La Fin Du Monde
Unibroue
La Fin du Monde was developed through 18 months of research on a unique strain of yeast originating from Europe. It is brewed in honor of the intrepid European explorers who believed they had reached the “end of the world” when they discovered North America ‘the new world’. This triple-style golden ale recreates the style of beer originally developed in the Middle Ages by trappist monks for special occasions and as such it was the first of its kind to be brewed in North America.

A - 12 oz bottle poured into a tulip glass. A pretty cool graphic on the front label, classy foil covers the cap. I like how on the back it has several graphics indicating that they use natural ingredients, bottle conditioning, and also which glassware to use. All those things promote beer literacy - something that i always support!
The beer pours like velvet. It's cloudy light amber color and forms a nice thin layer of head that is persistent. Only some lacing, but it bubbles a little after every sip. There's an "it factor" to the look of this beer. It's a nice light amber color, but no light gets through. You can't see bubbles moving through the glass, but you can tell they are making their way up to the top. I could go on - it's an attractive beer.
S - You can smell the beer before you even put your nose up to it. The initial aroma lasts for quite some time - an enticing mix of fruity yeast, dried fruits, alcohol, some buttery diacetyl notes, and maybe a touch of funk. Intoxicating!
T - Tastes even better than it smells. All of the above but more intense. Just delicious.
M - Very smooth when swirled over the tongue. A little hot, but I don't mind it one bit. You just want to keep drinking it to get the smoothness back!
O - An easy go-to beer that I've had many times. I don't buy this as often as I should, because I'm always trying new beers. After I discovered Chimay, this was kind of the "next beer" to continue expanding my horizons. Maybe not for "everyone," but it should be! Highly recommended. If you know someone who loves beer and has not tried this - help them fix that situation.

Picked a can of this up from downtown grocery in Wausau, WI before heading home today. I was instantly drawn to the beautiful color of this can. The smell is really pleasant, but the taste really threw my off at first. To me, it initially tasted like green olives, but as I got used to it, it tasted more like a hefeweizen. Overall a really good, hard hitting beer that will sneak up on you.

Pours a bright orange - gold with lot of head and lacing, be ready with that glass! Tastes like funk (horse blanket), banana, clove, a little pepper, spicy, dry. Not quite as good as Westmalle but it’s a very good beer and the price is right, cheers!
