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.

Pours a hazy golden color with a big, foamy white head that shows great retention. As it finally settles patchny lacing circles the glass. The aroma shows notes of spicy floral hops, citrus, dry wheat, and some toasted bready malt. The flavor is equally nice with orange peel and lemon blending nicely while the floral hops dry things out and add their natural bitterness. This is hoppier than I thought it would be, but that is a good thing. Medium bodied mouthfeel and very well carbonated that is very easy to drink. Nice, dry, and refreshing finish. Really nicely done here. Another solid brew from this brewery.

Hazy yellow gold under a lasting white head and a sticky, stringy lace. Fruity, floral aroma, hints of honey, lemon, and a faint peppery spice. Medium body and effervescence, dry palate.A lot going on in the flavor with a light malty sweetness, some acidity, some sourness in the background, and a spicy bitterness to finish it off. Very nice, lots of flavor and aroma.

Bottle. Some floral notes but also some yeasty bread. Yellow body with white head and some crud floating around in the glass. Some fruits but mainly the yeasty bread flavor light spice added. Is rather smooth on palate but the drynesss lingers makes you yearning for either water or a refreshing brew to cleanse the palate.

Bottle. Huge very fizzy white head with poor retention, very nice lacing, lively, fast rising carbonation, hazy, and a yellow hue. The aroma was very nice-malty, yeasty, hoppy, floral, fruity, and spicy. The flavor was sweet, malty, hoppy, spicy, fruity, and a short dry finish. The mouthfeel was mostly smooth and slightly tingly and medium bodied. A nicely balance beer, easy to drink, refreshing on a warm Indiana summer day, worth a try, would definitely drink this again. More please!

Thanks MartinT! Nice hazy golden appearance with freaky sediment, medium white lacing head. Fantastic aroma of hops, resin, some caramel and fruits. Resiny mouthfeel too with hop, some citrus and orange peel taste, fine malt in the background. Dry hoppy finish, aftertaste. Yes, the beer is a mix of belgian and english brewing traditions. Fine!

pale yellow color with a big head, the aroma is somewhat antiseptic with mild clover and honey aromas and some obvious hops. The taste reminds me of a glacier spring that a spruce tree fell into.

Bottle thanks to gethinbeer. Pale golden amber beer. Aroma is lovely. Soft zesty hop aroma. A light Belgiany maltiness and a bit of light bubble gum aroma as well. There is a bit of zesty hop aroma along with a bit of citrus. A kiss of lemon peel and a light perfumy zestiness. Fruity and lightly spicy hops. Earthy/herbal hops over a touch of crackery character. Quite spicy and herbal with a fairly hoppy finish. This is really lovely, complex stuff.
