341ml bottle at Rhino in Toronto. Thought there would be more head as a triple white but not so much. Small white head, cloudy yellow colour. Strong yeast aroma and yeasty citrus taste. Very similar to Fin du Monde. Does blend in the 9% very well.

12oz bottle. Best before Feb09. Biscuity malts. Rather estery with a pretty strong yeast kick. Finish is dry with some metallic banana alcohol coming through.

750ml corked&caged bottle. Pours a deep, very hazy, orange-gold with lighter gold highlights and thick, soapy-looking, white foam. The aroma is exotic and enticing: lemon and some spices, aromatic and bready malts that have some biscuit and cracker qualities, balanced by a subtle, funky grassiness. The flavor follows the aroma: light citrus zest and spices initially, followed by a very nice, distinct, maltiness. The ester profile is distinctly Unibroue (reminds me, in particular, of their Blanc de Chambly)- lovely notes of tart fruit and subtle phenols. The finish is dry and refreshing with a very light, (almost unnoticeable) flavor of ethanol and gentle warming quality, too. The mouthfeel is deceptively light in body (medium body, very light and dry for 9%abv) and vigorously carbonated - which lends a very pleasing tickle all over the tongue and also enhances the impression of dryness in the finish. Overall, a beautiful Belgian ale - basically an "imperial" version of Blanc de Chambly (at least that is certainly what it tastes like).

Pours hazy peach with modest white head. Aroma is quite strong- citrus and spice with typical and recognizable uniboue yeast strain. Flavor is of citrus- orange and lemon with both sweet and sour notes noticable. Palate is prickly, smooth and coating. Overall a quite enjoyable offering- a nice light belgian strong.

straw pour. light dissipating pour. classic Unibroue spiciness. Sweet citrusy taste. no alcohol taste, suprising for 9%.

My first Unibroue experience and i came away impressed i don’t know if its a Gift from God but the flavor of this beer is excellent poured a nice pale gold color with plenty of head not overpowering but a lot of citrus flavor and a very little hint of some spice .... hides the 9% very well not malty or hoppy very soft flavor a memorable brew
