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®.

75 cl bottle, cork screw. Porter yellow color, hazed, big frothy white head. Smell is citrusy, hoppy, yeasty classic of the style. Aroma pale malts, citrusy hops, grains, earthy yeast, light sugary, grassy. Very earthy, spiced. Raw, earthy, crude yet refined, nice one.

I got this bottle in a trade with nutbrown. Thanks Alan!
2007 vintage as per cork...
It pours a hazy hazy peach colour with a beautiful head of foam that take about one third of my Celebrate glass. The lacing is stick and it is awesome! Quite the beauty appearance wise.
The smell is all Saison. Lots of yeast, fruit, some clove, some pepper, and very earthy.
The taste follows through...big earthy/musky tones with nice yeasty notes, coriander, clove, a little pepper, some citrus tartness, all in a medium bodied, medium carbonated package and it finishes delightfully dry. Very tasty and very drinkable. Yeah, it's not exactly a lightweight in the abv department but still, I can't stop taking sip after sip and I'm a big fan of the style when it is done right. This one fits that bill. No pun intended. Thanks again, Alan!

Imported from my RateBeer account as Oelegems Titsenbier (2017 - ...) (by Brasserie Dupont):
Aroma: 8/10, Appearance: 4/5, Taste: 7/10, Palate: 3/5, Overall: 14/20, MyTotalScore: 3.6/5
14/X/17 - 33cl bottle from Willems (Grobbendonk) (I think) @ home - BB: n/a (How is this legal? Nothing on the cap or the label or the bottle neck...) (2017-1777)
Mainly clear light blond beer, small creamy white head, little stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: very yeasty, malty, grains, fruity, some citrus. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: sweet malts, caramel, bit fruity, bit of citrus. Aftertaste: sweet malts, some yeast, grains, soft bitterness, some caramel. Another decent Dupont, yet not super.

0.75l bottle. Murky golden body with an enormous white head. The carbonation is extremely vigorous. Huge barnyard notes in the aroma after the first whiff followed by some bread, grass, earth, pepper, lemon zest and some floral hops. The barnyard character fades quite quickly though. Taste of honey, hay, lemon zest, pepper and grassy hops. The finish is crisp like a dry sparkling wine and bitter too. Very enjoyable beer. Like a well made strong saison.
