Brasserie Dupont Biere de Miel

**Aroma:** “Muted malt aroma with what comes across as a slight Pilsner. Low- to-medium hops with spicy and mossy characteristics. Soft floral notes evident at the end. Pineapple, orange, and lemon balance the earthy funk, with a hint of _Brett_, hay, fresh-cut grass, and a bit of smoky phenols.” **Flavor:** “A fantastic mouthfeel and medium but light malt flavor that plays well in the back, with an almost smoky hops flavor. The focus is quite earthy, with hints of moss, hay, and bark. Moderate apple tartness in the middle with coriander, and a nice, spicy finish. The carbonation is light and enhances the beer, leaving a dry freshness.” **Overall:** “Overall, a great beer with some fantastic pepper and almost rye-like characteristics. Refreshing and light, with good acidity to cut through some of the pepper and spice. Very light sessionable earthy, funky saison, with a peppery, minty, smoky phenol character. Nice complexity, and it comes together well.”

**Aroma:** “Light citrus and pineapple fruity _Brett_ funk. A wonderfully curious blend of sweet honey floral notes. _Brett_ funk and fruitiness and expected saison estery fruitiness.” **Flavor:** “A lemon acidity hits up front and carries throughout with a lemon sweetness and hints of orange, as well as a bitterness in the back. A spicy honey flavor up front that’s quickly overshadowed by a prominent tartness. Remarkably dry for the amount of honey flavor that is retained.” **Overall:** “Lemon and pineapple funk define this beer. Some light peppery complexity in the background. Tart and refreshing overall with great personality. A bright beer full of unique flavors that all manage to work wonderfully together, with the honey flavors able to peek out and complement the _Brett_.”

__Aroma:__ “Medium-high cherry aroma, with some raisin and plum esters. A slight funk, with some low Brett characteristics and funky notes. A little roast sets up the acidity that emerges as it warms. Herbal and effervescent, with some eucalyptus and slight peppermint. Very unexpected, but pleasant.” __Flavor:__ “An interesting combination of plum, cherry, heavy roast, and effervescent herbal qualities that give an almost menthol, numbing note. The roast turns into a burned incense, with smoke at the back end. Very interesting yeasty character in the middle of the palate, with some slight barnyard and farmhouse characters.” __Overall:__ “This is a yeast-driven beer, with secondary consideration given to the malt. The body is thin and the carbonation heavy, but the fruity and yeasty characteristics carry throughout. Quite a unique and bold beer.”
