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. A hazy amber beer with a big white head. The aroma is of yeast, fruits and spices, the taste is much the same, but leavs a dry feeling. Medium body with a medium body and a dry finish. High caronation.

750 ml bottle. An unclear medium amber beer with a medium sized and disappearing white head. The aroma is rustic and nicely hoppy, with notes of bread, hay, oranges, flowers. The flavour is very balanced between its ingredients. Again flowery and fruity. There is a balanced acidity. Medium body, lively carbonation, dry long finish with medium bitterness and the alcohol is well hidden. A great beer, apart some problem with the uncorking because part of the beer is gone after the expolosion at the opening of the bottle. I will have this again.

Explodes from the bottle after removing the cage from the cork (scared the shit out of me actually). Huge gushing bubbly beer, dirty amber gold. Musty basement, dried straw, chamomile, citrus fruit, dry herbal finish. Complex and delicious.

Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture légèrement crémeuse. Moyenne effervescence en bouche. Légère présence d’épices en arrière goût. (Rating #1721)

As soon as I loosened the cage there was a loud POP and the cage and cork shot about 6 feet into the air. It scared the hell out of me. Watch out! Not surprisingly it poured with a huge white head. Citrus, yeast and earthy, musty aromas. Flavors of citrus, yeast, spices. Light/medium body with prickly carbonation and a dry finish. A very good saison.
