas with a pleasant body and mouthfeel, full yet crisp with plenty of popping ester aromas popping all throughout the duration of your drink. It is just a shame it must end so soon.

When drunk chilled from the right glass its hard to beat the interesting and refreshing nature of this. I prefer this to most other Saisons I've tried which usually disappoint in comparison and aren't as easy to drink! (Posted on 21/11/2015)

Loads of farmhouse yeast. Crisp and refreshing like a low abv sparkling medium white wine (Posted on 30/09/2015)

A well balanced belgian saison, good fruit to It and a long smooth finish. (Posted on 18/07/2015)

A slightly disappointing result following the build up from previous reviews. Will pay more attention to temperature as may have attempted this too cold. (Posted on 17/07/2015)

The Saison Dupont is the most famous and iconic beer of the saison kind. Saison is a container name for all beers that were brewed in Wallonia (Belgium) for the saisonniers - the migrant seasonal workers. The style became unpopular when many breweries stopped making the style because other styles were more popular or cheaper to produce. Dupont was one of the few breweries that kept on brewing the style and carved out its own niche.

One of the first things you notice when you pour the beer into a glass is that there is quite a lot of carbonation. The beer is very crisp – dry even – with a bit of tart. The beer has a quite hoppy bitter which combines wonderfully with the dry character of the yeast. The finish is a bit peppery. It’s an ale that is both really complex and really simple – I would describe it as elegant. It’s a great thirst quencher that is perfect for summery days.

The dry and peppery taste that are specific to the Saison Dupont yeast were picked up by home brewers in the last years and became a hit. There are now many variants and additions to the saison kind of beers on the market. I really enjoy many of these new beers that move the style into exciting new directions, but none are as iconic and classic as the Saison Dupont. If you never had any beers of this kind I highly recommend you start here! (Posted on 25/06/2015)

Had to clear the hops off the previous beer before getting the full extent of this one. Nice typical triple (Posted on 28/05/2015)

I really liked this wheats and cloudy beer very like a German wheat beer. Cloudy and zesty and yummy (Posted on 23/04/2015)

Nice golden colour, smells fruity with hints of yeast and a light floral hoppiness. Taste is nice with subtle notes of honey that finishes dry with a little zest/spiciness. (Posted on 04/04/2015)

Saison beers are saison beers. Period. This is just that; it does what it says on the tin. Plenty of hops, a fruity kick, and a pleasure to drink... (Posted on 12/01/2015)

Maybe because my favourites pack had such a high standard I have held back with 5 stars but it was still a very enjoyable drink with a lovely colour. (Posted on 15/02/2013)
