Beer Review 9: Don DE Dieu by Unibroue


This Beer by Unibroue is now one of my favorite beers to come from outside the U.S. This beer is made in Canada.... who said nothing good come from Canada! The Don de Dieu is an Ale that is bottled at 9 % abv and can be bought in a 750 ml bottle or a four pack of 11.2 oz. The standard serving size for this beer is 9.4 oz and best served in a tulip. The price on this beer is definitely worth it. You can get the 750 bottle for about 7.50 to 9.00 dollars a bottle or the 4 pack for 11.99 to 13.99.  I enjoyed every sip of this beer, so much so I put down the whole bottle, which by the way is not recommended unless you want to feel quite tipsy. Another thing you need to know about this beer is that this beer is re fermented in the bottle. This beer makes a great year round beer and best served alongside a heavy dinner.

Color: pours a vibrant golden color. It really glows and looks beautiful in the glass. At top of this beer forms a 2 finger head that is a nice frothy white.

Nose: Sweetness and citrus with semi sweet malt. The scent of orange lemon zest. In the background of this beer you also get some notes of sweet bread and banana.

Palate: Nice and crisp with a gentle softness. Explodes with flavors and for the high alcohol content in this beer its not evident what so ever.

Finish: medium finish with an array of complexity and sophistication.

Rating: 91 out of 100
