Bouteille 660ml, courtoisie de Blankboy. De couleur brune-ambrée et voilée. Nez de grains de céréales sucrées, moyen de levures fruitées (léger de raisins et d’agrumes) léger de caramel toffee sucré, de houblon herbeux avec des notes de biscuits au miel. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-bas et une texture aux notes crémeuses et sirupeuses. Léger goût de levures fruitées (petites notes de raisins rouges et d’agrumes, faibles traces de bananes) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût de grains de malt sucrés aux petites notes rôties et terreuses, un léger goût de caramel toffee sucré avec des notes de biscuits puis en finale l’on retrouve une très légère amertume de houblon herbeux (herbes mouillées, traces de gazon et de thé) ainsi que des notes de levures épicées (poivre très doux) et de noix. Post-goût moyen et aux notes sèches, légèrement amer de houblon herbeux avec un léger goût fruité (zest d’agrumes) avec des traces de noix.

Bottle courtesy of Piscator34: Poured a deep amber almost burgundy color ale with a medium foamy had with average retention and almost no lacing. Aroma of spices and dry hops is quite interesting; you can definitely recognized Saaz in there. Taste is also dominated between some spices (which may be attributable to the type of yeast used) and some dry hops (probably Saaz). I thought the malt profile was a bit too discreet and the body was a bit light for the style. Not bad but definitely not the best from this fine brewery.

A nice clean dark amber ale with a thick off white head. Pleasant aroma of nutty caramel and fresh mash. with light bubble gum. In mout, a very intense roasted malt, nutty, with light hopping, and fruity esters. Medium bodied. Overall, enjoyed by all. Thanks Piscator!

Golden-amber colour with a light haze. Brown sugar and corn syrup aroma. Very sweet, fruity, and a little bit bubblegummy. Pale, sweet, low alcohol...to me that is not going to be an effective combination even if you totally nail it.
