Passage Vers Un Rêve Nouveau

(355ml can from Sardines, Quebec City) Pours dark red-tinged brown with a decent beige head that is fairly stable with lace. Aroma and flavour both built around lightly roasted, tasty cereals with fairly light smoke, touch of peat-like iodine, delicate caramel sweetness, grassy/herbal hop notes, a little bit of stewed fruit quality, fairly dry thorughout and bone dry on the finish, light bitterness from toasted grains, herbal, a little peppery, touch of salinity and charcuterie. Light body, fairly soft and creamy carbonation, decent structure for 4%. Not my usual fare at all but fun, nicely made, very drinkable with smoke kept well in check.

A deep dark reddish brown lager with a thin mocha head. In aroma, nice caramel malt with light grassy hops, light peated notes, light roasted character, very nice. In mouth, a nice caramel malt with light grassy hops, light cereals, light peated notes, pleasant and smooth. On tap at Ayawan Rêve de Feu event May 27 2023
