On tap at Bistro L'Autre Oeil, pours a cloudy golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is quite chalky, with resinous and dank hops, chalk, and some earthiness. Flavour is fruity, with lots of dank hops, stone fruit pith and chalk. A bit too murky for my tastes, but it has a nice fruitiness. Decent.

(473ml can from L'Axe du Malt, Quebec City) Pours lightly cloudy deep gold wiht an average white head and a little lace. Aroma of fairly mild but quite musky and lightly acidic passionfruit, grapefruit peels, dusty yeast, light cereals, some other vague leafy and tropical hop character. Flavour is lightly sweet and lightly tart with clear passionfruit, light cereal base, hop profile is pretty restrained with some grapefruit, white grape and grass, a bit doughy and dusty from the yeast, finishing soft with basically no bitterness and lingering passionfruit and a kind of hop pellet sort of quality. Short aftertaste. Light bodied, quite low carbonation. Overall impression a bit watery. Not bad but the adjunct and the IPA are both a little faint and the whole thing is a touch dilute. The Reverbere series makes me expect more from BG.
