#139 Unibroue - La Fin Du Monde
Unibroue is made in Canada not Belgium, I have more Belgian's for later. Unibroue leaves yeast in the bottles of their beer to allow for a natural carbonation. This can result in a cloudy beer is poured roughly, but it also allows for a beer than can age well.
The aroma of this beer is strong enough to be smelled when the glass is still at a distance to the nose. This beer has a very fruity aroma, with apple and melon flavors. The color is a light yellow that is very clear. The foam starts thick, but settles down to a light right, with bubbles coming from the sides.
The fruity esters from the aroma come through to the taste. Again with the apple and melon flavors, now there is also a hint of banana flavor. There is also some clove spice flavors to the beer that are well balanced against the fruitiness. The beer has a medium mouthfeel that is very foamy. The finish is very mellow and maintains all the flavors from the beer and a touch of bitterness. There is a slight alcohol taste present that blends in with the spice flavor.
This is a wonderful beer, lots of good flavors, and a nice finish. It might not be from Belgium, but it is a Belgian style beer. La Fin Du Monde might look like Bud Light when poured but the taste is anything but.
