Moinette Biologique

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

A typical fruity, esthery Belgian beer. Not my favorite style. Moderate alcohol strength.

Bottle. Something bad happened here. Bad bottle? Lightstruck to hell? Not sure. Murky yellow with a huge, fluffy white head. Skunky nose, light spice. Crisp, but the skunkiness kills it. Rerate with a fresh bottle.

Fruity aroma, lemon, citrus , malt, yeast. Light breadiness. Opaque dark golden color with thick bubbly white head. Flavor is rich apple, pear, citrus, light malt. Sweet up front with a light bitterness on the finish. I didn’t get a lack of flavor on this bottle. Rich on the palate. Well carbonated. Easy to drink. Very good. Another good one from Dupont. Their beers are never shocking, but always extremely tasty and solidly constructed,

Bottle. Nose is sour, light fruit notes. Some peach, sour apple, and hints of spice. Beer is opaque orange-brown with huge white head. Frothy and immense. Upfront is apple-yeast esters which fold into a tinge of spice, which lingers. Overall impression is sour but mostly balance with a sharp mouthfeel.

Cloudy yellow with foamy white head. Aroma of orange, spice, barn yard, and yeast. Good pungent taste with fruit, spice, and bready notes. Some alsoholic warmth in the finish.

Cork popped from this one before I could get control of it. Pours a hazy straw golden, with a thick sea-foamy head. Very grassy aroma, with notes of yeast, something that hints at peppermint, light hops, Not really a whole lot going in the flavor here. A bit of grassy hops, and some definite yeasty notes, but not much else. Palate and quite average for this style, just a bit of lingering grassy flavor, and some fresh herb hiding in there as well. Flavor is certainly disappointing after the pleasant aroma, but still very drinkable, just not much to speak of.

Draught. Earthy aroma. Smells of Belgian yeast and apples. Poured golden in color with a bight white head that lasted throughout. Great lacing. Cloudy. A few particles. Very faint flavor. Slight flavor of spices. Almost tastes like water. Very light body. Oily texture. Soft carbonation. Lightly sweet finish. Easy drinking. No flavor.

Pours a hazy gold with a frothy white head. Aroma was citrus with some slight yeast characteristics. Flavor was the same; crisp but a bit watery and hardly the best saison I have tried.
