Moinette Blonde

Brewed by Brasserie Dupont
Style: Abbey Tripel
Tourpes-Leuze, Belgium

Bottled. Hazy yellow colour, not muich head. Aroma is graqss, spices, earth and some floral hints. Flavour is very much the same. A quite boring brew, but does hide the 8.5% alcohol very well.

Pours hazy yellow with an absence head. Sweet aroma that contains notes of wheat and flowers. Dominant alcohol in a quite hoppy blonde. Far from what expected but decent.

330 ml Moinette bottle. Rich golden color with frothy white head than turns a thin creamy cover. Nose is orange, citrus, spicy yeast. Taste is bright and citrus rich with orange being the dominant fruit. Creamy carbonation with nice drying hop finish and a lingering light spice.

Bottle. Pours deep gold colour. Decent white head. Aroma is citrus / spice / yeasty. Taste is citrus with some pear. Finish is smooth & dry.

Bottle: Poured a hazy floaty filled yellow to gold color with a creamy thick white head. The aroma was orange peels, hops and some spicy yeast. The taste was fruit with those citrus orange tones. Finish was hoppy and consistent with that spice aroma.

330ml brown bottle. Deep gold colour. White head is well formed and long lasting. Left nice sheets of lacing in my Affligem glass. Aroma of orange zest and yeast, spicy and a little bready. Flavour is of citrusy slight herbal hop, yeast, and some spicy alcohol notes with malt fruitiness (peach and pear?). Moderate bitterness, dry finish. Fine carbonation, medium body.

BAM, explosion of corkage. Poured a unfiltered copper color with a frothy lasting white head. Has a good amount of yeast. Carbonation is balanced well. Has typical belgium tripel qualities. Finishes clean.

06 bottle. Pour is a hazy gold with with yeast floaters. Nice creamy white head. Aroma of lemon, grain, bread, spice, and fruit. Flavors of lemon zest, banana, bread, spice, and some sweet fruity notes. A bit of alcohol comes through. Another tasty brew from dupont.
