FROTHINGSLOSH (1961), GREENSBURG, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 11, 2005 Updated: Feb 10, 2006I have been drinking this beer for 5 years now. It is one of my staples and my beer fridge is never without a couple of bottles of this one. Even before my all consuming passion for good beer took hold I was drinking this one and their Trois Pistoles. I can not believe it has taken me this long to sit down and rate one. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this fine brew pours an opaque bright orange color with a large white head. The aroma is strong and has a strong yeasty element and notes of pear, apples and spice. The mouthfeel is thick and the flavor is strong with sweetness. There are strong yeasty tastes and ripe fruit - pear, apple and maybe a hint of apricot. There is a mild dry spicy finish that is stark contrast to the sweet beginning and middle. The 9% alcohol is well hidden in this beer. In short this is a fabulous beer and one of my dear favorites.

10/10 iambeer (255), Ontario, Canada Mar 18, 2005 Exciting is one adjective to describe this wonderful beverage.One drink and the taste seemed to wake the palate after so many boring beers. Try it, like it, love it. Cheers. DeadGuyFrank (347), http://westchesterbeer.com, USA Oct 30, 2007 Abbey Tripels are my favorite and La Fin Du Monde is another reason why....exquistely hoppy and yeasty...ripe fruit and spicy, a little bit of cinnamon and clove taste in the back of the throat. Well carbonated and balanced. AaronBradley (7), Toronto, Ontario, Canada does not count Aug 23, 2005 Golden and divine. A treat that I can now get it at several downtown Toronto pubs. C’est What and others... destroye7 (299), Melbourne, Australia Oct 25, 2005 Great clean taste. High Alcohol. Excellent beer to have with a nice steak. bheil (1), Ft. Thomas, Kentucky, USA does not count Jul 19, 2007 Once every few months, I treat myself to this fantastic beer. This is such a refined beer that my wife and I drink it out of wine glasses, just as it was served to us at the brewery in Montreal. My very favorite! Brewkowski (6), Charlotte, North Carolina, USA does not count Jan 29, 2009 Since I have started drinking beer, out of everything I’ve had, this has by far become my favorite. So consistently good, I keep coming back to it. Poured from a 12 oz. brown bottle into a regular pint glass. Smells of yeast and fruit. Brilliant reddish-orange color with thick, frothy white head. The mouth feel is full, but alcohol is not dominant, if even noticeable, which is surprising for a beer with 9%. It tastes yeasty with hints of sweet fruits and a slight but brilliant bite from the hops to balance it out. Just indescribable. So much going on in this beer. Perfection in a glass.
