Unibroue Eau Bénite

Brewed by Unibroue (Sapporo)
Style: Abbey Tripel
Chambly, Canada

33cl t.h.t. 02-02-08 Bottle came floating from overseas, it took a while to get here. Head vaporizes into thin air. Dark golden, sweet triple. Hops not very present, slightly off present after taste. Far over the top. A pity. My appetite for old beers diminishes every old beer I drink.

The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass is very zippy. First gulp is washy, but becomes better to the end. Nice yeasty and dry, prickly and a bi scratchy finish. Not bad!

[bottle--thanks Tico] Strong spicy with some banana, white grape, and yeast. Hazy, orange-copper with lasting off-white blanket. Spicy black pepper as part of the Unibroue house/yeast flavour. Dried fruits and some banana. Medium to light body, moderate carbonation, sweet and spicy finish.

bottle - (asheft) Hazy orange beer with thick brown head. Fruity aroma like banana and peach. Strong and fruity flavour.

Not as good as their La Fin Du Monde . : Its an authentic take on the style, with their own in house yeast character ,that’s a customary signature. Malty, dry and spicy-just like most Tripel ales. fruity (apple ,orange peel) in a dry ,floral kick. Some yougut vibez in there .

Dégusté avec frech tickler le 22 novembre 2006. Drank in a tulip glass. Nice amber body. Normal white head. Nice hoppy aromas, coriander, oranges, bread, alcohol, spices, pears on a nice background of good cork. Good balance between the sweetness, bitterness and sourness. Good carbonation on a good caramel background. Thick to the palate, alot of body. This was a 2004 750ml bottle, this beer ages nicely and i wouldn’t have any issue having it age longer.(8,4,9,5,17)= 4.3 Dégusté dans un verre de duvel et acheté à la SAQ car cette bière est vendu exclusivement à cette endroit. De couleur ambre au reflet caramélisé avec un dépôt flottant comme du poivre avec une belle mousse tenace. Une odeur de coriande, de pelure de banane, de levure et de maïs en crême. Un goût de caramel, de citron, un peu boisé en bouche avec un bonne amertume. Un soupçon de gingembre et de thym enveloppe le sucré et l’alcool en synergie. (7,4,8,3,15) = 3.7

A personnal favorite, in Quebec hard to find elsewhere than in SAQ Selection. Citrus and floral aroma with a beautiful golden unfiltered beer appearance with some yeast particules that do not seem to fall into bottom. The taste is absolutely amazing. There’s a butterscotch divine sweetness dominating a complexity of layers of fruits like orange and surely others. A beer worth the right glass and temperature. Let it warm up. It will do the same for you.

Una buona tripel, molto in stile belga, molto in stile belga che non graffia, molto una tripel belga indifferente, però canadese in stile belga quindi meglio che belga indifferente ma tutto sommato se fosse belga sarebbe indifferente.
