Unibroue Don De Dieu

This is a 9.0% ABV triple wheat ale from Unibroue of Chambly, Quebec, Canada.  It is named after the ship that Champlain sailed up the St. Lawrence river in 1608.

The beer pours hazy, honey golden and orange.  There is a tall, fizzy head of thick white foam.  The aroma is toasted wheat, zesty, fruity, yeasty, with banana notes.  The taste is toasted wheat, slightly fruity and tangy, some sweet notes, banana, like a smooth, semi-sweet banana bread.  It has super fine and tingly carbonation from the bottle conditioning.  This is a very well done and tasty beer.  I am not a fan of yeasty, banana note beers, they just don't suit my taste.  So when I like one, I know it is very well done.
