Unibroue La Fin du Monde

Name:  La Fin du Monde
Brewery:  Unibroue
Style:  Abbey Tripel
Location:  Chambly, Canada
Alcohol:  9%

Quotes:  "Fuck. Is this good?"  "This tastes like banana peels dipped in motor oil but I might like it"

Aroma:  7/10, Rich smells of fruit, namely banana
Appearance:  2/5, Dull dark color, thick head.  A little murky and unattractive
Taste:  6/10, Full of many different flavors like banana and caramel with a bit of a toast and jam kick
Palate:  5/5, Good mouth feel.  Thick beer with full body.  Like Jennifer Lopez is in your mouth.
Overall:  20/30

In Closing:  My beer palate is probably undeserving of this beer.  I can tell it's good. I can tell it's appreciated by beer lovers.  I'm not in love with it but perhaps with a more refined palate, I can be.

Good for:  Pouring over pancakes.

Mythos

Name:  Mythos
Brewery:  Mythos Breweries
Style:  Pale Lager
Location:  Sindos, Greece
Alcohol:  4.7%

Quotes:  "I expected worse"

Aroma:  4/10, Light malt, light hop.  Light beer, what'd you expect?
Appearance:  3/5, Tall white head, clear golden pour.  Like piss.
Taste:  5/10, Not overly flavorful but what's there tastes good.
Palate:  3/5, Medium body, mildly fizzy
Overall:  15/30

In Closing:  A light beer from across the pond typically tastes better than any light beer you'll find mass marketed in the states and this one is no different.  The light hint of malts on the back end of it are very tasty.  The kind of beer you could chug in the hot sun and then throw up on a roller coaster.

Good for:  Tricking someone into drinking piss.
