The Moinette Bio* is a top fermentation, blond beer with refermentation in the bottle.
It was created in 1990 and is, together with the Saison Dupont Bio*, one of the first two organic* beers.
The Moinette Bio* has the combination of malt aromas, fruitiness and fine hops.
It is very thirst-quenchening and strikes a fine balance between mellowness, fruitiness and bitterness.
The long refermentation in the bottle ends up in a very complex beer.
The production is being controlled by Certisys and has the label Biogarantie®.

750 ml bottle into tulip glass, 2012 printed on the cork. Pours hazy golden orange color with a nice 3 finger fluffy white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to thick cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings to the glass, with a good amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big orange zest, lemon zest, pepper, coriander, earth, clove, pear, wheat, grass, hay, bread, and yeast spiciness. Fantastic aromas with great complexity and balance. Taste of big lemon, orange zest, pepper, clove, pear, wheat, bread, grass, hay, coriander, earth, herbal, floral, and big yeast spiciness. Light wheat tartness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemon, orange zest, wheat, pepper, clove, coriander, bread, earth, grass, and yeast spiciness on the finish for a good bit. Fantastic flavor complexity and balance; very crisp and fairly dry finish; no cloying flavors at all. Great malt flavor to spiciness balance as well. High carbonation and medium bodied; with a creamy, chalky, and fairly prickly and crisp mouthfeel that is excellent. Alcohol is very well hidden with almost zero warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is an absolutely world class saision. Insane balance and complexity of flavors; extremely crisp and smooth to sip on. I am going to have to revisit the normal Saision Dupont soon to compare; this is apparently the organically brewed version of that. WOW.

Bottle sample @ 2nd RBBSG, August 11th 2012. Courtesy of Dave. BB 05/2015 Dorée présentant un léger trouble, col blanc léger. Arôme malté léger, houblonné et parfumé citronné restant dans un style très belge. Palais présente un alcool qui de suite se note et devient plus présent au fur et à mesure de la dégustation. Profile reste très belge sans vraiment grand chose qui marque. Le tout est sec voire poussiéreux. Notes de fruits rappelant abricot, léger sucré et épicé au fini avec ce côté typique malté pâle/cara.Earlier Rating: 7/7/2011 Total Score: 3.425cl bottle @ Les Caves Dupont. Dorée avec léger trouble, col blanc épais. Arôme de levure Dupont qui prend un peu le dessus, houblon avec des notes fruitées et malt. En bouche, une bière au palais quasi mielleux-doux, cara malt, avec une levure bien belge. Je trouve cette version en rapport aux autres saisons de Dupont nettement plus sèche en bouche avec une note de grains qui est bcp plus présente. Pas certain que cela soit une saison, et plus une blonde belge.

Little cloudy yellow beer, small aery white head, unstable, bit adhesive. Aroma: bit sweet, sugary, oranges, marzipan, bit of sugared cream cheese, sour candy, some herbs. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: bit of citrus, sweet malts, sugary, bit of herbal hops. Aftertaste: quite some bitter hops, spices, citrus, pretty bitter. Very good Dupont beer.Earlier Rating: 7/7/2010 Total Score: 4.6Pours a golden yellow to orange beer, a little cloudy. Nice white head with irregular bubbles. Smells very fruity, orange peal and koriander, a little bit of hops. A very pleasant mouthfeeling with just enough carbon. A bitter first impression, then some alcoholsweetness that kicks in. Ends pretty hoppy, spices and citrus. A very balanced and refreshing beer.
