Dégustée à l'été 2016 - version BIÈRES BRISSET (De mes notes). .

Deep copper and bronze coloured body with a very nice, three centimetre tall tan head - very nice looking throughout. Aroma of malt, caramel, grain with a big herbal presence,some lighter german hops and a bit more caramel scents. Medium-bodied; Strong rich malty flavours dominate with a big grass presence, some subdued bitterness and a touch of sweetness at the end - but fairly minimal in flavours. Aftertaste shows a little complexity from the malt, but not much else from the hops or sweetness - pretty bland at the end. Overall, a pretty ho-hum beer with not much to it, and not a traditional IPA, but more of a Canadian-styled IPA which means a lot less hops and more focus on malt. I sampled this 50 cL bottle purchased from Marche des Saveurs du Quebec in Montreal, Quebec, Canada on 14-February-2016 for CA$4,49 sampled at home in Washington south of the border on 03-May-2016.
