The basic idea of Brasserie Dupont to create a cuvée dates back to 2010. At that time, the experiment was carried out for the first time and the efforts of the brewers were rewarded with great success: the first variant of the Cuvée Dry Hopping series was a real hit. The team then brewed more copies and refined the recipe from year to year. By dry hopping the drink, the brewers conjure up a wonderfully intense, diverse hop aroma in the beer, which, in addition to diverse fruity notes, also provides a noble bitterness. The plus in hops complements the strong spiciness of Belgian beers wonderfully and makes season Dupont’s Cuvée Dry Hopping a real treat for the palate.
The fine drop flows into the glass in a coppery, shimmering honey-gold and is crowned with a hand’s breadth of foam. From the thick, creamy splendor in ivory rises a potpourri of oven-fresh plaited yeast, green stone fruits, ripe bananas and warm spices. In view of the olfactory fullness, the initial sip is surprisingly light-footed and mixed with mild carbonic acid. The taste is composed of herbs, caramelized apples, toffee, spices, strong yeast, brown sugar and citrus fruits. A perfectly balanced bitterness rounds off the play of aromas and ensures that the spicy sweetness does not get the upper hand.
