Moinette Blonde

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

Nice golden yellow pour with a thick white head. Smelled rich with citris, fruit, light spices..well balanced. The taste was solid with definite sweet malt and pears to it. Could also taste some caramel towards the finish which was dry and lasting. Found it a bit over carbontaed at first but after about ten minutes it drank very well and is a very good brew.

Bottled 0,33L. Creamy and compact foam, good persistence. Orange clearly color, not excessive hazy and with a medium fizz. Extremely complex and rich aroma; notes of spices, caramel, much flowery with rumors of wine cellar and clear mildews. Lightly prickly taste, decided and powerful. In mouth it is much dense and solid one with pleasant aromas of clear grape and aromatic herbs. Demoded. Sweet and alcoholic end of great duration.

$5.50 on tap at Elysian Tangletown; Very cloudy with a thick white head. I definitely enjoyed this...Very yeasty taste with plenty of sweetness.

Pours light golden with a wispy, most receding white head. Aroma of fruity esters: notes of bubble gum, peaches, banana, and honey. Taste is sweet sticky malts with a floral background of hops. Notes of citrus, honey, and alcohol. The greater emphasis on hops diminishes the perception of esters, but makes the beer a bit more well-rounded. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with lush carbonation and a dry finish. I wish I knew how old this bottle was, because the alcohol is more apparent than I would have expected from an 8.5% tripel. I have to say I feel the beer is a bit overcarbonated. I enjoyed this beer a bit more after it had been sitting covered for an hour. Interesting beer, and quite good!

A gold beer with small pieces of sediment. Flavor of sweet malt and fruit, fitting the tripel style nicely. Flavor includes yeast as well. Not as full flavored as their brown, but a very good beer in its own right.

75 cl bottle. Fresh fruity and vanilla-like aroma with hints of yeast. Hazy dark yellow colour with huge foam, and lazings that clings on for dear life, and lots of carbonation. Fresh, quite bitter and long-lasting taste and huge mouth feel. Great beer. Always nice when you are surprised by a beer that I wasn’t expecting much from.

WOW!!! 750 ml bottle. Dark unfiltered pour and a huge head that clings to the sides for dear life. Man it looked good...Smelled of grass, citrus and banana. I loved the hoppy taste mixed with the spices all while enjoying the aroma of the beer itself. I took my time and let it linger. I will agree and say it ends dry which again I like. 8.5% is a good thing right? I would have had 2 bottles but only had 1.. Oh well. It was fun and a good one...

Yellow/gold color color, with a large, white head. Aromas are hops, grass, and fruit. Flavors are yeast, hops, fruit, spice, and grass. Finishes dry.
