Day 170 - Saison Dupont



Brasserie Dupont - Saison Dupont
Tourpes-Leuze, Belgium (BELGIUM)
ABV 6.5% Calories 200*


Saison is the French word for seasons; this type of beer was originally brewed on farmhouses for the farm hand to drink during harvest. It is a bottle conditioned beer, meaning the final fermentation happens in the bottle. This Saison was sweet upon entry but then turned into a sour after taste; not in a pleasant way. The sour bitterness stays on your palette. Maybe the Saison beers are an acquired taste; one that I have not yet acquired. If I was a farmer, I would drink gatorade or if it had to be a beer - one of those light Mexican cervezas.
