Moinette Biologique

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

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.

750 ml bottle. An unclear dark golden beer with a rich and persistent white head. The aroma is very nice, hoppy and yeasty more than malty with notes of flowers, grass, lemon and spices. there is also a light sour note. The flavour has a medium sweetness, atouch of acidity and a good hoppiness in the finish. A mild spiciness with some banana notes. Medium body, average/lively carbonation, dry quite long finish with medium bitterness. Plesant beer, maybe maltier flavours than a normal Saison and complex enough to gain after every sip.

bought this as Dupont Foret. pours a cloudy caramel color. thick off white head. smells of yeast and overripe banana. taste has a sharp bite. spicier than most belgian ales. light fizziness with tart apple flavor. a big pricey due to the organic ingredents and the shipping cost. but pretty interesting.

Dirty straw yellow, towering head of tiny bubbles. Flowery/perfumey aroma, then yeasty/musty. Sweet straw-like malts, perfumey flavour (rosewater?), some citrus, and doughy yeast. Very nice.

When bottle was opened i got a skunky smell but that wasn’ there after it was in the glass. smell became fruity malt. Brownish yellow color in the pour, the flavor was doughy with a bitter dry finish. I’ve decided this is one of my least favorite styles.

A bit of a skunky smell but it disappeared in the taste. A good mix of spice with banana character and a nice bitterness. Really really good.

hazy dark gold body. smells floral and doughy. great spiciness. very dry without being overly bitter. has some buttery stuff in there too along with a thick but inviting mouthfeel, crisp carbonation. a winner in my book. gotta try it again sometime.

A damn fine saison. Bottle from WLV. Pour is a golden saison color, nose is a kiss of skunk with some spicy fruitiness behind it. All hops in the nose, surprisingly. Taste is similar, though the skunk washes out and has a spicier, tangy taste, a little banana and surprisingly bitter. A great beer on a hot day. Excellent.
