La Fin Du Monde
Some beers have just evaded me as far as reviews are concerned. This is one of them, how I've managed not to review it before now blows my mind. 750 ml bottle into a tulip. (3 pours, the last of which was with yeast) Pours out a mostly clear golden shade (except the last pour, which was quite murky) with billowing off-white head. Lots of lacing on this one, mostly in globs. The aroma has a fair amount of yeasty funk, a lot of clove-like spiciness and some tart fruitiness. From the first sip, a lot of spice character. Clove and pepper really come to the fore. A lot of fruitiness in the middle, zesty with some green apple and slightly tropical flavor. There are definitely some herbal hops in there as well, along with dry, bread-like malt. The finish, especially on the last glass, had a pronounced yeast driven tang. Well-carbonated and spritzy, with a light to medium body. I sipped this one throughout the evening, never losing interest. I think it'd make a nice choice for entertaining and it would make a compelling beer choice for the wine drinker. Really fine stuff.
