Unibroue La Fin Du Monde

Brewed by Unibroue (Sapporo)
Style: Abbey Tripel
Chambly, Canada

0.33 l bottle. Hazy golden color with thick creamy head, very fizzy. Tart, fruity, peppery and clovey aroma with notes of vanilla. Sweetish initially followed by tart and dry finish. Very tart, fruity and spicy flavor with orange, pineapple, clove, pepper and warming alcohol. Very high carbonation. The carbonation is too much for me but still this is an excellent tripel!

Bottle: This was the first Belgian Style Ale I had ever tried, and I remember it blew me away. I have since revisited this wonderful brew. It pours a hazy golden with a fruity aroma. The flavor is also fruity with some citrus. A complexity of flavors. It is heavily carbonated.

Bottle into a pint glass. It pours a magnificent foamy head. Very nice aromas, very fruity, almost like a sweet white wine. Very pale, golden color. Some caramel, citrics and yeasty (no dark malts to cover it). Very nicely balanced. Good palate. Clean finish. Great!

Bottle at home ... a gusher so very hazy orange ... a strong belgian hopped ale ... fruit estery again belgian hop ... little caramel litttle orange ... quite tasty

Presentation: It was poured from a 750ml bottle that is corked and caged into a chalice. It has a hazy body with a light golden amber color with a pale orange hue. The head is smooth, thick and creamy with good retention. It has a creamy off white color and it leaves behind soft lacing as it is slowly sipped down to the bottom of the glass. The aroma is full and fruity. There is sweet orange citrus and spicy character with a big hit of yeast and tropical fruits like pineapple. It has a sweet rich and fruity malt and yeast flavor up front. Tropical fruit like pineapple and guava are noted. Soft spices come out and the alcohol starts to warm things up. Hops add a light citrus and leafy flavor before the yeast comes back out and turns powdery and slightly dry in the slow lingering finish. The texture is smooth and creamy with perfect carbonation for the medium body. Outstanding and wonderfully complex with great drinkability.

Great looking beer. It rivaled Duvel for foamy head, and had beautiful lacing. Head settles down to about a quarter inch that lasted throughout. Not quite as chunky as Duvel. Opaque, orangish yellow color. Aroma was very Belgian. Yeasty, sugary, fruity. Tasted much like liquid bubblegum, with some hints of orange and candy. Very well balanced. Nice mouthfeel. Light carbonation. An excellent finish, leaving the mouth clean and wanting more. This is an excellent beer. Well balanced, and each sip leaves you wanting more. A little strong to drink a lot of, but an excellent choice that I will buy again.

Bottle. Cool room temperature. Poured pale blonde with a thick white head. Full fruity and floral aroma. Wonderful full all over the tongue flavor. Lasting floral aroma. Lovely beer.

Darker orange, murky. Fluffy white frosting head. Zesty carbonation up front which leads to spice. Warming alcohol and some light bitterness on the back end. Light fruits and orange present in nose and flavor. Cant believe this is the first time I rated this classic.
