Moinette Biologique

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

First impression is skunk, but that goes away quickly, leaving room for great saison aroma. Sweetness, yeast, wheat. Huge pillowy whit head. Golden color, lots of bubbles, a little cloudy. Much more mild than I expected, however the alcohol comes through i the finish. I don’t taste much fruit, maybe some apples. Nice full mouthfeel. Not overly carbonated. Good beer, a bit too mild in the flavor with a little too much alcohol bite.

Bottled. A very refreshing and light, fruity saison ale, easily enjoyed. Hazy golden hue that produces a rocky white head that’s very thick and laces nicely. It’s got that refreshing authentic Belgian saison aroma of pear, banana, green apples, yeast and hops. Lively carbonation that extrudes the flavors very well, notes of orange, coriander, yeast and Belgian spice. I would gladly drink this one again.

75cL bottle, cork dated 2.07. Initial pop of the cork let loose some nasty skunkiness that faded very quickly once poured into a glass. Pours a slightly hazy liquid, deep golden in color, short lived fizzy white foam, very minimal lacing. Aroma is lots of green apple skins with some almost minty hop notes and maybe just a touch of honey. Flavor is lots of green apple, quickly fading to a very dry hoppy finish. Mouthfeel is about perfect for the style, crisp, highly carbonated and light on the palate for 7.5%. Not bad, but give me the chemically engineered version any day, much more malt complexity.

11.2 ounce bottle in a Duvel glass. Cloudy orange with off-white head and lace. Aroma of hops, citrus, spice and pizza dough. Complex mix of flavors: honey-orange fruitiness, tobacco-spice bitterness. Medium body, medium-high carbonation. Overall: Very excellent.

Bottle: Poured a hazy yellow with a thin white head. The aroma has a orange peal hint to it, also there is suttle wheat, overall the aroma is not overwhelming. The taste is something I have never had before and is very hard to explain. Sweet at first but leaves a leafy dry finish. I like it, but in a total different way than most beers.

2006 Stamped Cork...750ml Bottle...In USA as Foret. Great Label...Dangerous cork explosion and almost killed me, luckily I followed protocol and did not point at my face...Hazy Yellow/Orange Amber Hue with thick lasting white foamy head, excellent lacing in Duvel Tulip...Light wheaty smell, lost carbonation rather quickly, not a whole lot of flavor but light in wheat, dough and citrus. Long doughy finish...Organic beers tend to not be as flavorful as their conventional counterparts...This was a little less flavorful than Saison Dupont but the lack of preservatives goes a long way...Still great and good for you too!!!

Hazy golden yellow with fine floffy white head. Very citrusy... Got some yeast, hops, flowers and malty caracter. Smooth with nice long taste...

Bottel.33cl. Aroma held lots of interest: Citrus, spice, bread dough, summer garden. Light to medium bodied and dry.
