Unibroue Don de Dieu

Brewed by Unibroue (Sapporo)
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Chambly, Canada

12 oz bottle purchased at John’s Grocery In Iowa City. Poured a hazy yellow-gold color. Head was thick, rocky, and white with good retention and lacing. Fruity aroma of distinct pineapple, some citrus, and a whiff of banana. Effervescent and slightly sweet on the tongue. Lots of fruits and spices in the flavor including mandarin orange, clove, subdued pineapple, alcohol, and white pepper. There was also some yeasty bread dough. Great beer.

341ml bottle. Semi clear amber gold with a medium white head. Warm aroma of wheat and yeast with light fruits and some alcohol. Flavours are sweet malts with notes of fruit and spice. Finishes sweet but not cloying, and begging for another sip.

12 oz. bottle poured into tumbler- poured dangerously murky yellow golden, big white head quickly bubbled away, moderate carbonation. Aroma of yeast with various ripe fruit esters; orange, green apples, and apricots to name a few. Hits the mouth with a medium body, fruit is more pronoucned than in the aroma, , finish is wet and leaves you begging for more, alcohol is extremely well hidden. I have to admit this maybe a beer I have to beat someone down just to get!

Pours a cloudy bright orange with a flimsy white head that soon disapates. That sounds unattractive but isn’t. Just interesting. Smells of malt and apricot with some banana and spice. Flavor of dried fruit with a slight hop balance and even a little pepper. Sticky, oily, tar like finsh that leaves a bitter orange hard candy flavor. I like.

From a 750 ml C&C bottle, this poured a cloudy orange with a good sized head that was gone quickly and left light lacing. Nose is very fruity. Seems like citrus, apple, and apricots. Mouthfeel is slick and flavor is sweet, with alcohol showing. Overall the flavors are powerful, maybe almost too much so that it seems a little more like fermented fruit punch than ale. After the first few ounces it got more difficult to drink. Not bad, but not as good as some of the other Unibroue offerings.

very fruity, typical belgian/wheat characteristics, bubbly, very easy to drink, hard to believe that this is a 9% alcohol content

Bottle at Bacchus. Pours a hazy orange, large white head that doesn’t stick around long. Aroma is sweet with fuit aromas. Flavor is again sweet, but not annoyingly sweet. Oranges, peach and apples dominate the flavor profile. Nice beer, I’ll be having this one again.

I would drink this again, and I do not say that about Unibroue (well... the cassis Ephemere is pretty special). Very crisp, very easy-drinking. Like a sweeter, less complex version of Gouden Carolus Easter. Only slight yeast, vague fruit.
