Originally rated February 2006. Bought at the Dépanneur de la Rive in Cap-Rouge, Quebec. Pours a lightly cloudy blonde colour with a fizzy white head. Retention is poor, and so is lacing. Small tiny spec of different shape that are darker are floating all over. Not too many though. The nose is sour at first with the thought of going bad, going through my head. Then, the satisfying sweetness kicks in. Mmmm..... maple syrup. Mouthfeel is kind of watery and mildly fizzy. Thankfully, the taste is better. The infection still persist at the beginning with some sourness, but then, again, the maple comes to the rescue... in the aftertaste. Some green apples in there in the middle. Tastes like the hard candy made from maple syrup and a bit of "sucre-à-la-crème". Nice and light, but still prefer the Schoune à l’Èrable.

With a bit of force you get plenty of head out of this, a decent density, on top of a boring gold body. Aroma is grains with a soft hint of maple syrup; uh oh, I see it already, they’re cheaping out on the syrup! It shows up much, much better in the flavour, however - it’s an excellent blend between lager grain notes and maple syrup. It’s certainly better on the maple beer scale, and rather balanced in my opinion. Worth a try.

Bouteille. De couleur jaune légèrement voilé. Nez fruité (pommes vertes, notes de pêche) légèrement lactique, léger de sirop d’érable avec des notes de miel et de sucre blanc ainsi que des traces de fumée. Moyenne-mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-bas et une texture légèrement sirupeuse. Goût légèrement fruité (léger de pommes vertes, traces de pêche) et légèrement acide lactique (présent en arrière-goût toute la gorgée) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût malté moyennement sucré d’un mélange de sirop d’érable (un peu discret), léger de miel et avec des notes de sucre blanc et de blé puis l’on retrouve de faibles notes herbeuses en finale. Post-goût moyen, léger de sucres résiduels (notes fades) avec des notes herbeuses.

Called Blanches a l’érable at the Festival Bieres et Saveurs. 5.5% . Golden ale with a fruity aroma, more like apples. Light maple and lactic acid taste. Very light bodied. Im assuming this is la Coulée based on Gonzo’s and Beerbuzz’s comment. (Sept. 2004)
