Moinette Biologique

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

[Bottle] Pours a cloudy gold with a large, fluffy white head. Aroma is really awesome with candi sugar, doughy yeast, and a touch of citrus. Flavor is pretty sweet, earthy, candi sugar, lots of bready yeast, and some grassiness.

Dark yellow body and very tall, slightly off-white, head. Nice nose of yeast, citrus, cinnamon and a bit of cookie. Taste of straw, sunflower seeds, weak orange juice, and earthen roots (?). Palate is quite thick, long bitter finish. If you like it earthy and funky this is for you.

Pours a cloudy orange with a thin ring of foam and minimal lacing. Aroma is sweet barley and light funk. Tastes surprisingly dry and hoppy, a little bit of watery orange juice, lingering dry finish. Good carbonation and thick, creamy body. A bit too pepper and disagreeable - not quaffable enough for me.

Cloudy orange pour, thin white head with some retention and good lacing. Sweet and musty nose, some bubblegum and a bit of sourness. Flavour is dominated by bubblegum, fruit and pepper, finish is of moderate length and quite dry. Nice tingly carbonation. A very well balanced beer and as fine a Saison as I’ve had.

Definite cloves in the aroma, spicy yeast and light fruit. Translucent and grainy appearance, with a nice sized head that went away for the most part after my pour. Flavor is full of fruit character, especially the clove detected earlier, as well as some other ripe fruit, like grape and banana. Palate is pretty lively and of a medium body. I enjoyed this beer very much.

Bottled 75cl. It pours a hazy orange beer with an average sized white head. Good head retention and lacework. Aroma: Yeasty. Hints of bubblegum, coriander, cork, melon, clove, barnyard, hops and banana. Flavor and palate: Slightly sour. Nicely balanced. A lot of cork and melon showing up. Light bodied. Deeply refreshing. Slightly peppery. Nice hop profile. Decent bitterness. Some clove sneaking in. The alcohol is very nicely hidden. Dry finish. Overall impression: Pleasant. A very good beer I would like to drink again in summer.

Very solid saison, up there with Dupont’s flagship Saison Dupont. Excellent gold appearance with white head. Yeasty, fruity, spicy aroma. Fruity with spices and a good sweetness. Refreshing finish and a smooth palate.

Haven’t had a Saison for a while now. so this took a little getting used to but halfway through the first glass I started to really enjoy this. A bit of orange in this hazy golden body with a decent head. Yeast and fruit on the nose, carries through to the taste, don’t really notice the alcohol, just falls away a little on the finish.
