Pours honey colored with a quickly dissipating white head. Faint aromas of banana and champagne with no appreciable hop bouquet. Tastes like pear and grape with a pleasantly astringent finish. Medium body.

12 oz. bottle pours a cloudy golden with beautiful head which reduces quickly to a tight white cap with minimal lacing. Smells like sunshine and dandelions, with a front palate of lemony-citrus, middle palate of clementine and corriander and a finish of yeasty sparkle. Sweet but not overly cloying. I can certainly see why it’s called the "Gift of God." For me it’s perfectly reminiscent of a crisp spring day.

Slight sweetness to the aroma, along with the standard Unibroue spice element. Hints of banana, wheat, and yeast are in there as well. It pours a cloudy orange with a big fluffy white head, that fades to about half a finger floating on top. Some orange notes in the flavor, as well as the Unibroue yeast spiciness again. The alcohol is amazingly well hidden, and I wonder to myself how long will it take for the Unibroue yeast notes to fade out in a cellar.

Beautiful, hazy, golden with a huge, but quickly disappearing head. The aroma has notes of fruit, sweetness and a hint of yeast. The flavour is initially very sweet, but I gradually get used to it. It has notes of light fruit, but in a heavy way, I find peach, banana, some coriander and citrus, mostly in the finish. The alcohol isn’t present and It’s a nice beer.

Apple juice on the noste- appearance is of apple juice color. Carbonation is more subdued than other Unibroue offerings like La Fin du Monde. Taste- apple, spicy with the classic unibroue yeast flavour. A solid offering from Unibroue, just not quite up there with there flag ships like La Fin Du Monde.

Pours cloudy yellow with slight white head; smooth aromas of fruit and yeast; very pleasant and not too strong; flavors are equally soft, but in the good way as it drinks very smooth

Pours a fuzzy looking light brown with a smallish white head. Aroma a good bit cidery, and a bit malty. Flavor is an explosion of apples, pears, yeast, pepper and a tad of alcohol. Aftertaste quite like cider. Does Unibroue do nothing but Belgians?
