Drinking Burgundy in a Paris brasserie. Awesome, even if the wine isn’t that great 😊 — 2 years ago

Bottled 10/2021. An old favorite not had in years. I remember this being fresher with more citrus, playful. This edition is maltier, not quite as lively. Still delicious and a good match with homemade shawarma. To paraphrase Fernand Point— is it Saison DuPont that has changed, or have I? — 4 years ago

Color of clear ruby mixed with orange color, light. Nose of dried strawberry, aldehyde, spice, prune, complexes and fragrant, also some dates, a bit wet mushroom, and refine acidity note. Taste of refined acidity and subtle sweetness, fermented cabbage, ripe cranberry, dried strawberry, some Unami, hint of zest, almost no tannins, a bit peppery, and a bit flowering note. Taste is refined too. Aftertaste is medium long with savory notes from the taste plus oak. Nice one. — 5 years ago

Ale-like trappist. Ages ik the bottle. If you like a bit more depth and almond-like bitterness, order the old one, vieux or vielle de Orval.

The younger one is fresher with some citrus hints.
One of my absolute favorites. — 7 years ago

Vivacity and minerality, but with a slightly heavier mouth feel than I anticipated. Tinge of sugar on the finish - lovely charcuterie / brasserie spot around the corner in Montmartre 💕 — 8 years ago

Big, just-off-white crown lingers over dark, orange-amber, but once it resides is nearly laceless with isolated organic, punctuating archipelagos. Initial, buttery nutritional yeast, crystalline mangrove honey, magnolias, marigold, candied lemon peel and sweet rosemary, but don't let the fig addition and the sweet aromatics fool you; sour and underripe complexity ensues. Medium-heavy, unfiltered mouthfeel feels petulant, but swallows almost flat due to the dichotomy of dryness. Dried and underripe apricot combo, pineapple essence, gooseberry, chalk, snail shell, gravel dust, dried violets, fishbone, key lime, tangerine zest, and leek. A bright, green, mineral-driven offering. #farmcharm #saison #Darbyste #biere #bier #beer #brasseriedeblaugies #artisinale #nonfiltre #wit #blanche #bierdarbyste #belgian #belgianbeer #familyowned — 9 years ago

Belgian fruitiness on the nose, pleasantly creamy head, medium bodied with a complex balance of sweet, bitter and fizz. Nice, dry finish. Great with spicy and fried food. — 3 months ago

Amazing that this is 9.5% because it's so easy to drink a 750mL bottle. It really is wine quality. I have a hard time identifying the nose on beers but it reminds me of being inside the cow feed silo as a kid. It smells like late summer harvest left to ferment.
It's a very clean taste of...... Wheat grass? — 3 years ago

Outstanding! Crisp nose, fruity, touch of yeast. Great head, like a fresh home brew in the best possible way — 5 years ago

There's a great video on YT on what a Saison is. In short, it's a farmhouse ale (pale or sometimes red) that was historically served to farm workers as a clean source of hydration. Without any distinctive characters and lower in alcohol then, the "Saison" only really gained it's signature when the house in question came into the equation. Also, based on my research, the checkered "Vielle Provision" yellow labels are the export labels.

As it was here, the Dupont Brewery's Saison is generally cloudy, very carbonated via bottle conditioning, zesty and spicy, bitter with a hint of sour, and a dry hoppy finish. For me, this is truly "The beer for all seasons" - the flavours are just so versatile. Perfect for a warm summer afternoon in the park, yet complex enough to pair with a 3-star dish. — 6 years ago

Not for me, I found the 9% ABV to make it a bit flabby — 4 years ago

If Corbières is the heart of Languedoc then surely Carignan (81%) is its soul. This is a terrific brasserie wine that brings abundant joy throughout the meal. Silly to score, but hey..... — 4 years ago

I rarely post beer on Delectable, mostly because I have a different app for that but Lambics get special consideration. And as far as Gueuze’s go, it doesn’t get much better than Cantillon’s Classic. Lambics are one of the few beers that can stand extended aging and this 375mL was bottled in 2016 so it’s still pretty young. This is hugely crushable and just about everything I want in a Gueuze. Bright stone fruit, earth and minerals. Incredible balance. Lovely acidity. I could drink this all day long and pairs well with almost any meal. — 6 years ago

En Japanese Brasserie is one of the most elegant dinner spots in New York. Tip: Choose the set menu on the left of the three columns (the one with the three types of mushrooms, then homemade soft tofu, then the sashimi, then the black cod, then the soba noodles, then the chicken on slate, then the sorbet). Avoid the vegan set menu (middle column) and the one on the right, which is rather exotic and involves turning an egg timer when a candle goes out all in the aim to cook some rice perfectly.

I've always liked saké. Good saké at least. And this, I think and say knowing very little about the subject, is good saké. Smooth, nicely balanced, somewhat rich showing good depth and some melon-like notes. It worked beautifully with the food (left column menu). — 8 years ago
