On Tap, Mondiale ’07.
Nice looking beer, dark gold, good head and lacing. lots of hops in the aroma, definitely quite a few varieties. Flavour is quite floral, nicely balanced, very solid IPA.

On tap at Mondial de la bière Montréal 2015. An unclear, dark golden to amber colored beer topped by a small, off-white head. Citrusy, piney aroma with a wort-like, bready maltyness. Citrus, pine cones and a nice bitterness dominates the flavor, but there’s too much bready, caramel-ish malts in the back. Lacks a bit on bitterness too I think. Full body and a smooth and nice carbonation. Bitter, piney finish with a malty backdrop. Too much on the malty side this one, and I wouldn’t mind more bitterness either. 150611

On tap at Ho.st. Strangely this tap pours a ridiculously clear gold for an IPA. Big bready citrusy hop aroma. Very soft bodied with a med-full mouthfeel gives it a luscious mouthfeel.

Nice IPA. Some citrus grapefruit in nose. Pours cloudy orange with great head and lacing. Malt well-integrated and robust. Light bitter finish. Some booze as well. Finish is nice, even with some perfume. Tap at Vices et Versa.

On tap at Apex, pours an opaque orange with a small beige head. Aroma of floral hops, citrus and doughy / biscuity malt. Flavour of leafy, grassy hops, orange peel, with a very pleasant grassy finish. Medium-to-full bodied with a very well-crafted flavour profile. Very nice.

Dégustée en fût au Vices & Versa à Montréal. De couleur ambrée foncée et voilée. Nez de houblon résineux aux notes citriques, florales et terreuses, moyennement malté de caramel sucré et léger de fruits (agrumes, traces de pêches). Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture très légèrement résineuse. Goût moyen-amer de houblon résineux et aux notes florales (une amertume présente toute la gorgée) accompagné d’un moyen goût fruité (agrumes) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût malté de caramel doux avec de faibles traces de biscuits puis en finale l’amertume de houblon revient en force en affichant un caractère légèrement terreux avec des notes citriques asséchantes. Post-goût moyen-long, moyen-amer de houblon résineux, légèrement terreux, aux notes florales et citriques avec un léger goût fruité (zest d’agrumes). (hiver 2006-07)
