Cloudy pale yellow with a slowly diminishing white head. Aroma of fruit, toasted malt, brown sugar, coriander. Taste of fruit, vanilla, honey, pineapple, brown sugar. Grainy texture with a sweet finish. Malted yet balance, this is an interesting and decent offering from Unibroue.

Bottle. Pours a very cloudy peach blonde color with a fizzy white head. Nice aroma of fruit and sweet malt, bananas and spice stick out. Wonderful flavor, fruity and strong. Very good.

Spicy, fruity, and yeasty...this beer pours a yellow gold with a huge white head that diminishes quickly into a minimal ring. Minimal aroma given the flavor. Not the best by Unibroue.

Sampled at Pints for Pets. A really light golden color with a white head. Nose has a lot of malty brown sugar and dark fruit, despite its light color. Very surprising. Flavor is a mild yeasty fruit with a lot of toffee. Very sweet. Not really a whole lot of carbonation, and it is actually a little bit watery, but still really good. The alcohol in it has a nice warming sensation.

I had Don de Dieu from a 750mm bottle When I poured it I found it to be a cloudy, almost golden colour, with a tan head that atrophied within seconds. The aroma is fruity and yeasty. Tasted citric and sweet honeyish. highly carbonated and hides the 9% well behind fruit flavour.

Probably the best name for a beer I’ve ever seen, especially to say it loud. Weird fruity, kind of sweet smell, but pleasant. There are berries and other dark fruits, and alot of tropical lighter fruits. Overripe mango, something else weird. Alot of honey in the flavor, and mango again, almost too sweet but just enough bitterness to balance that. Very good offering, one of the best from Unibroue.

The aroma of this bad boy is somewhat earthy, definately a distinct smell. the appearance is somewhat of a dull golden. The flavor is very nice, coming on strong with a sweet and almost fruity flavor and then abruptly after about 10 seconds it diminishes. This brew does a fantastic job of hiding the burn of its 9% alc/ vol. However it lacks the palate complexity i personally have come to admire.

This brew pours a cloudy golden colour with a quickly rising white head, but it dissipates before you know it. The aroma is pleasent, bread orange and nectarines. Taste is semi sweet, wheaty and tropical flavors.
