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.

0.375 Bottle from BIAB. Golden beer with a fine head. Very mild nose, fresh apple, smells dry. Flavor is fantastic: complex but somehow dry caramel, no burning rubber aftertaste like by many wild sours, a bit of bready biscuit rounding it out. Very fine/high carb. Mild bitterness that doesn't disturb the other goodness going on here. Very unique & tasty for the style!

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.
