Moinette Blonde
Moinette Blonde was created in 1955 and is still the brewery's flagship in Belgium. The name goes back to the Cense de la Moinette on the family estate and to the old French word moëne for marshland. The strong, copper-tinged blond is refermented in the bottle with the house yeast. Yellow fruit leads the nose, joined by orange, clove and a peppery phenolic edge. On the palate soft malt sweetness is balanced by a clear bitterness, and the finish is dry.
