Originally rated August 2005. Pours a deep amber colour with a nice creamy foam head. Retention is decent and lacing is minimal. Good mixture of roasted malt and nuts for the nose. The nuts come through in the flavour as well, with a mild bitterness in the finish. The mouthfeel is crisp. Pretty decent Irish red style.

draft - Pours clear deep copper with an off-white, lingering head. It has an extremely mild aroma. The flavor is sweet and grainy with a hint of caramel. It’s bubbly, light, and watery on the palate with a mild hop finish. It looks good and then it’s downhill from there.

Malts and caramel on the nose, both in small quantities. Boring amber colour, small head on top. Flavour is a tart nothingness with just a few minor malt hints. Dry finish. No flavour to speak of makes this beer very drinkable, and completely boring.

An amber beer with a nice orange head. The aroma is sweet spicy combined with notes of strawberries. The flavor is also sweet with primary notes of berries - but here it is raspberries, on a nutty background, which also gives it a nutty end.

2005 bottle at the Iguana Cafe in Montreal, 6/5/05 with Muzzlehatch and tiggmtl. Pour is a caramelly-auburn, dark beige tints on the sides, with a small off-white head that sits at cover, providing little to no lacing. Aroma has hazelnuts, toasted grains and light orange rind. Also some dry, plasticy/stale bread notes, slightly sourish. Flavor begins with a sweet caramel malt, hints of dry raisins and cherries from the yeast. Bits of astringency from the toasted grains. Problems include a stale bread flavor, hints of syrupy sugar and a body that is too light and carbonation too peppery to sustain much interest from yours truly.

A Belgian???? Hardly !!! Sure is a lot like an amber to me. Amber with beige head. Light carmel malt nose. Malt profile with a few finishing hops

Very nice malts, caramel, and lots of hops for this petite quebecoise of my youth. Light beige creamy head. Sweet malts and english hops come out distinctively in the mouth, with some citrus... I loved and still love this beer.

Reddish brown beer with a sweet refreshing taste. Small head when pourred that disapear quickly. Better then your average industrial "rousse"...
