29/100) Unibroue Gold 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.

Ephemere, Don De Dieu, Maudite

And we return for another week of Unibroue. After having done a silver round and this week a gold round of their beers, I really wish they had a bronze tier as well. I will definitely be searching out more of their drinks, as well as periodically having another Ephemere. It's just so delightfully  transient.

Ephemere) Every time, I have one of these, the taste is slightly different. This time I think I got more of the apple flavor. However, some of the other times, there has been a stronger yet delightful sourness. I wonder what it will be like next time. ☆☆☆☆

Don De Dieu) The flavors are rich and hearty like wheat toast or raisin bread. It has a rather thick  mouth feel, and if I tried to peg the roasted flavor, I'd say "chestnut." Lastly, this one was very cloudy. Perhaps it's just me, but there's also this touch of flavor that reminds me of nigori sake, the really cloudy kind of sake. To me at least, this beer easily lives up to its name, "God's gift." ☆☆☆☆

Maudite) My brother and I thought it funny that we both recognized something like "hint of marachino cherries." It's even more funny when you know that the beer's name means "the damned." There are a lot of forces at work in this belgium-style beer making it hard to peg down, but though it wasn't my favorite Unibroue, I still liked it. ☆☆☆
