Apr 9, 2009 Updated: Apr 11, 2009341 mL Bottle. Murky gold body with a small but tenacious foamy head that kept the beer’s surface covered all the way to the last sip and coated the sides with very good lacing. The aroma is a bouquet of apricot, hints of banana and melons, spices, and the alcohol comes through with that 9-octane. The alcohol also comes through in the flavor, not in a way that assaults the senses but in a way that asserts: "Hey! My octane is 9, sip me like wine; don’t guzzle me". Otherwise, the flavor is like a fruit salad in a bottle; apricot, peach, banana, green grapes, and plums followed by a citrusy aftertaste and a creamy-spicy finish. A great sipping beer for those tenacious wintry days that linger into the spring months.

Apr 5, 2009 The aroma is definitely with a yeasty, citrus, and slight alcohol aroma. La Fin maintains an excellent full white head, over a cloudy golden color, finishing with a nice lace. It’s flavor is full of citrus, yeast, alcohol properties, and some spice. The finish is smooth, a little too smooth, got me in a heap of trouble. The carbonation is well balanced, and the flavors aren’t too strong. Just right

Apr 4, 2009 An excellent beer from Unibroue, cloudy amber color, not a lot of nose but good carbonation and frothy head that leaves a good lace. Higher ABV is hidden. Flavor is sweet citrus and yeast, smooth. $5.79 for a caged and corked 750ml bottle from Concord Cooperative Market Concord, NH.

Apr 3, 2009 La Fin du Monde smells like a strong hefeweizen with spicy notes. It also pours like one with plenty of short-lived frothiness and cloudiness. A warming alcohol glow permeates the clove, spice, and apricot flavors. The palate is deceptively light, probably a result of the triple fermentation. While lacking the firmness and character of Aventinus (still my reference for strong wheat beers), this is still a well-balanced, enjoyable beer.

Apr 3, 2009 Updated: Apr 4, 2009750ml corked bottle into a tulip glass. A hazy golden ale with a decent sized white head. Strong aromas of malty honey and oranges. Full mouthfeel with smooth taste of oranges, honey and nice warming spicy yeasts. The finish is quite dry. Nicely integrated flavours and very drinkable given the ABV. These Canadians know their stuff!

Mar 27, 2009 Pours a clear, bubbly, goldenrod yellow. Nice dense white head that didn’t stick around. Aroma is wonderful yeast with light sweet malt and a tart fruitiness (higher temperature fermentation?). Flavor is yeasty and tart as well, with an almost pilsner-ish crispness. Not too sweet, and the aftertaste is pleasing. It just lacks that special something to put it over the top.
