Poured La Fin Du Monde
La Fin Du Monde
In the French-speaking heart of Quebec, Unibroue has long been a master of its craft, bringing the rich, complex traditions of Belgian monastic ales to North America. They are pioneers of "bottle conditioning," a meticulous process where a small amount of yeast and sugar is added to the beer before bottling. This creates a natural secondary fermentation, resulting in a delicate effervescence and a flavor profile that continues to evolve over time.
La Fin Du Monde—"The End of the World"—is their masterpiece, a name that honors the intrepid explorers who believed they had reached the edge of the earth when they first discovered the Americas. It's a beer of beautiful contradictions: a strong golden tripel, yet it drinks with a subtle grace. It pours with a champagne-like brilliance, releasing an intoxicating perfume of spice, fresh-baked bread, and a whisper of fruit. On the tongue, it’s a dance between honeyed sweetness and a gentle, peppery spice, with notes of orange peel and coriander that linger on a clean, dry finish. It’s a beer that invites quiet reflection, a journey of flavor that, much like those old-world explorers, takes you to a place both familiar and profoundly new.
