The lineage of any great Saison traces its roots back to Brasserie Dupont’s Saison Dupont. Greats like Jester King and Hill Farmstead believe it'stheFarmhouse Ale all other Farmhouse Ales are measured against. From its legendary yeast strain, to its golden waves of herbal spice and delicate fruit flavor, many fans of the style believe it can’t get much better— until they taste Saison Dupont Cuvee Dry Hopping.
Dry-hopping magnifies this Saison’s qualities to high definition, and each year Dupont releases a coveted version of their signature ale using a different hop. This year’s vintage was dry-hopped with Brewer’s Gold Hops, introducing notes of blackcurrant and amplified hoppy-spice.
Hazy gold in color with a fluffy white head, the aroma of this Saison whispers of grass, wildflowers, and soft lemon zest. The citrus continues into the taste, with hints of lemon peel bitter, offset by a hint of sweet hay. Fruity hints from Brewer’s Gold Hops carry through into an elegant bitterness with a sprinkle of fresh ground pepper courtesy of famed Dupont yeast.
Saison Dupont Cuvee Dry Hopping should be the introduction every craft beer fan has to the Saison style
