Picked this up a couple of weeks ago and am just now getting around to sampling it. It's always good to try another Unibroue as they have all been so damn good to me so far. Poured from the bottle into a pint glass (yeah, I need to do dishes as all of my tulips are dirty). Appearance: A nice pour brings about an appearance that is light and coppery around the outside and holds a golden honey core; body is hazy and shows amazing carbonation; the head is thick, full and fluffy and starts at over 2 figners and slowly, very slowly, dwindles to a thick and full skim on top. Smell: A very nice blend of wheat and yeast, combined with light notes of spices; there is a slightly bitter hop presence in the nose that is very subdued and brings about a nice balance to the sweeter aspects from the yeast. Nice and strong, no need to pull too hard on the nostrils to get a nose-full of this beer. Taste: Yeast is the dominant flavor here and comes across like a sweet tropical fruit; slightly wheaty aspect combined with the flavorful spices adds a nice edge to an otherwise very smooth flavor; the slightly bitterness in the nose is all but absent in the mouth. Mouthfeel: Very smooth overall, even though the carbonation is especially strong, it comes across in an unobtrusive way; body is nice and has a slightly drying effect as well as leaves a mild coating throughout. Drinkability: Quite high. This beer is super-flavorful, not especially heavy and only has an ABV 5.5% - really hard to go wrong with this. It's great on a warm summer day and I'm sure it'd be nice on a cold winter night as well.
