Borealis Fermentery La Lune Belgian-style Special Ale Brewed with Spices. 750 ml.,…no ABV given, that I can find. Knife River, MN.
Appearance: clouded, murky, dark amber cast. Slim white head of foam.
Aroma: dark fruits, spice, and Belgian yeast. Authenitically arousing and rustic.
Taste: The funk comes first, the twisted Belgian saison yeast, with traces of cocoa, raisins, cloves, ginger, and a slight citrus twang. I wrap it all up and I call it "yum." Very satisfactorily flavored. Bright, buoyant fruitiness, with a minimum of hop bitterness, that flashes on the palate, then fades out with grace. Long, malty/fruity/spicy finish, that just keeps on giving the goods. Absolutely delicious.
One more example of why Borealis is one of my favorite Minnesota breweries. Only problem with this bottle was the price ($14), but we all know that nothing good is cheap.
Hey, what does the label say? "La Lune Belgian style special ale is a full bodied, golden ale brewed with spices and a hint of wheat malt. Chill before serving, pour into your favorite glass, and enjoy this wonderful compliment to the loon, and the moon."
