Commercial Description:
Dernière volonté (French for "Last Will") is a mix of Belgian and English brewing traditions. Complex flavours of hop flowers and spicy, fruity esters from our belgian yeast are perfectly balanced with the robust flavours and aromas of malt. The finish is commandeered by an assertive aroma from dry-hopping.

Bottle. Golden amber beer with a nice off-white head. Floral aroma with some nice yeast and a bit of fruitiness. Yeasty, floral, bready flavor. Medium body. Pepper and a yeasty breadiness lingers.

12 oz. twist off bottle. I fricking HATE twist offs. Hey Montreal, buy some decent bottles, you cheap bastards! No freshness date seen. Poured out a hazy yellow color, with a sticky white head. Aromas are of Chicago Peace roses, very floral, and perfume like. Some burnt yeast notes along with rotten pears round out the aromas. Flavors are of sweet malts, rotten pears, burnt yeast. Medium mouthfeel, OK body. Nothing to write home about though, unless you like cheap twist off bottles.

Tasting - Perfect Pour - Hazed gold, creamy white head. Floral banana and soft peppered coriander aromas ride undercurrents of grassy yeasty pear tones. Spiced fruity wheat-like flavors mingle with hints of sugared bread and earthy grass. Very well balanced from start to finish. Medium bodied, fizzy carbonation, light peppery sweet finish. A very nice summer brew....

Pours a hazy pale orange wheat color with a frothy, thick white head. Pretty nice nose of wheat, perfumy (light) spices and pungent hops, a large presence of Belgian candy sugar and a very pleasent and enticing Belgian yeast aroma. Medium thickness, frothy, wetting the palate instantly, it’s a delicious, light and fluffy yeast that works so well in this one... a touch of citrus and fruity hops and you have a damn nice beer.

Bottle from SL. Poured a pretty golden color, fairly clear (for a Belgian) with some haze, lots of carbonation on display, generous head, and good Belgian-esque lacing. The aroma was grassy, wheaty, fruity esters, spices. Flavor followed the aroma, bananas and cloves the fruit and spice, finishing clean with the grass making for a nice finish. Came across like a Strong Golden in malt, flavor depth, sweetness. Was expecting a lighter and dryer Belgian Ale, although this was nice.

bottle. Poured hazy golden with a huge white head that persists until the last sip. Lemongrass and wheat aromas up front, with some clove and hops. Wheat, yeast, and citrus flavors give way to earthy hops. Dry, mildly astringent finish.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy peach color, with a big fluffy white head. Very sticky lacing. Very inviting. Cider farmhouse aromas, with hazy mango, clove, and floral hops come through nicely. Malty texture on the tongue, with flavors of spicy wheat and grain. Nice hoppy finish. Dry, drinkable, and very refreshing.
