Belgium’s jewel that refreshes even the most thirsty: the story of Saison Dupont

by David Martín Rius

A centenary legacy with flavor to tradition and passion

From the dawn of Belgian beer, in 1844, an artisanal drink was born in the cold lands of Tourpes-Leuze, perfect to relieve the long days of farmers in winter times. We talk about the Saison Dupont, a high fermentation lager that has since become a symbol of the local beer culture and a reference for drinks of drinks with a deep character and flavor.

An aromatic profile that invites a sensory trip

It is not only a coppery blond color and a vibrant appearance, but also an explosion of aromas that paint a multisensory portrait. The Saison Dupont displays delicate notes of white spices, grated orange and green apple, accompanied by a herbaceous background and wet earth that speaks of the Belgian land. This bouquet evolves in the cup, inviting you to explore its deepest nuances with each sip.

The taste that captures the essence of the earth and time

In the first impression, its soft maltose sweetness feels the bases, but it quickly transforms into a vibrant experience with fruit, citrus and spicy touch that surprises in every corner of the mouth. The combination of herbal notes and a moderate bitterness creates a perfect balance, culminating in a dry and lasting sensation that invites repetitions without stopping. It is like a small adventure in each drink, in which the rustic and authentic character is mixed with almost medicinal neatness.

The feeling in the mouth: light, effervescent and memorable

The secret of its charm? An extremely fine carbonation that caresses the palate, causing beer to look lift in the mouth. Its middle-low body and its light texture allow each flavor, from maltosity to fruit and spices, express themselves freely. The final sensation is soft and refreshing, leaving a lasting mark that invites you to return to it again and again.

Why is it still a legend in the beer world?

Despite its age and having been on the verge of oblivion on several occasions, Saison Dupont has managed to stay at the top thanks to the vision and passion of those who have protected it over the years. Its history reflects a constant search for perfection and authenticity, which makes it an example of the Belgian tradition. The figure of the English critic and writer Michael Jackson played a key role in it, recognizing its value in an increasingly globalized and competitive market.

Looking to the future: beyond the classic past

Today, the Saison Dupont is not only a historical icon, but also a blank canvas for new generations of brewers seeking to reinterpret the style without losing their original soul. The tendency towards artisanal and experimental beers has opened the door to variations and mergings that respect its essence, but also give it new dimensions. Undoubtedly, this cultural reference will continue to impact and motivate the development of new styles in the beer universe.

In the end, the true magic of the Saison Dupont resides in its ability to connect past and present through a flavor that, despite its long history, remains relevantly contemporary. That is the promise of a beer that does not aging, but evolves, inviting everyone to savor their history, a glass at the same time.
