Ever since its creation in 1955, this beer is considered as “the showpiece” of the brewery Dupont on the Belgian market.
For centuries, the region where the brewery is situated, was pretty swampy, (swamp = marais (français moderne) = moëne (français ancient), so the name Moinette was linked to this “moëne region”.
In the little village of Tourpes existed also a mill and a “Cense de la Moinette”, both belonged to the Dupont dynasty. (cense = farmstead).
Originally, the name “Abbaye de la Moinette” was used for this beer, but since 1980 the name “Moinette” has become the commercial name.
Coppery blond with many fine hop aromas, the Moinette Blonde is a very refreshing beer, thanks to its subtle balance between sweet, bitter and fruity.
The selection of our yeasts gives this beer its typical aroma and taste.
A real refermentation in the bottle, which continues for a long time in your cellar, results in a complex taste and harmonious bouquet.

Had this many times in the 80s & 90s, but apparently not during my rating years. On NYE 2024, as Avec Les Bons Voeux was unavailable. Pours a mostly clear golden body and a dense, rocky white head with retention until the end. Aroma's: citrus zest, Dupont house yeast, along with light sweetness and fruit retronasal. Flavour is light sweet and light moderate bitter. Medium bodied. Proper carbonation. Finishes with a decent bitterness.

Bottle 0,33ltr: Hazy orange coloured ale with an nice spicy taste, with hints of caramel and vanilla. And is pretty yeasty also.

75 cl bottle, shared. Slightly hazy golden colour with a frothy white head. Sweet aroma with yeasts, pear, stone fruits, grasses, and earthy hoppy notes. Alcohol dense notes. The taste is sweet. Medium to full body. Drying fruity finish with lingering alcohol. Nice classic.

A small taste from a friend (tap) @ Pikkulintu Puotila. Pours hazy yellow with a medium creamy head. Aroma is spicy malts with belge yeast. Flavor is spicy malts, belge yeast, alcohol, hops. Very good.

Nice classic. On the more sharp dry phenolic side. But a good example that has some differences from the pop pale ales. Random brussel bar
