A solid, fluffy, well laced light tan head on a brown/black body. Nose has a soft blend of coffee, chocolate, toffee and citrus hops. Taste profile hits above its weight. Fresh ground coffee, cream, some chocolate and sweet dark berries. Oatmeal and roasted malt add depth and body. Molasses note helps round it out. A touch of acidity in the aftertaste works well too. Bien fait!

A light straw body with a big white head. A vibrant nose with banana, spice and acidity. The taste profile is exceptionally clean and refreshing. Banana, lemon, cinnamon, nutmeg and sweet bready malt work well with a strong carbonation and acidity to create a great summer witbier. I’ll be back for this one.

A pillowy white head on a golden straw body with very visible carbonation. The nose is a rich banana bread with malt and a touch of spiciness. The taste profile continues with the banana bread theme, chewy malt, some spice and pepper, orange and a hint of celery salt. Quite a dense body for a Weizen Bock but very refreshing at the same time.

A very tasty take on the Pilsner tradition. The body is a typical light gold colour with a pillowy white head. The nose offers up soft malt and a touch of citrus. There is a wide range of fruity hop flavours at work here - lemon, pineapple and a touch of orange. The malt is understated in relation to the hops when compared with traditional pilsners. Very tasty.

Hazy yellow body topped by an active white head. Nose is fresh, featuring spiced malt and a hint of banana. A range of well blended and refreshing tastes make this a memorable saison. Lemon and mango hops, and spice including coriander, pepper and lavender are punched up by zesty carbonation. A thin body works with the taste profile. Another nice accomplishment from Le Trou Du Diable.

Extra point for the name \"Four Surfers of the Apocalypso\". The nose has a range of soft fruity hops and bready malt - nice. A nice summer beer that is as advertised. Citrus and tropical hops showing mango and lemon set off this refreshing IPA. A touch of soapiness and some easy drinking bready malts a la west coast IPAs make for a nice beer at the barbi!

The nose features grapefruit and citrus accents on a light orange/brown body with a soft off-white head. This is a refreshing and fresh tasting IPA. Taste elements include floral and citrus hops, light, sweet malt and a softening hint of melon. The medium to high carbonation is appropriate and helps create a zesty and fresh taste profile. The body is a classic light to medium IPA texture and the balances extend to the end of the taste experience. Well done.

Nose features malty sweetness and kiwi fruit and a touch of caramel. The taste is led by sweet bready malt, with floral, tropical hops, kiwi fruit and woodiness. Some refreshing Pilsner qualities. Very drinkable, Australian-style IPA for summer!

Bottle shared with the fam on the last night in St Alphonse. Gold with a frothy, white head. Yeasty, doughy aroma with a touch of clove. Taste is mildly bitter the whole way through. Moderate dose of lingering clove at the finish. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation. A bit watery over the tongue. Ok.
