Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Moinette Blonde
◎ Appearance
Pale golden with a copper-tinged hue, bright and clear with fine carbonation evident throughout. The head is white and persistent, clinging to the glass with good lacing as the beer is consumed.
◌ Aroma
Yellow fruit notes dominate the nose—pear and apple—layered with subtle orange zest and dried citrus peel. A gentle clove and peppery phenolic character emerges from the bottle-refermented house yeast, adding spice and complexity without dominating.
◐ Taste
Soft malt sweetness forms the foundation, delivering subtle cereal and biscuit flavors that evolve across the palate. A clean, herbaceous bitterness emerges mid-palate, balancing the sweetness without harshness, while the yeast character adds a dry, slightly peppery snap.
◑ Finish
The finish is crisp and dry, with the yeast-driven phenolic spice lingering pleasantly into the aftertaste. Residual bitterness subsides gently, leaving the palate clean and inviting of the next sip.
