In February 1994, after 18 months of research, Unibroue launched La Fin du Monde (the end of the world). It is a 9 percent alcohol, triple fermentation beer. This type of beer was originally developed by the monks of the Middle Ages to be served on special occasions. La Fin du Monde is a deluxe beer made by triple fermentation and a unique way of straining the yeast. This method produces an unexpectedly subtle flavour. With its champagne-like effervescence, it has a vigourous presence in the mouth, which accentuates its strong personality. Slightly tart, with the balanced flavours of wild spices, malt and hops, it belongs to the class of great Trappist beers and, in this regard, is a North American first. At meals, it can replace white or red wines and enhances the flavour of most dishes. This beer is brewed to honour of the great explorers, who believed they had reached the end of the world when they discovered America.

Tons of pressure behind the cork followed by tons of white foam in the glass. Nice lace work as it collapses. Smooth Tripper with a nice yeasty flavor to it. Definitely a keeper for a cellar.

Hazy golden color with thin white head. Aroma seems citrusy, banana and yeast. Taste is aided by high carbonation. I first taste bitter hops, some sourness, spice then candy sugar sweetness. Fruity flavors (banana mostly) linger. The flavors mix well resulting in an enjoyable experience.

12oz bottle
Appearance: Hazy yellow/golden with a nice fluffy white head, some lacing. Tons of bubbles coming up from the bottom, it looks like champagne.
Aroma: Sweet, yeasty, citrus and earthy
Taste: Yeast and malts, citrus and bready
Very refreshing beer. Crisp and clean, well balanced. I can’t taste any alcohol, be careful with this one. -

Bottle: Poured a orange copper with a huge white fluffy head, dissipated fast but remained thin on the top. Yeast and fruit nose that is strong. Taste is sweet fermented fruit with malt balance.

Big, pure white head with some scattered laceing. Hazey pale blonde color. Sulfury, yeasty nose, some breadiness also. Light/medium body. Big carbonation, spritsey. Soft malt flavors, fruity, some bubble gum notes with some coriander flavors too. Tart, dry finish. 9% alc. is well hidden. A nice big blonde ale, the end of the world? NAAAAAA, but i do like nice big blondes!

Bottle. Colour – light amber, slight haze, generous foamy white cap, good lacing. Aroma – spices, yeast, grains, and alcohol. Mouthfeel – Medium to Full Bodied, well carbonated. Flavour – citrus fruit, spices, yeast, and alcohol. The alcohol is not well hidden in this beer and that makes the score suffer.

Pours a hazy golden color with fluffy white head. Citrus, wheat, yeast, banana and clove aromas. Tastes as it smells, with yeast hanging around to the very end. The ample carbonation makes each mouthful tingle with its complex flavor profile. Alcohol is virtually undetectable, making this a potentially dangerous beer. Great stuff. Will need to try this in the summer, as it seems that it would be refreshing beer in the warmer months. New to the style, but I certainly understand why this beer is so highly regarded.

Pours hazy gold with frothy white head with decent retention and attractive lacing. Aroma is orange, honey, grass, spice. Evolves on the palate with lemon, coriander and biscuit notes joining the others. Satisfying mouthfeel, full but not filling, ebullient but not overpowering carbonation.

Opaque golden orange with small off-white foam ring. Orange, and mango aroma, some barley. Decent strong beer taste, again some soft fruits notes. Short aftertaste. (Houston 201408)

Have a glass ready to pour this sucker or you will be chugging it out of the bottle.i popped the top and didn't have a glass ready and it started foaming out of the bottle.I had a good head rush from the high abv by the time I got it poured in a glass. Now for my review, out of the glass it's cloudy and burnt orange in color. It taste like a Belgium beer not a beer from Canada. Very thick mouthfeel and very smooth withs tons of malt flavor.
