Moinette Biologique

75cl bottle from Total Wine (Jacksonville, FL). Rated on 2/25/08. Pours a cloudy golden color with massive creamy white head that settles slowly. Aroma is yeast, spice, herbs and grass. Tastes slightly bitter initially with a balancing note of sweetness toward the end. Notes of spice, cloves, yeast, bread, faint citrus throughout. Medium-bodied, heavy carbonation, slightly bitter finish.

Sweet floral fruit malt aroma. Murky yellow colour with good head and lacing. Sweet stone fruit malt flavour. Smooth palate.

Tang color with nice head that quickly dissipates into a thin coverlet. Lovely, clean, yeasty aromatic profile. Flavor is similarly of a clean yeastiness, but borders on antiseptic. However, this only strikes a1-2 note pitch, and was rather uncomplex for a saison.

The beer pours a hazy straw yellow color. It has a thick white head made up of tiny little bubbles, the head settle quickly but hangs around in a thin form for most of the time you consume it. The nose is a dusty mix of spice yeast and hops. The mouth feel is highly carbonated, this comes from the bottle conditioning. The taste is a sweet mix of spice, I get light coriander, cloves, peppercorn and nutmeg with a very forward flavor of acidic lemon. The finish is a dry sweetness that is somewhat lingering. By far a tasty beer that is good all year round but it truly satisfying after a hard day of yard work, or farm work, whatever you might be doing.

Golden with dimpled white head. Aroma is sweet and spicy with vegetal lemongrass. Taste is same... sweet, lemony, and not particularly pleasant. $7/750

Labeled Foret 750 ml. Nice deep golden color which leave a pillowy and lasting head. The whispy white foam sparkles beautifully. Yeasty light spice is evident on the nose as well as light spiced ginger, clove and a slightly spiced peppery kick. The taste is similarly spiced and graduates to a drying funked out feeling in the back. There is also a light sweetness character which gives way to a musty mustard-ish funkiness. Nice brew

Cloudy orange color with that nice big off white laced head. Smells spicy like a tripel and maybe a bit of alcohol and citrus. Sweet and carbonated/dry on the tongue. The taste is very interesting though, lemon zest with a pepper and clove spiciness and a slightly bitter finish that hides the alcohol. These flavors sort of move in order from the front to the back of your tongue. Sweet/Citrusy to Spicy/Dry to Bitter. In some ways it is like a tripel in others it is like a Witbier. My first Saison, very enjoyable.

Pours a cloudy golden body with a medium off white head. Aroma is medium sweet, floral, orange, some yeast, light clove and just a hint of skunkiness. Flavor is orange, floral, herbal and slightly spicy. Medium dry light grassy finish. Medium bodied with just a bit of acidity.
