Unibroue Don de Dieu Short review. A- very light straw color with a lot of carbonation visible. S- smells a lot like applesauce T- a lot of apple/applesauce flavor with the typical Belgian wheat flavors like banana. Good spices lingering in the background. M- refreshing, good strong carbonation. O- pretty tasty. Not big on wit beers due to the yeast flavors, but this has a lot of apple flavors which was nice. Alcohol is very well hidden. -

It poured a dark golden color with a small white head. The aroma was of spice, bubblegum, lemon and some caramel. The taste was of wheat, caramel, bubblegum, lemon grass, candy sugar, coriander and other spices. Very light bodied and very drinkable.

Bottle purchased at BevMo in Redding, CA. APPEARANCE / THE POUR: Deep golden, hazy, very fizzy carbonation- almost BRUT. The head quickly collapses due to the carbonation / ABV. Meniscus is fast rising for an ale at 9%- that is sometimes a good sign. Moderate to light Brussels lace. AROMA / BOUQUET: Fruity esters, wonderful. TASTE: Excellent spices, classic Tripel flavors. Yeasty, almost a sourdough aroma- breathe deep- you’ll get it. PALATE: This is one of my favorite styles to drink- lively, fizzy, fills the whole mouth with that almost champagne-like fizziness. OVERALL: THIS IS one of the best wheat beers out there. Very complex and a very sophisticated ale. Not for the uneducated or faint of heart. this is one of those ales that creates good memories...

The beer is a bit hazy and light orange colored, with a half inch of white head that leaves a nice ring of lacing on the glass. The aroma is of yeast, fruit, malt, alcohol, citrus, spices. The flavor brings malty citrus, with a light warming alcohol presence in the finish. Sweetness is present throughout, though not overbearing. Some hop bitterness would be a nice juxtaposition. Medium bodied, with moderate carbonation. Lingering citrus and malt. The flavor offers less complexity than the aroma promised. Still, a tasty brew. This is fairly easy to acquire, as it’s seemingly everywhere. Not at the top of its class, yet worth a try. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 09-21-2011

UPDATED: OCT 31, 2012 Bouteille 341ml. Couleur jaune ambrée, semi-translucide, mousse blanche abondante et persistente, laissant une belle dentelle. Arôme de pomme, de levure, d’alcool et d’un peu d’épices. Goût de levure, sucré (miel?), agrumes, légère amertume, chaleur d’alcool légère et arrière-goût persistent. Carbonation élevée, corps moyen, un peu syrupeuse.

Perfect golden color with a frothy head. The spices give an amazing wheaty taste with a great aftertaste too. Light body with soft carbonation.

Starts citrus finishes malty , dry with a hint of dates. Good beer - will be buying ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Pours a hazy gold color with barely any lasting head. Aroma is strong and fruity yeast esters with hints of coriander and pineapple. Flavor carries over some of that pineapple aroma with a nice subtle sweetness to it and only the slightest bit of tart bitterness that comes with the carbonation. Very refreshing beer.

Bottle 750ml @ My 30th birthday tasting
Pours clear golden with a small off-white head. Aroma has notes of malt, yeast and dried fruits. Taste is medium sweet and light bitter with a long dried fruity finish. Body is medium to full, texture is oily, carbonation is soft.

An amber yellow with a big head that gives it this lemon meringue look. The aroma is sweet and strong, and the flavor is very good. The high ABV is apparent, and there’s a fruity mingling of bananas, apples and cream in the finish. I enjoyed this.
