Clear golden pour, with a huge white head. A nice spicy hop aroma from the goldings and saaz, with some a subtle, but very present tropical fruitiness. The carb is perfect and the mouth feel is clean and crisp. The finish is soughtly dry, some sharp spicy hops, with so,e nice cereal notes. A very nice belgian ale.

Bottle at La Foire Gourmande in Ville Marie Quebec.
Good looking pour, golden, small white head. A nice grassy, hoppy aroma, with some light bready malts. Solidmouth feel, carb is perfect, not crazy like i get alot in Quebec belgian beers. The finish is crisp, and refreshing, lots of bitter hops, and grass. solid cereal malts. great stuff.

Modest head, foggy orange body, some carbonation. Leather shoe aroma; leather beer shoe aroma. Leathery aroma like I’m back in those Paris nightclubs in the basement with the swing band, booze sloshing around, lingering poignancy of a time long past. Yeah - 2010. Few remember it. Also some coriander on the nose. Flavour is a muddy floral mess with those spicy notes, malt, some sweet lemon rinds in the mix but all a bit odd. Medium finish. A few cylinders are firing right on this one but the whole engine is stalling. Would do well for a big whiteboard meeting of "what did we do wrong and where can we go from here" kinda thing, cuz it has potential.

Golden coloured body with a nice, four centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of honey, yeast, bananas, bubble gum and a touch of coriander seed. Medium-bodied; Very noticeable honey and yeast flavours up front with a big effervescence and a strong grassy and malt quality from the wheat, right behind. Aftertaste shows a bit of sweetness from the honey, but this is a large wheat and yeast flavoured beer. Overall, a nice beer with a good yeast quality and complexity, yet still available at a convenience store! I sampled this caged and corked 75 cL bottle purchased from a Couche Tard in Montreal, Quebec, Canada for CA$7,09 sampled in my hotel room a few minutes later on 13-February-2016 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Ce produit me laisse perplexe... Puisqu’il n’y a rien sur l’étiquette qui m’indique qu’elle ait été brassée récemment, j’ai l’impression d’avoir un produit qui a mal été conservé / entreposé; aucune effervescence, point. Au goût, c’est plutôt bien, avec un bon goût de miel acidulé. Elle a des similitudes avec certains produits de qualité, tels que la Sofie de Goose Island. Au final, je dirais un produit très moyen dans un bel enrobage.

Total Wine, McLean 750ml ($9): Pours orange with a white head. Aroma is fruity, toffee, candied sugar, some hops, a bit of yeast. Taste is a little underwhelming. Somewhat sweet, with some lightly bitter, but nondescript hop notes. I got some off-notes... tasted almost like it was too old, but this bottle it new to the market, so it doesn’t seem to actually be too old. Maybe it is something with the malts I had a problem with. Lacking serious complexity. Easy enough to drink.

Nice Belgian blonde. Light florals with some coriander. Pours golden clear with foamy initial head and some lacing. Sweet finish, some malt and Belgian yeast. Nice beer from new brewery. Bottle from SAQ.

Olfactif: Le premier nez laisse échapper des notes de viande séchée, d’épices, de coriandre, d’alcool éthéré. Quelques houblons résineux également. Un nez complexe mais aux arômes un peu désagréables. Visuel: Dorée / Ambrée légèrement floue, la mousse est assez abondante, grosses bulles blanches, de persistance assez longue.Aucune dentelle sur le verre. Gustatif: Acidité marquante en attaque. Présence de bretts? Les houblons sont puissants herbacés et résineux. A travers l’acidité on dénote des accents floraux, des notes de caramel, des sucres de fleurs.Son effervescence est très active en bouche et supporte bien les saveurs.Au fur et à mesure que la bière se réchauffe les accents de malt prennent le dessus avec des notes de petits biscuits au beurre.Si vous réussissez à aller au delà de l’acidité, vous y trouverez une palette de saveurs très complexe. Les bières acides n’’étant pas mon style préféré, j’ai pu quand même apprécier sa grande délicatesse.

Aroma: Yeast nose with citrus and herbal accents: wheat, grain, hay. Mostly farm and country aromas. Nose sticking out average to high. Appearance: Gold blond, slightly hazy with very lively head, sparkling but very long lasting leaving an average lacing. Taste: Slightly malted attack leaving notes of caramelized fruits. Citrus notes are also present with lemon and orange zest. We can feel a very good balance between wheat and hops. Palate is sparkling and soft at the same time. Every zip is different; sometimes hoppy, sometimes malty and sometimes all wheat. There is a perfect balance between these three ingredients. What a surprise. Reminds me Belgian ales but with a much smoother feel. Bravo, une belle réussite.

Bouteille 750ml. Couleur or trouble, mousse blanche crémeuse laissant une dentelle éparse. Arôme de levure, épices, malt, alcool léger, pomme. Goût de levure, épices, malt, girofle, amertume minime, alcool en arrière-goût. En se réchauffant l’alcool devient très apparent. Carbonation élevée, corps moyen.

Keep an eye "off" the cork !! As soon as I took the cage off, the cork just popped out, hit the ceiling and beer came pouring out. Clean golden colour with a soapy head that foams away very slowly and leaves lacing. Aromas are quite mild, but decent, with spices, alcohol and kind of fruity. Silky mouthfeel and medium-light bodied. The taste is mild as well, but with a little more character than the nose. Sweet grain (bread and honey), spices and just a tad of grass. A decent Belgian-style strong blond ale, but lacking what Unibroue brought us many decades ago.

Bottle: Poured a murky beige color ale with a generous off-white foamy head with good retention and some good lacing. Aroma consists of semi-sweet Belgian malt with good notes of bready ester from the yeast strain. Taste is also dominated by some semi-sweet notes of honey and sweet flavoured Belgian malt with some light dry and flora hoppy notes and a spicy and bready yeast strain which carries lot of weight. Body is quite full with great carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Easily drinkable while retaining some complexity makes for a very enjoyable beer.
