La Moneuse is named for A. J. Moneuse (b. 1768), a famous local bandit and gang leader, and ancestor of the brewers’ family. It is a classic "saison" beer by virtue of its strength and its earthy, aged quality. It has a hardy, semi-dry malt character, a fresh but not overpowering hoppiness, abundant yeasty, fruity flavors and a fairly strong, but pleasant and enticing mustiness.

Bottle. Unclear golden color with white head. Aroma is apricots, fruity esters. Taste is apricots, peach, very estery, not really phenolic, mildly warming finish. Oily mouthfeel, high sparkly carbonation. Solid!

Syrup sweet start of grapes and maple syrup, grass malts, dry hay, a vague hint of booze. Mushy carbonation. Pleasant enough but I'm not wowed.

37.5cl Fles van FoedersOnline. Troebel goudgele kleur, witte kraag. Rode appels, hint van zoethoet / drop, moutig, vrij zoet, smaakt meer als een oude tripel dan een saison, honing, hint van citrus, degelijk bitter, naar het einde toe droger. Medium body. Werd met elke slok beter.

0.75 l bottle shared at the bar at Valhalla (huge thx!). Hazy golden body, off-white head. Perfumey, fruity, citric, honeyish, pleasantly yeasty aroma. Perfumey, fruity, citric, honeyish, pleasantly yeasty in the creamy taste. This is a classic for a reason.

375ml green bottle with a cork and cage that pours a hazy golden-amber colour with very active, tiny bubble carbonation. Creamy light-beige coloured head, good retention and full foamy lacing. Everything seems well-blended in here, as everything seems mild for a 8% ABV. Aromas of caramel base, apples, Belgian yeast and alcohol. Pretty much the same in the taste with hints of pears to balance the rest. Very easy drinking for a Belgian strong ale, if this is your thing. A smooth, not too complex one.

Blaugies La Moneuse Saison 8% Incredibly dense rocky head of foam with a zesty aroma. The body on this was incredibly soft with a round carbonation. The taste was subtle but satisfying with malt sweetness and floral hops joining the mild saison spice. So easy to drink.

BBD end of 2020, consumed at the start of 2021, opened with a pop, but the beer was not spilling all over the place. Smell- weak to medium, malt, herbal, Belgian tones, caramel. Foam- Thin, herbal, caramel, weak hops, grass, faint sweetness. Head is small, even tiny white color. Fizzy. Appearance- simple forced bottle, the label is simple. Cloudy orange color, there is some sediment however, might be due to age. From- snifter Taste - malt, caramel, Belgian tones, weak sweetness, faint alcohol?. Wak bitter notes with maybe really really faint sour after tones. Feels herbal. Nice neutral Saison.
