Unibroue Don de Dieu

Brewed by Unibroue (Sapporo)
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Chambly, Canada

Bottle. Hazy yellow-orange color with a white head. A light fruit, candy, and spice aroma that is quite enjoyable and yearns to get drunk. A lively mouth full with a sweet candy and fruit flavor that may include banana and peach and finishes with a yeastry dryness. Most flavorful wheat beer I have tasted.

bottle @ Coles Buffalo NY. Great beer. Hefe features with a Belgian yeast twist. Golden colored. Creamy, clove. great wheat beer. One of my new favorites

75cl corked bottle. Poured out a hazy yellow and ?green? colour. Both the aroma and the flavour were oddly sweet for a strong ale. not bad, different.

(Stockholm Beer Festival 2007) Bottle. Hazy aple yellow color, white head. Citrus and orange aroma, ueasty and floral notes. Citrus flavor, some malts, some hops, orange and some other fruits, yeasty notes.

12 oz twist off cap. Big sweet aroma and a pour that is swirling hypnotizing. Gunk on bottom that should be taken advantage of. Hazy off yellow color. The appearance and aroma excels. Strong alky wheat beer taste. Smooth but it certainly is letting you know that it is more than just ’beer’. Low carbonation, coats mouth and is a bit creamy. Finish is somewhat alky at times, but it’s tuff to hide 9%. More like a strong wheat beer. I’m not good enough for this brew.

I normally have a bit of a tough time with some of these spicy ales, but this worked well. Maybe it was the age (2005), but it is more likely just a well made beer. Spice was additional in the flavour and not the focus. Texture was more viscous, but not unappealingly so. I’d drink this again if it was available to me.

341ml bottle - pours cloudly golden/apricot with a fluffy white head. Aroma is of orange, lemon, white wine, some coriander, with a trace of alcohol. Flavour is very bright, spicy, with cloves, and citrus. Sweet. The white wine character remains in the flavour, but less so than in the aroma. Yeasty. Everything is balanced very well. Mouthfeel is wonderful, classic Unibroue - lively carbonation, but perfect. Like drinking velvet. I’ve actually been waiting quite a while to try this beer...don’t know why I haven’t until now. Lovely.

Pours a gold (slightly orange) with a good white head. Aroma of citrus, floral, banana, and spice. Flavors of fruit, banana, belgian yeast, spice, and a bit of citrus. Quite enjoyable, a nice golden strong ale, which is expected from unibroue.
