Bottle shared by Dany at the post EBF tasting, thanks! Poured a clear gold with a slight ruby hue and a lasting white head that laced slightly. Aroma was tart with some light berries with a bit of acid and funk coming out. Flavor was nicely balanced with acid and funk with a really nice tart berry note that really balances the beer nicely.

A blonde belgian ale with a thick creamy frothy white head. In aroma, fruity esters, loads of cloves, red melon, berries. In mouth, a smooth belgian ale with light cloves, bananasa bit like a crystal weizen, nice and smooth. On tap at Vices et versa, Feb. 13 2011.

750mL bottle, pours hazy golden amber with a big white head. Aroma and flavour of yeast, brandy, oak, a little candied sugar, and dry fruits, with a lingering yeasty, alcoholic finish.

Sampled on draft at Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a hazy golden color with a medium creamy head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of citrus, earthy notes and an almost nutty note. The taste is tart citrus, bready notes, hay, pear. Pretty much like sucking on a lemon. Medium bodied. Weird one.

Aroma is light gueuze notes mixed with malt. Has a nice foggy brown body with little head. Flavour is gueuze-like with a dry malt finish. The palate is dry; the body could be more solid, but I’m nitpicking as this is good stuff.

Aroma of lambics and gueuze, wild yeasts all over the place, all perfectly defined. Body is foggy orange with a decent level of head on top. Flavour is gueuze with white wine notes; dry finish. It tastes as Belgian as the real thing; it’s my clear favourite find from Montreal’s winter warmer fest.

A reddish amber ale with a thick lacing off white head. A herbaceous caramel malt aroma, with light coriander and a bit of funk. In mouth, a sweet malt with light cinnamon notes, a bit boring. On tap at Brouhaha, Dec. 4 2010.
