Saison Dupont

As soon as it poured its fluffy pillow white head, on top of a gorgeous golden body, and floated its citrus, peppery, and hints of banana notes under my nose i knew i would love this beer.
The fresh liveliness across the tongue, lemon and orange, the hops working exquisitely, causing a tartness also.
The pepper has a comeback also, with some floral lightness lifting this beer around the mouth, but there's a dryness that reminds me of barely ripe conference pear. 
Such a gentle beer in a way, you imagine sunny lazy days, wheat fields swaying in the breeze while this nectar sits in a glass in your hand and you sip it with a smile growing across your face.
