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 bottle Pours out a yellow amber topped with a cream white head. A nice aroma of spice and malt. Tast more spice and a little sweetness.

Aroma is light to moderate malty, roasted, light hoppy, grape - citrus, moderate yeasty, notes of toffee. Flavor is moderate to light heavy sweet, light light acidic and moderate bitter with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily - creamy, carbonation is soft to light lively. (180208)

Drank with the Boise crew. Pours a light cloudy orange with a nice head. The aroma is mostly earthy with some citrus. The flavor is also fruity, some funkiness, and is quite dry. A nice Saison.

Bottle: Pours a dirty blonde color with a big, fluffy white head. Nose is fruity and funky with bits of yeast. Tastes of apples and citrus, light hint of spices, and a touch earthy. Finished nice and crisp; well carbonated. Me thinks I’m starting to like this style more...

Bottle courtesy of mgermani: Poured a dirty cloudy dark beige color ale with huge foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of light funkyness with some typical Belgian malt. Taste is also dominated by some light funkyness with some notes of dry Belgian Malt. Body is thinner then I would have expected even thought there is quite a lot of sediment in the beer; carbonation is top-notch thought. I have to admit that I was expecting a lot more from this based on previous rating which makes me doubt if I had a bad bottle.

Had the pleasure of sampling this at the 1/27/2008 Pittsburgh ratebeer.com gathering and festival upstairs, Sharp Edge Creekhouse. It will be a long time, if ever I am invited again and I see a spread of bottles like I did there - ever again. I am not good enough for the beers that were that we sampled! For example, how about this beer; The Moneuse? Thanks to yinzer, he really overdid it at this gathering! Aroma is rather sweet to the olfactory. Golden yellow with particle floating around! Good tingly carbonation. Rather friendly and enjoyable to an extent. Lacks any bitter personality or linger. Has that backyard freshly cut grass attitude about it. I found this beer friendly and easy to get along with.
