| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | 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. floydian1 (269), FNQ, Australia

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! shawnm213 (912), South Bend, Indiana, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | 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. Ryan82SM (236), Louisville, Kentucky, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 26, 2009 Plenty of fruit in the aroma, particularly banana and orange, with trademark spicy yeast, of course. Appearance, though "blonde", was surprisingly opaque, good sized head,even though the girl couldn’t pour to save her life. Flavor had plenty of yeasty character, along with orange, banana, apricot and other complexities. Palate was fairly lively, but not overwhelming, some alcohol presence. Good, but nothing too outstanding from other tripels on the block. ben4321 (984), Rockville, Maryland, USA

Had this on tab at the Waterfront Ale House in Manhattan, and was really impressed, great beer. Had 2 beers while I was there, this and the Rochefort 10, I’d call that SUCCESS!

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Mar 22, 2009 Disclaimer - Abbey Trippels aren’t my favorite style. But this was drinkable, and is probably an awesome one if these are up your alley. Beautiful golden color, impressive head, yeasty and fruity aroma, very complex flavor. Smooth, but packs a wallop.
