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.

bottle from Raadhuskiosken, bornholm clear yellow, smooth white head, starts out large, but disappears quite fast. very nice belgian yellow fruity aroma, think beligan blonde, but also a little alc. aroma indicates a heavy beer. also some cellary notes and a faint note of citrussy/yeasty fruityness. flavor is yellow fruity, sweet, burning from the alc. The flavor just barely manages to deal with the high alc. %. comes off as a bit strong. If You like really strong belgian blonde beers this one is not bad.

Sampled from their 750ml brown bottle with cork. Pours a cloudy beige-amber colour with a medium white head and some great foam lace. Aromas are medium strength, from fruits to spices, to the special Unibroue yeast. Taste was also spicy, like corriander, but quite smooth. Alcohol is felt at first, but after the brew breathing, it is much better - the alcohol almost disappears. The aftertaste is hoppy. Not the best Unibroue, but pretty descent. Gets really good as it warms up.

Bottled. Hazy golden colour with mediumsized white head. Aroma is malts, some citrus fruits, yeast, spices and quite much earthy notes. Flavour is caramel malts, citrus fruits, yeast, spices and some mild wooden notes. Alcohol shows as a slight burning note. Overall a very nicely balanced Belgian Strong.
