Poured from the bottle. It has a light, fizzy head that dissipates quickly. The aroma is light and sweet. The beer tastes like it appears. It is bubbly and sweet with a mild aftertaste.

A slightly hazy golden pour with a one-finger tall white head that was dense and produced nice lacing. The aroma was buttery and malty with light spices and a hint of citrus and yeast. The flavor was a mix of malt, light yeast, some spice and more butter. A touch of citrus. The mouthfeel was medium in body and almost slick. Good but not the best I’ve had from Unibroue.

Aroma of spices, clove, with yeasty smell present. White head typical of belgians blondes which leaves quickly. Golden orange and cloudy. Lots of carbonation, good crisp bite. Tastes like spices with slight touch of lemon / citrus. Very good.

Pours a gold/ light orange color, slightly cloudy, with a carbonated head that disappears after a short while. Aroma of yeast, citrus, and a light musty smell. Flavor of citrus and spices, with a light hint of vanilla in the finish. Chest warming alcohol and good carbonation.

Nice cloudy copper pour from the bottle with a large white head. Apple and spice scents. Sweet flavor that finishes bitter and dry. Doesn’t taste like a 9%. Drinkable medium body, but a bit too sweet. Gets better as it warms.

From the 750ml bottle. Great aroma, fresh, and citrus. Flavor is very similar, spices, and citrus fruit. Strong yeast flavor. very drinkable. Another great 9% beer from Unibroue.

Bière embouteillé le 1 janvier 2007 et vieilli dans mon cellier et dégusté à la température de 10 degré celcius dans un verre de fin du monde. De couleur pêche foncé ambré avec peu de mousse et léger dépôt dans le verre. Senteur de sucre brun, agrume, pêche, meringue, yogourt au pêche, fraise, pomme et madère. Un peu de mucade, de thym et de canelle subtiles confèrent à cette bière une jouissance olfactive. Un goût: bien balancé, bien gazéfié et d’une aisance hors du commun. Un léger goût de muscade, de sirop d’érable, d’orange, de mangue, légèrement aigre avec un goût minime d’alcool laissant plutôt les ingrédients travailler sur mes papilles. Je ne pourrais expliquer mais aujourd’hui ce divin liquide mérite le nom de don de dieu. La bière agresse plutôt mon palais, mes gencives et mes papilles dans le bon sens du terme. Je suis bouche bée, il ne me reste qu’à dire que je vie un moment exceptionnelle de plénitude.(9-4-9-5-19)= 4.6 Partagé avec french tikler, pyrozoid et agaguk. Boueille de 750ml acheté à l’été à la trappe à fromage à plaisance et millésimé le 10 mai 2004. Apparence jaune ambré avec un petit voile orangé avec moyennement de mousse et un bon dépôt de levure en suspension. Arômes madérisé avec une légère senteur de liège, de pêche et abricot avec une touche acidulé de pomme verte. L’alcool n’est pas présente ou presque mais le goût est principalement une gelé d’abricots séchés avec une touche salé et de gingembre. Une bonne gazéfication et rondeur en bouche.(8-4-8-4-16) = 4.0

A - Best by 11-30-07, Poured into a Unibroue Trois Pistoles glass, nice cloudy yellow color, nice carbonation, big white foamy head which lasts a few mintues, some lacing afterwards. S - Scents of yeast, citrus, and some spices. T - The taste if tangy, slightly bitter, with a dry finish. Alcohol content is hidden very well. M - Medium body, lots of carbonation on the tongue. A very nice well rounded brew. D - Very drinkable. Will definitely buy again.
