Poured into a tall wine glass.

Appearance: Pours a hazy caramel brown with a two finger high manilla head. The head dissipates, so enjoy it while it's there. The beverage leaves light traces of lacing the edges of the glass. When held up to the light, it retains its haziness. I can see some carbonation bubbles in there. Overall, it's an intriguing beer to look at.

Smell: Fruit smell is the first thing that comes to mind when I smell this. I can detect apple mainly. There is also a floral characteristic that is quite pleasant. It reminds me a bit of potpourri. This is a quite a nice smelling beer, and it falls well within the Belgian style of beer.

Taste: Wow, there is a lot going on here. I am first greeted with an almost caramel malty sweetness, which gives way to a little bit of bitterness. This is followed up by a fruity, floral character, which is quite a transformation from the initial taste. The finish is strong, and leaves an aftertaste that only barely hits at the intense experience that this brew provides. A wonderful taste.

Mouthfeel: This is a little heavier than a typical Belgian, and less carbonated than some other varieties. Actually, this is probably the most balanced mouthfeel I have ever come across. Truly a joy to experience.

Drinkability: Man, it's hard to believe this is 8%. I could drink this all night while watching my favorite shows or listening to some great music. Each sip invites another one. I simply can't get enough.

Unibroue does it again! This is highly recommended, and I am having a hard time telling whether I like this or La Fin Du Monde better. This is darker and sweeter, while La Fin is crisper. I guess it depends on your mood. If you ever get the chance to try either, you absolutely must!

6th Feb 2013: in La Trappe, San Fransisco: sat in a dark area, so had trouble seeing the true colour of the beer, front label on bottle bright enough but my glass seemed to hold a dark orange brew within it, on top what looked like an off-white foaming crown.

Semi-sweet aroma with malts leading the way, with yeastiness and fruit esters just behind in strength.

The taste is a pleasant blend of biscuity malts and dark fruit flavours intermingled with yeast traces and some hop spruce hints. Very drinkable.

Body depth was fine and the alcohol sat nicely within the flavours.

I'm not usually a red ale type of person, but this beer can get one past that. It is a fine mix of hops and brandy like quality that make it a pure treat for the senses. The last time I had a Belgian style red ale this good was when I was in Belgium. The beer pours smoothly into your tulip ale glass with a substantial head and a bouquet of early sumer floral tones that whet the palate for its imminent arrival. A sip will not last long, as you will want to recharge your tastebuds posthaste and repeatedly. The colour, as you would expect, is on the red side of amber, but not crystal clear, nor too cloudy. As you can probably tell I liked this beer a lot and will search high and low for in on my many road travels. Frankly, I've had three different Unibroue beers over the past several days and they have all been brilliant.
