La Fin Du Monde
Twelve ounce brown twist cap bottle, with best by date clearly marked on back. Bright blazing gold, with a blossoming, tight white head. When the yeast is added it goes cloudy, & bright yellow, almost like a wit. The head takes on a much creameir look after the yeast pour. Bright punchy aroma, sweet & inviting. Its not as punchy after the yeast pour, but an earthy quality is added to the nose. A rather clean tasting ale. Straight forward malt sweetness, a touch of tart apple like flavours, & some pepper. A dry finish with a subtle but effective hop character. Some solvent flavour lingers. Some earthy / herbal flower qualities are added with the yeast. It also becomes more peppery. Medium bodied while still being somewhat soft, with pinpoint carbonation. Quite a nice Belgian strong pale ale. It features a refined sophitication that I enjoyed.
