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.

Bottle, at ZBF 2006. Hazy amber, thin off white head and gentle condition. Grain and a gentle yeastiness in the nose, quite dry and unexciting in the mouth with a fainty grainy sweetness, short sweet malty finish.

Hazy orange colored pour with little to no head. Spicy, yeasty aroma with a citrusy, floral bitter finish.

poured an orangish yellow with a very large creamy white head. What i took for a vanilla and lemon/peachy fruit in the aroma with a slightly bitter fruit flavour moving into a malty earthy sweetness. Notes are limited, def. worth a re-rate.

Pours cloudy gold/orange. Aroma is yeast, spices, fruit, and earth. Flavor is fruit, yeast, spices, and an earthy funkiness. Very good. I like this one a lot. Thanks for this bottle, Dan.

Clear golden color with a big white fizzy head. Wild grass, yeast and citrus aroma. Some funky sour flavors. Sweetness on the back end and fruit up front. Decent drink. By the way, my label looks a little different than the picture here.

Bottle, bought @ Willems, Grobbendonk. A copper-gylden colour with a very big, fluffy white head. Aroma is champagne-like, grapes and a little pepper. Nice, full mouthfeel - very smooth. Flavour is sweet and spicy, with pepper, grapes, peach, a good dry bitterness, coriander, oregano, oranges and yeast all breaking through. The alcohol is nowhere to be seen.

Bomber. Always nice to find a highly rated belgian at discount prices. Cloudy orange with a tall white head, not as overly sweet as some belgian, nor could I detect the alcohol at first sip. A warm taste even when chilled, smooth, very nice. Gotta head back and see if there’s more of this on sale... very nice catch. It does seem just a bit overcarbonated.

Pours a nice deep orange with a rediculously huge off-white head. Aroma is very sweet and yeasty with a slight tartness and funk. Taste is predominatley sweet but is very well blended with a barnyard funk that adds a whole new aspect to this brew. This beer is so smooth wth a unique flavor of funk and barnyard mustiness that I love. Damn! Saison is aweseome, and this is one fine example.
