Rated while drinking: Pours a clear apple juice color with a big foamy head that completely disappears! Lots of bubbles too. Smells of fruits and faint flowers. A bit of yeast background too. Very perfumy, but good. Flavor is much stronger than the aroma leads on. Lots of fruity esters with a cider-like aftertaste. Rich and complex! Nicely carbonated, slick on the tongue and mouth, with a tad bit of dryness and alcohol burn at the end. Definitely a sipper, but very refined. Trademark Unibroue does it again. A very excelled beer that anyone can appreciate.

Pours a beautiful orange yellow with a nice fizzy head. Aroma has tons of citrus and flowers. Flavor is more of the same, very orange-y. A really great refreshing beer. I’ll drink this any day.

12 oz bottle from Unibroue 8 bottle sampler. Pour is hazy yellow orange with a decent white head. Aroma of spicy sweetness - nutty and yeasty. Taste is a touch sour initially, then the tart earthy sweetness takes over. Finish is yeasty with some heat. Really nice full body.

Top of the bottle reads 2005. From notes on 12/6. Pours a hazy straw/amber with a white head. Nose is like a bright lemon. Has the potential to be overbearing, but does not (my definition of a bright lemon). Flavor is strong and light at the same time. Pungent sweetness combined with a heavy yeast flavor. Overall it is very smooth and even, yet powerful. Feel is slightly thin with a good carbonation on it. Extremely drinkable. Perhaps a bit on the sweet side, and too much so for some. But still. Extremely well crafted.

12oz bottle from La Trappe A Fromage in Gatineau. Pours a cloudy light beige with mounds of head. Yeasty aroma, but not as strong as some other Unibroue beers. Flavour also feels a bit restrained as compared to some of the other Unibroue upfront wallops. The spiciness is what is most noticeable about this brew, but the typical yeasty Unibroue flavours are not evident in their typical strengths. That can be OK, as some of the Unibroue beers taste somewhat similar, yet awesome, to me. This is an enjoyable beer, but I don’t think it offers anything better than Maudite or Trois Pistoles.

Very hazy yellow with fine soft white filling and lasing head. Aroma is of yeast, wheat, spices (cinnamon, nutmeg), & citrus. Good lacings. Silky smooth & filling palate. Perfectly carbonated. Light sweetness & light warmth. Alcohol is well hidden. Perhaps a bit too sweet - but def. a nice brew!

The label is right, this beer is a Gift of God for those who like the style. I was impressed with the yeasty malt flavor with a touch of fruit and spices, tasty beer.

cool label art work and in the Unibroue family, and in my opinion, much better than it’s brother beer, Trois Pistoles. great appearance, not too light, not too amber, a great in between color which begged me to drink it. Great looking, better tasting! the 9% didn’t hurt either!
