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.

Bouteille: Poivre, citron, levure, pêches, houblon, mangue, tangerine; caractère rustique de la ferme et de la saison des foins; meringue; robe jaune orangée opaque; une bière extraordinaire!

En fût: Une bière extraordinaire encore une fois mais qui, à mon avis, perd un peu de sa splendide (et néanmoins accessible) sauvagerie... ?

Pours a bright golden orange with a one finger white head. Beautiful in a glass. The nose is very spicy and fruity, estery, mildly sweet, citrus rind. Flavor is yeasty, peachy, spicy waxy hop presence, orange/citrus rind. Palate is spicy and nicely carbonated.

Bottle. Pours golden, white head. Mild hop aroma, light notes of honey, orange. Flavor is simple and good. Very mild, delicate pale malt sweetness, followed by citrus hop flavors that build into an intense finish. Hopiness lingers. Balanced with some nuance. The more I drink, the more I absolutely love. Excellent.

Golden orangish in color, cloudy look, and has a pretty decent off white head. The smell is a little grass, spices, fruits, flowers, and yeast. The taste is a grassy hop, fruits, yeast, very belgian.

11.5oz bottle from grape & gourmet. pours a very nice hazy, yellow gold with tons of yeast floaties and a thin, white head with great lacing. aroma is pure belgian with notes of spicy clove and cinnamon, fruit notes of banana and melon, and bready, sweet yeasty notes backed by a bit of pepper. flavor is very good with citrusy notes of orange and lemon up front with sweetbread malts, caramel, and belgian spices on the back end. palate is medium bodied with solid carbonation and a dry, herbal hop finish with a touch of honey. overall, a very good hoppy belgian.
