Saison Dupont 2009 and a vintage Saison Dupont 2002.
With summer upon us and a recent near record heat wave, it’s only fitting that my quest for the next vintage comparison lead me to Saison Dupont. While this particular beer has not been a favorite of mine, it’s time to revisit what many have called the quintessential saison. There has been a lot written lately about the complexity and overall quality of this beer. For this issue, I will be comparing a 2009 Saison Dupont, with a 2002 vintage.

Comparing 2010 Lindemans Framboise to a 2003 aged vintage.
For centuries, the art of cellaring wine has been an acceptable and rewarding process, but ask anyone about the possibility of aging beer, and you are left with confusing and conflicting opinions. The object of this column is to show you that with a little patience, and a lot of will power, cellaring beer can be very rewarding and just as fun.
This month, I’ll be comparing a 2010 Lindemans Framboise with a 2003 vintage. I’ve chosen this beer based on its availability as well as its remarkable aging qualities. If stored properly, this is a great beginning beer worthy of all beer cellars. In fact, all lambics are already aged before they arrive on store shelves, so the transition is an easy one.
