COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
La Moneuse is named for A. J. Moneuse (b. 1768), a famous local bandit and gang leader, and ancestor of the brewers' family. It is a classic "saison" beer by virtue of its strength and its earthy, aged quality. It has a hardy, semi-dry malt character, a fresh but not overpowering hoppiness, abundant yeasty, fruity flavors and a fairly strong, but pleasant and enticing mustiness.

Bottle from Tanakaya. Big barnyard and hop aroma, cat piss, apples, lemon, hay, bread. Deep golden with a high, thick,fine head. Dry, clean, hoppy flavor with underlying honey and bread. Grass, hay, some mint, and rather dry bitterness that lasts a long time. Light body, clean, crisp. Hides the booze well. Good hops. Dig it.

Dfonorow (555) - Hoboken, New Jersey, USA - JAN 1, 2011
Pours a light orange/yellow with a thick white head. Very good lacing and a fair amount of carbonation. Aroma is on the musty side with hints of lighter fruits and yeast. Flavor is dry and musty with a fruity finish. Medium body and carbonation throughout... very good saison.
