Fin du Monde has a cloudy, honey gold colour. It has lots of carbonation and is topped by a thick white head. It has a heavily yeasty aroma underscored with notes of sweet fruit. It has a malty, yeasty sourdough flavour, with a nice dose of apricot. The aftertaste is malty but drops off quickly. The substantial alcohol content is barely discernible, but I was certainly aware of it after I stood up.
This is a great beer: bold, complex, and potent. Personally, I find it a touch too yeasty and too potent to make Fin du Monde an everyday beer, but it's wonderful once in a while.
Rating: 8.5 out of 10.
