Foret (aka Moinette Biologique), a Saison by Dupont Brasserie25.4 ounce bottle. My second saison. This is a style I definitely enjoy. The pour is cloudy, translucent, and the color of a butterscotch candy. A generous white head stays through completion and leaves behind good lacing on the sides of the glass. The taste is floral and spicy. I smell and taste cloves, caraway seed, and coriander. These emerge from a background of flowers and pear. Foret is pleasant on the palate, sweet with a light hoppiness. Light alcohol flavor keeps the finish going, although diminished, pushing the spices to the forefront as it progresses. This is a sipping beer, and one with which to enjoy the company of good friends.
This was a great pairing with the wife's chicken piccata, served over a bed of orzo.
