It's that odd thing in Ontario where we just don't seem to get may Quebec beers across the border, which is often a shame. Plus, being a unachieving beer guy, but not much of a beer news guy, I was surprised to note that LTDD had been bought by Molson's which hopefully works out well for them, but selfishly I hope their beers keep being exceptional. Lucky, this one is exceptional. It isn't said anywhere, but this comes off like a really well done lambic. Since the blend will be ever-changing call this the 2020 version? Mild green fruit sour, encompassed by a rich fruitiness of peach and grapes that just balances the sour without being sweet. The vanilla like oak notes, also have a little green wood in the finish. Really, really, good. Now available in the Lcbo, so go buy some, but please leave enough for me to grab six for the cellar.

Stable yellow head, dense, over fully hazy orange-amber beer. Bretts a mile out, floormop, orange mould. Dry oranges, Curaçao, beer-washed cheeserind, dried non-sweet fruit, as well as some very exotic fruits. There's another, known flavour I cannot pinpoint. Feels pretty light for 7.8% , the Bretts working? Slick, even oily. OK, but the Bretts make it a bit unidimensional.

Elle me rappelle un peu la 500e des Brasseurs du Monde, de part la similitude en bouche. Date d'embouteillage inconnue. En entrée de bouche, c'est doux, et surtout agrémenté de citron vert. Ensuite, on détecte le foin et les céréales suries (à la Berliner Weisse). L'équilibre est vraiment à point. Elle aurait pu être bien plus surette selon moi. Piquante et résineuse en finale...
