Moinette Biologique

Brewed by Brasserie Dupont
Style: Saison
Tourpes-Leuze, Belgium

Pours pale golden/orange, with abundant cloudy particles. Foamy white head. Aroma is yeasty, bready, fruity, and sour/funky, but pleasant. Fruity flavor balanced with increasing citrus bitterness toward finish. Very similar to many of the tripels, but not as fruity perhaps. I agree with clingman that this Saison did not have the peppery/spicy aspect that I expected. Nice but not extraordinary to me.

MMMMMMM. Pours a hazy gold with a nice head. Citrusy aroma, a little funky/musty. The flavor is much like the aroma, adding a crisp refeshing slightly spicy character. It seems to me to be a little less spicy and more fruity than the Saison Dupont. There is a malt sweetness that appears in the aroma and beginning of the mouthfeel. It transitions to a nice dry somewhat, for a Belgian, hoppy finish. Excellent!!!!!!!

Had at seattle international beer festival. Poured hazy bright gold with bubbly white film. Aroma is lemon banana mix. Flavor very doughy, lemon and banana. Very light and nice for summer.

tap at gingermans nyc. no notes yet again. Very drinkable, grassy and floral. Pleasantly earthy and herbal, nice tingling carbonation. Very good example of the style

75cl, from De Hopduvel Gent, complex, yet easy to drink, cloudy, good head, good brew

33 cl. Foret version. Foggy orange-brown with a large head that settles to a lasting inch of meringue. Aroma is musty, tart apple baked with a dab of brown sugar-caramel and a twist of lemon juice. Flavor is similar, but the finish dries well so that it’s seemingly not as sweet as the aroma would indicate. Starts with tart apple cider and a hint of caramel turning to earthy spice, tea leaf, and a finish of bitterish woody herb. Near-medium body is acidic-tingly and watery.

Pours a hazy pale gold with a one finger creamy white head. The nose is spicy, earhty, tart, lemongrass, citrusy. The flaovr is spicy, earthy, waxy, bitter hop presence. Very nice refreshing saison. Has a waxy hop bite that I was not expecting.

750 ml 2007 bottle. Pale amber, tan-gold beer with a thick creamy tan head. Aroma is awesome, bright citrusy lemony character over a soft leathery spiciness. Zesty and lightly earthy. Lots of bright corky goodness. Rich and cologney with lots of pear/apple esters. Very spicy and peppery with a lot of flinty dryness. Quite astringent, but despite that, I quite like it. A bit of swirling softens the carbonation and makes it a much more enjoyable brew. Quite a bit maltier and richer than I typically imagine a saison to be, but it’s pretty solid nonetheless.
