Kathaumixw is a biannual international choral festival hosted in Powell River. For 5 days in July, the town is filled with the beautiful voices of dozens of choirs from all over the world. Languages pose no boundaries - people from different cultures come together to share the common language of song. Cédric was thrilled to be asked to create a special beer inspired by this festival. To honour Kathaumixw, he has brewed a Bière de Garde, a strong pale ale or (literally) ‘keeping beer’ traditionally brewed in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region of France. This version is peppery & earthy from the northern Europen hops, and fruity from the Belgian yeast. Please note: this is a biannual seasonal, brewed only during Kathaumixw years.

Light amber. Hazy. This has a mellow orangey nose. Has a soft sweet, malty character. There is a decent bitterness, some honeyed malts, and ultimately there’s some biscuity malts, too. Not bad balance.

650mL bottle, pours a cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out Belgian yeast, biscuity notes and some floral notes. Flavour brings out lots of Belgian yeast, some earthy notes, and a peppery quality. Not very convincing as a bi�re de garde, but it's okay. Meh.

Bottle at CapFlu’s Blomster Bash
Hazy amber color. Nice malt aroma, with a whiskey scent. Slick mouthfeel, some caramel, candy, correct bitterness, light fruity esters.
Ok Amber Ale.
