December 1st is when I seriously look at starting to drink my Christmas/Winter beers in Japan. Le Bockale A 20 5% Brown pine beer A lovely reddish brown with a foamy beige head and a caramel big fresh piney aroma. I think this was made by pine sap. Quite full bodied with a semi-slick mouthfeel. The taste is hugely ascerbic pine, a touch of smoke and citrus. Very woodsy, apparently this is made with 100% Quebec ingredients. Interesting for sure. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Pours a hazy amber colour with a big frothy warm beige head, very long lasting with some foamy lacing. Aromas of fresh pine wood over caramel malts. The pine gum taste is also here, with again, the mild caramel malt base. Hints of wood all-around. This is quite a nice twist on the spicy pine hop IPAs, but with the real pine.

Bouteille 500ml. Les tons de malt pénètrent les narines dès le départ avec des notes de caramel brulé, puis viennent ensuite des notes de sapin, de houblons herbacés et terreux. Au look, une belle grosse mousse beige, dense, couronne un liquide brun opaque aux reflets rougeâtres. En bouche,des accents de torréfaction au goût de mélasse se superposent aux notes terreuses des houblons. La finale laisse échapper le sapinage légèrement piquant mais trop discret. Perception de cultivars Américains avec de légères notes de d’agrumes et de fruits tropicaux. Bien que le houblonnage soit très bien équilibré, il requiert une prédominance de sapin. Du moins à mon goût. Belle réussite dans l’ensemble. Soulignons l’effort de la brasserie à perpétuer ce style typiquement Québécois.
