Moinette Blonde

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

From A Bottle.Pale gold in colour with a nice head.aroma is of apples spices and all things nice, taste is of warming alcohol,wood,sour fruit and more spices,quite dry.

From the bottle this brew pours an amazing orange with a tall white head that stays forever. Very crisp and dry brew with lots of spiciness pepper, esters, lots of cork aroma and flavor and a slight sourness in the finish. Very crisp dry finish with just a light hopping to balance. Amazingly drinkable for the ABV.

BCA. Fruity (bananas?), spicy, vanilla nose. Noticeable alcohol and a bitter astringent body which while not unpleasant reduced my enjoyment somewhat.

2003 750 mL Bottle: Poured gold with a huge billowing white head. Aroma of fruit, yeast, a little funk, and something familiar I can’t place. The palate is signifigantly drier than I would expect from a Tripel, maybe due to being a couple of years old? Flavor is amazing bursts of sour apple, funky yeast, and a champagne like finish.

Great Beer,cloudy orange colour with a creamy short- lived head. Intense strong flavour and dry hoppy finish. Wonderful Beer!!!!!

got to be one of the finest in the world. bottle conditioned makes very soft on the palate. beautiful. fine craftsmenship and years of tradition in a 750 ml bottle. strong yet refreshing. the website has a 12 minute streaming video about their brewing and packaging process. texas label is different and gives a short story and description. "sturdy ale...herbal bouquet...well hopped...full, round, slightly sweet finish...have with bbq". i’m a fool for not partaking in this more often.

Bottled (BB 07/2007)
Hazy golden, huge white creamy head, lace. Strange aroma of yeast, grassy hops and boiled vegetables. Good crisp hoppy, lemony blonde flavor but also some vegetables. I wonder if this is characteristic to this brew. Dissapointing, but gets better when all yeast is poured.

Bottled from Sainsbury’s beer ’festival’ 2005. Well, I’m almost impressed, post-Derby festival beer and it’s nearly the best beer of the night (so far). Lovely pale custard body and blossoming white head, bananas on the turn in the nose, catch-in-your-throat dryness tempered by a liquid lemon. Yummy.
