Moinette Blonde

Le birre della Brasserie Dupont hanno una marcia in più; per fortuna che c’era questa buona birra al Bruxelles Pub che altrimenti sarebbe stato un grosso fallimento... abbiamo magnato tanti panini però.

Tap at Blue Palms. Gonna have to agree with ironchefscott below me. This thing was a saison: yellow pour (same color as label) with very spicy citrusy and yeasty notes in the aroma and flavor. Lots of fruity esters. Medium to light dry finish with a medium to light body and medium to high carbonation. Not my favorite style, but undeniably good.

damn good and complex yeasty and fruity and spicy I don’t think I would have guessed that this was a triple...I would have thought a strong saison..but what do I know?

On tap at Novare Res in Portland. Not too complex, and not too far off from many other light Belgians i’ve had. Light yellow color, sweet aroma. Flavor is spicy, funky, and yeasty.

Bottle, 330ml. A cloudy golden colour with a small head. Aroma of peach, bready malt, clove and yeast. Taste has caramel, clove, peach, plum, lots of malt and a touch of yeast. Really tasty.

Bottle (330ml). Poured hazy golden orange with a small, sticky, off-white head which was average lasting. Aroma was of ripe banana’s with cloves, orange zest, cinnamon bread, coriander and some white pepper. Flavor was of sweet bready malts with tangy orange citrus, lemon zest, dry pears, juicy pineapple, hints of banana, light notes of cloves and a spicy finish of coriander. Medium bodied with soft carbonation, a dry/spicy mouthfeel and a great finish. Very good balance of flavors with well a hidden alcohol content.

Straw colored and hazy. Nose of yeast and citrus. Full bodied. Flavor of malt, hay, and citrus. Very subtle and very very drinkable.

From bottle at De Pikardijn, St-Lievens-Houtem. Hazy,deep golden with a steady off-white head. Yeasty and hoppy nose followed by some sweet maltiness. Overall quite bitter. There is no hiding craftmanship.
