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.

The aroma is fruity and yeasty with malt, coriander, hops and spice. The appearance is nice with a large foamy head and hazy gold color. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is thin. This is a nice belgian style ale.

Frothy white head on a cloudy unpasteurised yellow body. Had to swirl the bottle at the end to get the sediment into the glass. Big citrussy, floral, yeasty, hoppy aroma. Complex flavor of spicy coriander, citrus, yeast and very hoppy. Another great beer from Dieu Du Ciel. They are making some great craft beers.

11.5 oz bottle pours a hazy golden amber body. Medium offwhite head retains well and leaves lots of thin patches of lace on the snifter. Aroma is spicy pepper, yeast, grassy and floral hops, and some citrusy esters. Light medium body has a zingy carbonation and a distinct peppery bite. Taste is complex and mostly hop driven. A floral and peppery dryness dominates the faint banana and grapefruit hints. Solid malt backbone is biscuity, with only a subtle sweetness. Belgian yeast is prominent. This Canadian ale is very much in the Belgian style of hoppy ales. Nicely done.

Cloudy amber with a good foam on top. The aroma is surprisingly hoppy. There’s this huge grassy noble hop aroma that shocks the sinuses. Flowery aroma that reminds me of jonquils/daffodils. Good straw malt like a pilsner with sweetness added. This is actually an incredibly tasty beer.

Bottle. Big fruity, floral, spicy nose, heavy yeast presence but just dynamite flavor. Coriander, lemon zest, wheat, and again, floral spice. Hazy lemon yellow pour with a dense white head. Crisp medium body, almost too carbonated, with loads of wheat and lemon/orange peel. Very, very dry and spicy, slightly peppery with coriander and alcohol heat, along with some sort of exotic guarana/guava/mango fruit notes coming from either the yeast or the hops. Peach and pear, too. A good one, feels more like a tripel than was likely intended.

Taste is a bit on the peppery side but the dry hopping adds a nice accentuation to its bitterness along with tones of lemongrass, orange and a strong grapefruit character. I’ve been throwing that grapefruit word with other reviews but now I really taste it. My wife would probably give this over a 4 is she was a member here. Bottle from NEPA case split club.

A hazy golden-orange beer with a small white head that leaves a very nice lacing. Aromas of pepper, yeast and malt. Flavor is spicy and fruity, with notes of corianders and citrus. Light-medium body with a dry and hoppy finish. Well-balanced.
