la fin du monde

...or in English 'the end of the world' , brewed in Canada by Unibroue - www.unibroue.com/products/fin.cfm this is a triple fermented Trappist style beer.

It pours clear and light into the glass with a small head that quickly fades. It has a very delicate, almost unbeer like smell, seeming quite fruity at first.

At first sip you are instantly hit by a myriad of tiny bubbles making it almost champagne like. It isn't particularly tart, but has hints of spices and malt. As a triple fermented beer it carries an alcohol content of some 9% - not to be drunk on an empty stomach. It does make a nice dinner beer, it's light but definite taste and effervescence washing down food nicely.
