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?

Pours a light golden color with a small tight white bubbly head. There wasn’t any lacing on the sides of the trappist glass. The scents were of apples, pears and malt. The taste was very flat and thin, with a slight stale cider feel. There was a sweet, cloying after bite. I didn’t care for this beer too much.

750 mL bottle. Hazy yellow with fizzy white head. Aroma of pear, apple, banana, and yeast. Pear, orange, and clove with a dry peppery finish.

Opeque golden yellow with a short lived white head which leaves no lacing. The flavor is sweet and yeasty with a prominent spicy flavor I have yet to identify. Classicly Belgian. Hides the alcohol well.

Don de Dieu is a crystal clear coppery gold ale that is very sparkling. Its white head diminishes quickly and becomes turbulent. The aroma is light and of peach, white wine, black pepper, and something herbal. It is light-to-medium bodied and very dry. The carbonation is soft and fizzy. The flavor is suprisingly stronger than the light aroma. It is acidic, starts a little bitter and ens a little acetic. It has a lot of Pinot Blanc qualities. Not incredibly exciting, but a good sipper.

Bottle. Pours hazy yellow/orange with a tall, foamy white head. Aroma is full of banana, clove, a plethora of ripe fruits, and tart. Flavor is a great balance of strong hay, musty banana, juicy ripe fruit, acidic lemon tart, and alcohol warmth. The mouthfeel is medium, and the dry finish leaves you longing for another sip. Man, this was good.
