beer_name: Dernière Volonté
text: attractive orangey-golden color with great head retention and lacing. smells fruity, citrusy, herbaceous. bubblegum, lemons, apricots, and that strange "aspiriny" smell i get from sorachi ace hops (don't know if they are used here though). great smell. bitter up front, a juicy/fruity middle--oranges, citrusy hops. dry throughout. light on the tongue, smooth and tightly-carbonated. nice, dry, fruity, refreshing belgian blonde here. somehow, doesn't quite come together harmoniously. additionally, though i love dry beers (see de ranke, for example), there is a bit of an astringency here that needs smoothing out. still, i'd recommend it.
