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 from mgermani, thanks! pour a cloudy/hazy brownish orange, with a HUGE head. Aroma is very fruity, with lots of spice and yeast, and a slight caramel. Flavour is very yeasty, with lots of ripe fruit. This is a Saison? where is the pepperiness, and the nice bitter bite? Dont get me wrong, this is a very nice beer, the 8% is hidden extremely well, but a Saison? It’s unlike any saison i’ve ever had, its more a really yeasty fruity Belgian Ale. Oh well.....still very nice.

The aroma is grainy with yeast, spice, citrus and cheese. The appearance is orange gold with a very foamy head. The flavor is like the aroma with a bitter taste to it. The palate is smooth. Overall it’s very decent.

Bottle sampled. Pours orange/amber with a large off-white head. Aroma f spices, citrus, orange peel, and fruit. The flavor is sweet, fruity, citrus, spices, heavily carbonated, and finishes dry. Good brew.

Medium hazy straw color - aroma of orangey citrus, bready yeast and come spice. Flavor was lovely - herbal notes, peppery coriander, sweet, a hint of lemony tartness, and a clean crisp finish. Very nice saison, though my sample was served a little cold - flavors probably improve with warmth.

A dry and pleasantly dusty aroma. Cloudy orange with floaties, hyperactive bubbles, and a huge head. I’m not a big fan of floaties but everything else makes up for it. Dry, with a dusty funky taste. Another beer for enjoying on a warm day. Light, but not on flavor. Ever so slight peppery bitterness in the back. Aftertaste is pleasant. The beer turns to velvety foam in your mouth. Need I say more?

0.75L bottle brought by boboski.

Pours a slightly hazy golden straw color with pillowy white head. Refreshing aroma of fruity tartness, dark brown sugar and mild funk. The high carbonation attacks the taste buds right off. I get a tart lemony fruit flavor with sweeter candy sugar and dark brown sugar. There’s also a perfect undercurrent of yeasty funk that plays very nicely against the other flavors. Tasty brew that I could drink all day. Great mix of flavors.
