Big head, light and fluffy. Fruity tart apple and yeasty aroma. Nice tart fruity apple flavors kick things off, with some light peach there, too. Yeasty and acidic at the beginning as well. After the fruitiness wears off, you will begin to notice a decent dose of funky wet blanket, just the right amount. Spicy nibbles throughout add plenty of interest.
Besides the tart and funk, Saison Dupont leans bitter, sporting lemony citrus flavors to go with the acidity. Despite all the forceful flavors and complexities, I found the beer to be delicate at the same time. Great carbonation and refreshment. I thoroughly enjoyed this and agree it's a top example of the style. Loved it even at the price tag I paid.

I had this one in my hand yesterday at Total Wine, and put it back. Ugh! I've been meaning to try it, too, but I always think of it when I'm at World of Beer and it's too pricey for me.
Next Total Wine visit and I'm buying this one!
Cheers!
Check which size is the deal. An 11.2 oz single was $5 and if I'm not mistaken the wine bottle is less than double that. I'd buy the big one if the per ounce price is better. It's really good.
