Retaining head. Creaminess. A bit of saison, with honey and corriander DYCSoccer17 (2201), Davis, California, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Apr 3, 2005 Sampled with SoCal RB guys...thanks to whomever who brought this...Slightly sour funky aroma with hints of pears. Moderate/severe honey colored haziness with a beige-white head. Very musty flavor that hits you immediately. Funky, musty and sour with bitterness to finish. Hints of DMS are also in the finish. Kind of weird for me. Vac (2394), San Diego, California, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 27, 2005 Pours with a golden orange body topped by a thick fizzy head with a good amount of lacing. The aroma is slightly sweet and herbal with lots of tea notes and lots of lemon. The flavor is similar with a little bitterness. Light bodied, fizzy and a touch dry. beerslayer (753), New Jersey, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 10, 2005 This is a good Saison. Spicy, lemon, and malt flavors. Finishes crisp, clean, and dry. Sickboy282 (1100), San Diego, California, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 8, 2005 Golden amber hue with a wonderul head with micro-bubbles and nice lacing. Aromas of yeast, oak, and a little citrus. Flavors othe same, but with a wonderful finish. jsquire (2123), St. Marys, Ohio, USA
| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/20 | Mar 4, 2005 Reddish amber color out of the bottle with a lasting, thin beige head. Smells like really stale dog turds that someone has collected in a really smelly sweat sock. It has that nasty barnyard funky taste that I just don’t like in some Belgians. Dusty dry wall in the finish. The initial taste was a shock, and it didn’t really get any easier as it went. Pigfoot (2226), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Feb 7, 2005 Brand new label, much more attractive than the old one. Depicts the beer’s namesake, A.J. Moneuse, bandit and gang leader, as well as ancestor of the Blaugies.
Gorgeous orange color, enormous head, fluffy, leaving lovely lace...a pretty picture, inviting, at the very least.
Aroma is perfection, the very essence of saison, heady, funky...stuffed with citrus, straw, spice, lemony...plenty of wonderful, here.
Huge impact on the palate right from the start, large yeast, abundant citrus, immensely flavorful, big mouthfeel, thinning slightly, sliding easily off of the palate. Very smooth, if top heavy at the start. A bit stronger than a typical saison, and it shows. Yum, yum. One hell of a saison! fiulijn (7420), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 3, 2005 Corked bottle Hazy blond color. Malty aroma, good malty taste and the typical Belgian hops. A classic Belgian Stgrong Ale, very good, showing at the end a light liquorice character.
