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.

Orange and citrus taste. Yeast city, with the aroma and the look. Extreme head, and lace. Retaining head. Creaminess. A bit of saison, with honey and corriander

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.

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.

This is a good Saison. Spicy, lemon, and malt flavors. Finishes crisp, clean, and dry.

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.

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.

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!

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.
