28/100) Unibroue Silver Round

I have set myself the goal to review three beers or ciders every week for 100 weeks. I will be learning about beer and ciders more as I do this, and if I am successful in this venture, I will have tried about 300 unique drinks. If you're curious how I'm doing, the number in the post's title tells you which week I am in now.

Blanche De Chambly, Trois Pistole, La fin Du Monde

All I knew about Unibroue when I first found them was that I couldn't pronounce their names. Canadian made and French titled, these beers have distinct bottle art and great liquid content. I suggest visiting their website to learn about the legends behind each beer's name.They put a lot of thought into each one.

Blanche De Chambly) It seemed appropriate to start of with this one, which is apparently the first beer Unibroue produced. A fairly basic whitbier style, it lacks for nothing, but doesn't do anything too adventuresome. If you want to draw out and understand the coriander flavor, I suggest pulling out some ground coriander and trying it alongside the beer. You'll likely find, as I did, that the spice flavors vanish from the beer when you actually put raw coriander on your tongue. ☆☆☆

Trois Pistole) The name encapsulates a unusual story of bridled demon horses and a missing church stone. The beer, a nice strong dark ale, is ripe with dark fruit flavors. For me, the raisin was most prominent. ☆☆☆

La Fin Du Monde) To the ends of the earth! The frothiness of this beer got me the most. And it went great with Turkey leftovers. A very, very good tripel. The initial is light almost nonexistent, but the finish hits with a whole swath of spices. I couldn't distinguish them very well, but the mix was an enjoyable marrying of flavors. ☆☆☆☆
