Bouteille 500ml (280 de 1000). De couleur dorée foncée et voilée. Nez de levures fruitées (agrumes sucrées, notes de pêches), de blé, moyen d’épices (gingembre, petites notes de coriandre), léger de grains de malt sucrés, de miel et de houblon herbeux/ floral avec des petites notes de pain frais. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture légèrement crémeuse. Goût de levures fruitées (agrumes, petites notes de bananes, traces de pêches) accompagné d’un goût épicé (moyen de gingembre, léger de coriandre, traces de clou de girofle) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût de blé avec un léger goût de grains de céréales sucrés et des notes de biscuits au miel puis en finale l’on retrouve une légère amertume de houblon floral et légèrement herbeux (herbes fraîches, petites notes d’herbes mouillées). Post-goût moyen, légèrement amer de houblon floral et légèrement herbeux avec un goût de levures fruitées (zest d’agrumes) et un léger goût asséchant de blé.

Very nice foggy amber body and a big off-white head that is indeed attractive for the dégustationally inclined. Soft sweet malt aroma and nothing else. Flavour is murky malts with an okay mouthfeel. It is very particularily, and extremely especially, average.

Has modest head and an okay foggy orange body. Aroma is fruitiness like a cider. Flavour is a simple but very drinkable mix of wheat flavours and witbier hops. Dry finish. Quite nice, but not quite great.

This is my favourite kind of beer - a laser-printed label with only text, this is possibly the most local kind of microbrew you can get, aside from that made by your neighbour! Appearance is a two, no matter how hard I try to make it a three - boring white head, orange-gold body with plenty of carbonation. Aroma is orange soda, like C-Plus but a bit softer and with less sugar. Flavour is a weird beefy mix between strong dark malt and orange peels; also some cough syrup ginger in there. I really don’t know about this one - it’s well balanced on one hand, but I just don’t personally like the taste. Points for something well made, points lost for something that just tastes like ass.

Second IPA rated of the night and my first from this brewer. Pours a clean amber colour with and off-white head that is big, has good retention and creates lacing all-around. Carbonation in this one is a bit more active (again with tiny bubbles). The scent though is not hoppy, but grainy. If you sniff enough, you can trace hints of grassy hop hidden in the bush. Taste of caramel malt with some fruit, and even harder to find the hop in this department. Wet mouthfeel, but medium-bodied. Not really bitter, and with the grain flavour in the aftertaste. Nothing wrong here, but laking in the hop section. An IPA that is above the Keith’s IPA but less bitter than most average ones (like the Simple Malt IPA I just rated before).

Has a beautiful dark brown-amber body with small bits of carbonation, as well as a huge dark beige head. Soft aroma of chocolate, espresso hazelnut. Flavour is coffee and hazelnut with a slightly weak palate. Still, it’s a pretty good stout.

Has a faint malt aroma, with slightly syrupy sweetness. Nice dark amber body with a modest yellow-white head. Flavour is wood, grass, barley. It has a sharp wet finish with no syrupiness at all. Great for the alcohol content. It’s a very nice strong beer.

Bottle: Poured a hazy dark burgundy color ale with an average size foamy head with good retention and limited lacing. Aroma of sweet malt with dry oak notes. Taste is more dominated by oak and light vinous notes then I was expecting. The sweet malty notes from the based beer are still perceptible. Body is surprisingly more thin then the based beer with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Interesting but I won’t seek again considering the price tag and the fact that the original beer is much better.

dried fruit and caramel and segues into a more gentle porto-like flavor with lots of sweet fruit. There's a candied aspect also
