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.

25 cl tap. Cloudy orange, foamy creamy head. Very yeasty, a lot of hay and wheat, some basement notes, orange zest, tangerine, a bit of lemon. Mild dryness. Full bodied, oily texture, soft carbonated, dry finish. Very nice!

Bottle from Belgiuminabox. Pours a murky orange/brown colour with a very thin soapy looking off-white head. Lots of sediment in the glass. Aroma is woody with notes of alcohol, some orange, apricot, floral and spicy notes. Taste has more notes of orange, apricot, tangerine with light herbal and spice. Light to medium bodied, low carbonation and fairly smooth mouthfeel. it certainly is a different type of beer to what I’m used to. it’s not bad but i won’t be in a hurry to try again any time soon.

Bottle at a tasting. Med-thin body, med-high carbonation. Med-light honeyish syrupy sweetness, light sourness, but mostly clean, sweetish. Light fruitiness, red fruits, a hint of tartness in the background. Easy drinking, good, could use a bit more complexity though IMO.

Un olfactif bien campagnard avec notes de foin, de fleurs sauvages avec une touche de poivre et un soupçon de gomme baloune. Une mousse énorme et rocailleuse sur un liquide doré, voilé et fortement effervescent. En bouche, c’est une effervescence bien soutenue qui introduit des notes champêtres de foin, de fleurs sauvages et de poivre. Une finale herbacée et terreuse traine au fond du palais. L’équilibre se veut plutôt du coté des épices et de l’effervescence laissant en plan le fruité. La finale terreuse se veut bien sèche et atténuée. L’alcool est très bien intégré. Rafraichissante et bien amère. Son coté fruité aurait un plus grand intérêt à s’exprimer davantage.

Bottle from Tanakaya. Once again surprised I hadn't rated this before. Hazy gold light amber colour, fluffy off white head. Aroma funk, lemon, some sweetness, grain, bit of sherbert maybe, floral. Taste similar, lots going on, quite dry and refreshing, herbal, weirdness, bit of citrus bitterness, subtle fruitiness, berries. Slight hop bitterness at end. Always a good one.

75cl bottle, given as a gift from a customer for recommending Corsadyl for his toothache, saving his holiday. Drunk on my birthday. Pours hazy amber, large off-white head. Aroma is gently sweet, floral, funk, yeast. Taste is richer with a deeper caramel profile than I prefer my saison to have, some doughy yeast, grain, dried fruit hints.. extremely high carbonation that encourages slow sipping. Decent.

Bottle. Amber, slightly unclear with a large white head that collapses to a cm. Aroma is mildly funky, floral and lemony - old and zest - a little toast. Lightish bodied, fizzy. Some toast, plum skins, sugary fruit chews but not all that sweet. Dry and bitter finish with citrus and some minor spice notes. Intriguing.
