Jul 14, 2008 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.

Jul 13, 2008 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.

Jul 13, 2008 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).

Jul 12, 2008 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.

Jul 3, 2008 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
