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.

Golden with a fine head. Rather fruity aroma with spice from the yeast, and some alcohol. Sweet, fruity flavor with a nice full spice background that adds plenty of interest. Warms at the end. Tasty.

Bottle, 75cl corked, at RBNAG -07. I tend to appreciate the beers from Unibroue, and this one is no exception. It’s not up there with Trois Pistoles and La Fin du Monde, but it’s a fine beer. It pours a clear golden body with some floaties and an off-white head. Some mould, lots of fruityness and a hoppy touch in the aroma. Hint of alcohol as well. Sweet and mouldy in the mouth, fruity as well, and with a little alcohol burn. Warming, full mouthfeel. As already mentioned, nice! Rating: 6-4-7-4-14-3.5. 071103
Bottle, 75cl corked. It pours a light unclear body, dark golden in color and with a small, off-white head. Fruity, cellary aroma with some spiced hints. A touch of alcohol blends in. Fruityness, some maltyess, sweetness, spice notes, dark sugar, cellar and alcohol in the flavor. Full-bodied, lighlty warming and with pleasant carbonation. It’s certainly starting to get a little old, but I still like it. 111030

750ml bottle @ RBNAG’07. A bit cloudy golden body with a medium off-white head. Aroma is sweet malt, alcohol and light overripe fruit almost a bit fusty. Flavor is sweet malt, warming alcohol and a bit spicy. Strong and harmonic, very pleasant. Not to complex.

Sampled bottle, RBNAG 2007 in Grimstad. ABV was 10%. Pale golden colour, floaties in the bottle. Moderately spicy aroma, a bit "unfresh". Nice flavour, spicy. Warming mouthfeel.
