pobenohne (504), Northern Liberties, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 24, 2004 12 oz bottle in Montreal. Fin Du Monde, Jr.? Golden ale, lots of citrus and floral notes in the bouquet and flavor. Thinner body and less booze than FDM, probably better during a drinking session, but FDM is a bigger better brew. ToolHead (235), Frederiksberg, Denmark Jul 10, 2004 33 cl bottle. Served in Westmalle goblet. Beautiful, slightly hazy, deep gold color. Moderate head. Nice, fresh, citrusy aroma. Light-tasting and pretty fresh. The finish is a bit thin, although the alchohol brings a certain warmth. Airy mouthfeel. Good drinkability. rudolf (1734), Buffalo, New York, USA Jul 7, 2004 very juicy orange/yeast aroma. Dirty tan with no head. Flavor continues the aroma, yeasty and citrusy with that typicaly unibroue spiciness. Tart, raisiny finish jfm (1694), Holbæk, Denmark Jul 6, 2004 Hazy golden color with a white head. The taste is a fruity sweetness with notes of yeast and spices. wnp22 (682), Toronto (Roncesvalles Village), Ontario, Canada Jul 3, 2004 Tasted in Ottawa. Tasted from a standard Gatineau coner store with a really good selection of Unibroue, Le Cheval Blanc and Boreale. When first tasted I was sure the bottle was skunky. However, after ready the review, I might just be bang on. i read SilkTorks review about singed rubber bands - seems to be true, at least in my case. Aroma is of rubber, very strange. At first I thought it was close to orange rind, but rubber it is. Appearance is cloudy yellow with absolutely no head. Very very cloudy. Did I mention cloudy? Taste is yeasty, with an up-front alcohol presence, and very bready yeasty finish. steve23mj (273), Essexville, Michigan, USA Jun 25, 2004 Pours hazy yellow with slight whitish head. Flowery yet fruity nose with citrus tones. Mild malt sweetness and dry yet cleansing finish. Average for Unibroue. OKBeer (1159), Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada Jun 25, 2004 Hazy and cloudy golden colour with a thin, quickly diminishing fizzy white head. Lively carbonation. Light citrus and spicy aroma. Dry, yeasty, and bitter, but not much else. Prickly and fizzy mouthfeel. Decent, but easily the most disappointing Unibroue I’ve had. BuckNaked (1204), Tempe, Arizona, USA Jun 19, 2004 Bottle compliments of clarkvv. Somehow I completely missed rating this one last weekend. Pours golden yellow with a medium sized head that quickly dissapates. Smells of yeast, malt, spice, and hay. Has some malty sweetness to it, yeast, spices and citrus notes. Just a little too watery and thin. Still, this beer is pretty good.
