Moinette Biologique

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

Pour is a bright golden with a large white head. Aroma is very spicy and malty with a hint of funk. Flavor is spice up front then comes a bit of the cloves followed by some creamy yeast. Again an ever so slight funk is left on the tounge as this goes down. A very enjoyable saison.

750 ml bottle, corked and caged, labeled as Foret, purchased at Royal Liquor in South Kansas City, Missouri. 2.008 stamped on the cork. Pour is a hazed cloudy orange yellow, with a very thick and pretty white head. Splotchy lacing lines the glass as the head slowly falls. Pretty. Aroma is big skunk initially, when that airs out, nice grainy, wheat, mineral and earthy yeastiness. Also a nice floral citrus tart sour smell going on. Nice nose. Taste is a nice soft grainy wheat, followed by a clove sweetness, then the citrus bite and finally a soft white pepper. More grassy mineral earthiness in the finish. Lots of spice and flavor in this one. Palate is medium, nice active carbonation and an earthy dry finish. Really nice.

Bottle. The aroma is sweet, light smell of cookies and a very soft smell of alcohol, also flowery and light spicy. The head is small, white and fizzy with a normal duration. The body is yellow and clear. The taste starts light bitter and finishes more bitter with a long duration. The middle is light metallic and sweet, quite nice taste. The body is light to medium, dry and with a soft carbonation.

Bottle name on the lable Foret. Pours out a cloudy straw topped with a white head. At first nose of skunk and them moves on to plenty of spice and some floral. tast was more of the spice and even a littler perfume. Thanks Rick

Bottled as Foret Saison. Light clear amber color with a citrus and Belgian yeast nose. Taste is an immediate burst of lightness. Long bitter leftovers. Nuts turning to aspirin.

Bottle shared. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Aroma of spiced clove, citrus, yeast. Taste is similar with a dry and very lively mouthfeel. Overall, an enjoyable and solid saison.

Reviewed 4/21/2009 (Bottle): Pours a very light colored body, yellow cloudy and fizzy. Big foamy fluffy head and big bubbles, very lasting, white. Aroma of spiciness, floralness too. Perfumy and very fragrant. Spicy fragrant taste. light and floral. Very tasty. Light and somewhat drying. Very tasty. Effervescent.

Crushed with Jakebra at the Colorado Springs Saison Festival. Grass and tangerine in the flavor and nose. Excellent saison. Dry and yeasty, but hardly any sourness. Sweet and funky.
