La Fin Du Monde is a higher alcohol beer. It's a tripel that measures in at 9% ABV. The other Tripel I had was Golden Monkey by Victory, which I thought was a pretty good beer, but probably not something I'd want again and again. It was nice to try, but it probably ends there. Hopefully this can be a little bit of a different experience for me although the higher alcohol does scare me a bit.
A - Hazy golden orange. Fluffly head that dissipates rather quickly to about a 1/8" of foam. Can see all kinds of stuff floating around the beer. It looks very similar to a standard hefeweizen.
S - Kind of smells like chalk and flowers. A little bit of citrus hint to it also. Slight alcohol scent also.
T - Sweet. Very sweet. It's a very balanced beer. Fruit mixed with wheat, with some light hops. Coming from a guy that doesn't like the bite of alcohol, I didn't taste it at all which is very surprising based the ABV level. I don't taste a hint of the alcohol at all, which I love.
M - Medium carbonated and medium bodied. Starts off with a hard and crisp feel but smooths out rather quickly.
D - I feel that is has a very high drinkability which is bad because the alcohol will definitely sneak up on you and crush you. Could easily put this beer down in a few minutes, although I would recommend not too.
An overall pretty enjoyable beer. Even though I like the taste of it, it's not really my style of beer, so I probably wouldn't rush out to ever have it again which leaves me to only give up a thumb up.
Good beer though. Definitely one of the better beers I have had. I just don't like the idea of such a high ABV.
