Moinette Biologique

2004 bottle. Awesome pour, definitely looks the part, 5/5. Pours a hugely hazy golden orange/yellow with lots of visible sediment even with a careful pour. Head is massive and thick. I let it sit for ten minutes, and the head didnt even recede 20%, left some awesome milkshake thick lacing. Aroma is spice, wheaty barnyard goodness, lemon, and spicy hops. Flavor a bit too sweet for the style and my liking, but I grew to like it more towards the end. Plenty of wheat and light malts in there to balance out a rather large coriander presence. Just wished it was a bit less sweet, and had more of the peppery hops that I love from this brewer. Good for a cooler summer night.

Bottle. Hazy yellow colour with a big off-white head. Light sweet fruity, spicy aroma and a sweet fruity, spicy, perfumed taste. Medium body with a dry grassy finish.

Cloudy golden colour with a white head. malty and spicy aroma with a fruity sweetness and a hoppy note. Malty, dry spicy flavor with a light fruityness.

Bottle. Nice golden orange color with nice white head. Kinds of orangy floral hops aroma. Taste is quite funky, very fizzy with an orange citrus floral taste with good bitterness. Bière de couleur orangé avec un bon collet blanc, très belle apparence. Odeur de houblon floral et d’orange. Au goût, elle est assez étrange, elle est très gazeuse, moelleuse, elle donne une drole de senssation dans la bouche qui n’est pas désagréable et elle a un gôut d’orange, d’agrumes et de fleurs avec une bonne amertume.

Bottle. Hazy golden coloured with a white head. Aroma of malts, fruits and spices. Flavour of fruits, spices and yeast with notes of hops.

bottle pours a light hazy golden with a HUGE pillowy head that lasts the whole way through. tons of gobby lacing. aroma citrusy and sour taste is cirtusy with hints of malt and yeast. a nice sour/sweet malty character. damn fine brew.

Foret bottle from 2004. Very overactive pour and had a ton of floaties, which increased exponentially toward the end of the bottle. At first, the aroma wasn’t very good, but it got better as the bottle progressed. Same could be said for the taste, but it never really got good. I don’t know, maybe the bottle was past it’s prime. I mean, it has the funky barnyard thing going on, but there really wasn’t any sweetness to balance it off. There was a citrus hoppiness to it, but it didn’t seem like it fit. Finishes tart and dry.

Ahh, Foret. A true classic in our own time. Very yeasty head, a very notable amount of spice but not too much, and an alcohol conent we can all agree with. The flavor never disagrees with your meal, and this beaity only gets better with cellaring. If you have never tried this fine Belgian Ale, I dare say that you’ve never lived, sir.
