Josh’s translation of the French description: La Fringante is a deluxe, triple-fermented beer born of a unique strain of yeast which gives it an unexpected finesse. A champagne-like effervescence, its vigourous presence in the mouth underlines its markedly strong personality of balanced flavours of spices, malt and hops.

Well balanced trippel, if a little on the light side. Coriander, a decent level of Belgian yeast. Pours golden with good head and lacing. Finishes with perfumy sweetness. Soft carbonation. Light booze in finish. Nice if not super original. Bottle.

Aroma is banana and spices, especially cinnamon and clove with a bit of pepper and nutmeg. Relatively complex aroma, average strength. Appearance: Hazy straw, with nice thick and sparkling head lasting quite long. Not a lot of lacing. Taste: Attack is sparkling and very spicy. We find notes of banana, cinnamon, clove, orange and nutmeg. Typical Abbey style, very spicy. So sparkling that it almost numb the mouth. Spices are all over and tingling the tongue. Malt is also giving a good base with notes of caramel and vanilla. A tasty beer with a good flavor complexity.

341mL bottle, pours a cloudy pale orange with a small off-white head. Aroma of orange peel skins, citrus, loads of Belgian yeast, more citrus peel, and a bit of apple skins. Flavour of apple skins, loads of Belgian yeast, citrus peel, more citrus and a tad of candied sugar. Fruitier and sweeter than La Fin du Monde. Complex and yeasty, tasting very signature Unibroue. Not as amazing as La Fin du Monde, but excellent nonetheless and quite complex.
