Bottled at Ottawa gathering. Hazy amber, small head. Bready orange aroma. Mid sweet with medium-full body and soft mouthfeel. Woody and caramelly with orange and slight minerals. Soft caramelly bread. Light husky bitterness. Interesting and harmonious.

Belle bouteille qui se laisse toutefois désirer puisque la cire empêche une décapsulation facile... Le parfum qu’elle dégage est composé de miel, de céréales sucrées et de poivre. C’est onctueux en bouche et plutôt riche pour le style. L’alcool est imperceptible. C’est très bon et bien fait. Le poivre n’est pas utilisé à outrance. J’en veux encore...

01-04-2018... Flat, florale, terne en bouche et au visuel, poivre doux; était un peu meilleure fraîche. 7/3/8/4/15=3.8/5.0

En cruchon de 1L... Le nez est fait de céréales, d’abricots et de citron. En bouche, c’est un peu râpeux au début. C’est boisé, poivré et un peu citronné. L’amertume finale n’est pas bien agréable. Le côté "Session" est bien maîtrisé.

Une belle surprise pour mon palais! Cette bière me rappelle étrangement (et heureusement) une référence du QC qu’est la délicieuse St-Ambroise Noire. L’équilibre est parfait et la buvabilité est définitivement au rendez-vous. En milieu de goût, il y a un flash vineux (ou cassis) qui ne reste qu’une fraction de seconde. Juste assez pour que je m’en rende compte... Excellente bière!!

Biggish beige head. Hazy deep dark red body. Fruity caramelly aroma with earthy vaguely milky notes. Sweetish fruity caramelly taste with earthy orangey notes. Faint, faint smoke. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft, slightly flat mouthfeel. (Which is to say there’s a little more carbonation than what’s true to style. FWIW.) Sweetish fruity orangey wet clayey earth aftertaste with herbal spicy notes. Lingering orangey flavour, with green, mossy flavours. Nice, drinkable, unusual. (0.375? bottle, gift from MartinT. Lot #0M-1.)

It’s nice, I like it. Sigmund’s kveik is recognizable through both the oranges and the wet, clayey earth flavour. I can’t pick out any juniper at all, though. It’s also drier than expected. And there is more carbonation. The slight tang of acidity that runs through it I think is probably true to style, and it certainly doesn’t bother me.

Supposed to be a smoked beer but found the smokiness to be very discreet. A nice ale but fails to deliver for what it bills itself as.

We shared this 1L growler with the good folks at Beau’s. A golden orange color with s filmy head and a bready Orange and wheat aroma. The taste is cloves, wheat, soda bread, a slight hit of acidity but quite smooth. Tasty stuff.

Growler from the Brewery. Apache 5.6% 39 IBU A nice looking brown with reddish highlights. Cracking the growler released a huge aroma of citrus and apricot, in my mug I got more of the malty caramel and a touch of smoke. The taste is surprisingly  smokey with bitter nutty chocolate and floral hops. Good.
