Commercial Description:
Dernière volonté (French for "Last Will") is a mix of Belgian and English brewing traditions. Complex flavours of hop flowers and spicy, fruity esters from our belgian yeast are perfectly balanced with the robust flavours and aromas of malt. The finish is commandeered by an assertive aroma from dry-hopping.

Bottle: The aroma consists of moderate orange and peach along with honey and pepper. It pours a cloudy golden-orange with lots of sediment and a creamy white head. The flavor starts with orange and peach. The finish has light-moderate floral hops and pepper. Medium bodied with a soft mouthfeel.

12oz bottle. Pours a hazy medium golden color with a fluffy off white head that left great lacing. Great nose of citrus, banana and Belgian yeast. Flavor is fruity with citrus, banana and other tree fruits. Finish starts sweet then finishes off dry, damn good stuff.

Citrus and light malt aroma with fruity notes. Light sourness and some spices. Rose colored body with tight bubbly white head. The head on mine had a good duration which helped with the palate. Flavors are malt, some hops, some hay and grass, with a bitter finish. Some dried fruit. Mouth is a bit creamy from the head with a drying bite. Enjoyable.

bottle. Pours a pale golden color, thin tight head that clears to a ring quickly. Sticky sweet flowery nose- very heavy, thick sweet aroma. Flavor develops much more balance and depth than the nose, with a quick and sharp spicy hop bite on the front, muted sweet caramel and toffee notes in the background. Very dry and astringent on the palate, in a very good way. Some booze shows up in the finish.

Insanely perfumey, flowery nose, with definite acetone elements. Strong hop flavors - astringent, drying. Cottony body, pillowy. Good, but intense, flavors. I would like to age this - properly (this was a dusty bottle obtained at Ye Olde Beer Shoppe)...

Bottle from West Lakeview, Chicago. Cloudy orange with large white head. Nose is citrus, lemon, grapefruit, yeast, off-dry, apricot, some spice, nice. Flavor is dirty fruit: grapefruit, apricot; yeast, spice, alc, maybe a little perfume, dry, Medium to thin with lively carbonation. Nice but dirty and alc at the same time.

Pours dirty gold with thin white head. The aroma is very fruity and candy – like with notes of apple, apricot, yeast and spice. The taste is very spicy with yeast spice notes and cinnamon. Those flavors are soon followed by big fruitiness by midway from apples, pears and apricots. It ends with a bit of Belgian candi sugar.

Thanks retorp for the share. Pours hazy yellow-orange with nose of Belgium: yeast, citrus, faint apple, spice, citrus, and an enjoyable caramel/toffee note. Flavor is much the same with pieces of caramel, hops, booze, and a dry finish. Enjoyable.
