Telle la brise qui balaie les conifères du mont Royal, cette IPA forestière porte le parfum boréal des forêts du Québec et doit son caractère à des houblons résineux et à un mélange de pousses de sapin et d'épinettes cueillies à la main aux quatre coins de la province.

Can: Poured a golden color ale with a medium size foamy head with OK retention and some lacing. Aroma of resinous and soapy hops is throwing me off. Taste is also a mix of resinous notes with some soapy notes with light bitterness in the finale. Body is about average with good carbonation. Weird West Coast IPA with soapy notes.

On tap at Brasseur de Montréal. Pours a clear gold with a white head. Light pine and citrus on the nose. Flavour has dry pine and some grapefruit peels. It's okay, but not great.

Fairly clean (lightly unfiltered with time), amber colour with golden highlights, a big warm-whitish frothy head, good retention and foamy spots of lacing. Big piney aromas with a mild caramel malt base. Loads of spruce in the taste with just a touch of dryness in the finish. Again, some light caramel malts in the background. Quite a nice West Coast IPA with what seems to be a nice spruce beer soda side to it.

473ml can. Clear golden pour, with a medium white head. Aroma is all spruce, and pine, with some subtle citrus oils. Malts are in the background, but add some much needed, and appreciated balance. Reminds me of an old school west coast IPA. not bad, not great, but decent.
