Unibroue Eau Bénite

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

330ml bottle from the SAQ as part of a trade for a server cabinet The aroma is slightly sweet and yeasty pours a hazy golden amber The taste is clean and crisp would never have guessd this was a triple Very nice

33cl Bottle from De Schans. Cloudy golden orange colour, white head. Thick aroma of yeast and ripe sweet fruits. Flavour is full, ripe fruits, yeast, sweet, some alcohol, a little alcohol bitter finish. Fullbodied. Nice, but just a little above average.

Bomber, drank with Thanksgiving dinner in Montreal. Pours gold with a good sized white head; trademark Unibroue. In general, it was hard for me not to compare this Tripel to Unibroue’s other wonderfully spiced version, La Fin du Monde. All things considered, Eau Benite had expectations on it that would have been hard for any beer to live up to. Aroma featured yeast and fruit, perhaps pear. Flavor was a mildly spiced, yeasty mixture with biscuit, clove, and light banana. Finished with slight alcohol bitterness and some fruit. Decent, overall, but I wouldn’t recommend this offering to a less seasoned Unibroue drinker.

Dark orange colored with hazy appearance. Little white head. Orange, yeast, spices dominate this aroma, some dried fruits also here with mild alcohol. Some Sahti-like spicy-fruitiness also comes up, still not distracting anyhow. Medium to full bodied. Flavor is also rich with fruits and spices, yeast lasts in aftertaste with mild acohol and maybe hints of added sugar. Good Belgian styled spiced brew.

Bottled 33cl. Hazy orange. Off white head, average size, good retention, nice lacework. The nose is of apricots, walnuts, alcohol and seaweed. Some marmite and vitamin tablets sneaking in. Alcohol too present in the taste. Metallic. A lot of walnuts, apricots and pumpkin showing up. Sweet. Low bitterness. Seaweed sneaking in. A bit cloying after a few sips. Full bodied. Marmite, pumpkin and apricots in the finish. Not a good Unibroue. A really bad Abbey Tripel.

Bottle 341ml. @ home.
Unclear medium orange color with small body particles, and with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is light to moderate malty, caramel and keller notes, spicy, moderate yeasty. Flavor is moderate sweet (fruit sweetnes) with a average to long duration. Body is medium to light, texture is oily to watery, carbonation is soft to lively. (290608)

Deep golden, with dark yeast sediment swirling to eventually settle. Giant merangue of a head. Sweet aroma of dried straw and pears-in-syrup. Sweet palate as well, malty, with a yeasty fruit essence, but otherwise little complexity really. Not my favourite from this excellent brewery.
