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.

A hazy orange beer with a small white head. The aroma is malty with slight notes of smoke as well as wheat, while the flavor is sweet spicy with coriander standing out, but also with a clear wheat presence, leading to a dry end.

Bottle, bought @ Havnens Vin & Tobak, Vejle.
Pours muddy pale yellow with a wonderulf, creamy, white head. Aroma is wonderful. Wheaty sweetness, lemons, ginger, yeast, oranges and cloves. Light bretty notes. Highish carbonation, fine and light mouthfeel. Sweet flavour, and it almost feels like a Saison. Pepper, ginger, yeast, wheat, oranges, lemons, banana, green apple and cloves - and just the right amount of hops. Wonderful.
