Commercial Description:
La Moneuse is named for A. J. Moneuse (b. 1768), a famous local bandit and gang leader, and ancestor of the brewers' family. It is a classic "saison" beer by virtue of its strength and its earthy, aged quality. It has a hardy, semi-dry malt character, a fresh but not overpowering hoppiness, abundant yeasty, fruity flavors and a fairly strong, but pleasant and enticing mustiness.

750ml corked and cagged shared by suzygreenberg. Murky deep gold almost copper with a cloud like head that is very pillowy. Dusty, earthy, mineraly nose with a touch of lemon. Tons of tight carbonation on the palate. Tastes a bit more like a Belgian single or double, but on the super light side. Some banana and lemon up front. Wheat and mineral then hits me with some drying on the finish some sweetness also. Nice stuff, thanks Ben.

The aroma is musty, potent from the wild yeasts I suppose. The appearance is darker than a standard saison, more maple color. The flavor is strong, no sweetness at all, but more of an aged, almost winey flavor.

Nice light spice aroma. Orangeish. This is good right away. Lots of spices, grows as it goes. Flavor is very unprepossessing and excellent.

750 ml – The Wine Source. Dark hazy golden amber, huge rocky off-white head. Fresh grassy apricot and sweet citric aromas warm to swirls of rustic apple and peppered bread dough. Soft canided fuzzy fruit flavors round with a well textured old grassy-hay note and hints of backend peppery bitterness. 8% expertly hidden. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, lightly bittersweet finish. A great summer saison…

On tap @ hopleaf. Pours hazy golden with a fine white head. Fresh, vinous, slight sour and hoppy nose. Taste is hay, grass, hops and yeast. Fresh, dry and crisp. Very well made.
