Unibroue 15

Another lovely offering from Unibroue, rapidly becoming my favorite brewery. Lots of Belgian golden ale character, but more alcohol. Probably around 25 IBU’s. Spiced with coriander, in very small amounts, unless I am mistaken. Floral/perfumy aroma gives it away. Balanced flavors in this sneaky biatch.

Lots of great white head on a demure, clean, golden-yellow brew. Leaves plenty of lacing in the glass. Aromas are cold and vinuous at first, then give way to crusty bread, crisp apple, lemon and orange citrus, and herbal notes. Though the beer hides its alcohol well, there is a good amount of spice and astringency. Finish is caramel and malts. Flavor profile is soft and not very aggressive, but what is there is worth tasting.

Cloudy yellow-orange body, thick cream head. Aroma of fermented fruits- white grape, pear, etc., with caramels, bread, and spice. Sweet body with fermented fruits (again, white grape and pear, with hints of apple), bready, strongly estery with a heavy spice character. Heavy, syrupy body with a potent alcohol presence. Very nice.

Bu à Fourquet Fourchette (Montréal), car ce la seule place au Canada que je peu en boire (750 ml). Couleur dorée peu claire, petit collet. Arome assé épicé, avec un peu de malte, avec un peu de malte. Goût assé prenoncé d’épice, malte riche et alcool réchauffant. Sensassion d’alcool que descent la gorge.

750ml bottle. Sweet, fruity aroma, tropical and sugary with notes of pear, melon, white grape, honey, doughy yeast and a light amount of spicy, peppery alcohol and lemony citrus, perhaps a hint of green apple as well. Light-medium golden color with tones of amber shining through, lightly hazy with a hugely frothy and lasting head subsiding to reveal thick sheets of rocky lace. Flavor profile is tart and fruity with a spicy yeast bite throughout and plenty of alcoholic tinges here and there, along with suggestions of pepper and a warming, estery finish that blends easily with the lingering, gently tart fruitiness. Effervescent on the palate and lightly syrupy with a decidedly full body. Very much in the style of a Strong Golden Ale, and very Unibroue.

murky orange body with a huge typical unibroue head. my nose grabbed a mix of belgian yeast,corriander,sage,pepper,with a small dusty finish that tickles the nose a bit.flavor is a mix of banana,spice,sugar,and belgian yeast.typical unibroue.

From 750mL Bottle. Very loud pop upon opening the bottle and gushes of foam flood my glass. Slightly hazy pour of lemony amber topped with a copious amount of soapy white head. Aroma of sourdough bread, orange peel, coriander, and a bit of musty yeastiness. Rich, almost syrupy mouthfeel with a milky cream-like carbonation. Pleasantly tasty flavors of spicy yeast, clove, and musty orange zest dance on my tongue. Some creamy banana notes in there as well, along with some fermented mango and sweet clover honey. Very classic, predictable Belgian ale flavors, complete with the slightly peppery yeasty smack - I like it. A little bit on the sweet side, but quite pleasing nonetheless.

Hazy yellow with a foamy white head. Spicy coriander and clove nose, some yeastiness. Flavor follows suit, adding a light fruitiness. Typical Unibroue hop profile. Solid.
