(473ml can from Intermarche St Jean, Quebec City) Pours near-opaque medium yellow with a decent white head and spotty lace. Aroma is very tropical, mango and tangerine with some pineapple and peach, floral stuff like passionfruit, a little bitter grapefruit peel in there. Flavour follows the nose with a mid-sweet juicy core with lots of mango, ripe pineapple and peach, accents of oranges and peach, softly bready malt, drying somewhat in the finish with more prominent grapefruit bitters and slightly rindy vibes. No alcohol presence in the smooth aftertaste. Medium-plus body, average carbnation, slick to creamy mouthfeel. The balance here is definitely a bit towards the Boreale side, with more malt sweetness and presence but not malty per-se, and missing the green finish of some Messo. Extremely nice for a grocery store beer!
