Moinette, one of the last Saison farmhouse-style breweries
left in Belgium makes the venerable Saison Dupont, as well as
Moinette and Bon Voeux - the brewery's gift to their patrons.
One of the fantastic winter beers of Belgium - this beer is a cloudy gold with a nice and mildly spicy nose. When it it is first tasted, you taste spices ranging from nutmeg to black pepper followed by a nice strong bready yeasty quality. As typical with Belgian winter beers, the spiciness is immediately followed by a sugar sweetness and then supplanted by the strong sour yeast taste that defines all Belgian beers.
A definite beer to search out, and one that will age for a
number of years if stored properly.
