solid, laced white head on a translucent amber body. A soft nose features sweet malt, a spritz of citrus and some field berries. The hops bring mixed fruity notes and some pine bitterness. Quite sweet and effervescent, which works fine together. Well blended but pretty subtle

Fresh and well defined tastes lead to a solid BW from Riverbend. The nose leads with citrus and earthy hops supported by caramel malts and candied fruit. The taste has some solid elements - rich caramel malt, citrus, rindy hops balanced by earthy English hops, cherries and other berries and a warm booziness. Dense and slightly sticky.

A fulsome white head, well laced, on an opaque straw body. Lots of visible carbonation. The nose features fresh tropical fruit, orange and cereal. This is a horse of a different colour. There are a raft of fruity tastes here, but all tempered by a metallic edge. Orange, lemon, melon, kiwi, and even cherry flavours are all there, but as I said, with this unusual metallic overlay. The hops are generating the flavours, but are not significantly bitter. Sweet malt and grain work well with the fruit. Would this be a home run without the edge?

Red pour, light sediment, high slightly pinkish head. Aroma is quite tart, nice notes of raspberry, and wheat with hints of lactic sourneas. Mouth feel is light and effervescent, lively carb. Finish is tart, nice berry flavour, but a random berry flavour, I can’t say it’s raspberry. Nice, but not memorable..

Soft cherry, hints of jolly rancher, solid lactic tartness and lots if malted wheat. Thin mouthfeel, lively carb. Overall nice and tart, subtle semi sweet jolly rancher like cherry flavour, with a nice overall fruity tartness.

Dark orange pour, small off white head. Lots of malted wheat, strong lactic sourness with alot of citrus zest. Watery mouth feel, lively carb. Tart finish, more citrus and strong wheat finish. Run of the mill Berliner, OK, but nothing special.

Profil aromatique où s’étalent des notes de toasté, de cassonnade et de caramel léger.
Une mousse généreuse et rocailleuse se dépose sur le liquide ambré profond et partiellement voilé.
Un corps léger et aqueux en bouche.
Forte amertume herbacée et poivrée en finale.
Les malts sont céréaliers et très subtilement toastés et on y dénote l’absence de notes caramélisées.
Équilibre mis sur les houblons extrêmement herbacés et à la limite du métallique.
Manque d’équilibre.
Amertume trop prononcée au détriment des saveurs maltées.
Pas très appréciée !

Hazy amber colour with some golden highlights, a big warm, light-beige frothy head, very long lasting and leaving nice foamy lacing. Big dark fruits in the aromas at first, then calming down and releasing the caramel malt base, hints of wax, hops. The hops do come out on top in the taste with some nice grassiness, over the caramel malts and some good lingering dryness. Cereal grains and hay come out in the nose with time. Getting more bitter as you drink. A good American Barleywine, as pretty hoppy, but all well-blended with the malt, and really not too sweet.
A hazed blonde weisse with a thin lacing white head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with light lemony notes, light cereals, pleasant. In mouth, sweet fruity malt with light mineral notes, light lactic notes, very nice. Can at mondiale 2023.

Olfactif au profil céréalier défini laissant échapper de subtiles notes iodées ainsi que de la coriandre. Le liquide doré et presque parfaitement limpide se couvre d’une petite mousse effervescente qui ne tient pas du tout. Délicate en bouche, elle met en valeur les céréales de blé craquantes. De légères notes de coriandre et un environnement de notes marines incluant un léger salin complètent la palette. Des accents de noisettes issues du malt sont également présents. La carbonatation est cependant en deçà des standards. L’apport des algues est tout à fait intéressant dans cette Gose bien près des Goses historiques. O:7.39 V:3.18 G:8.15 C:3.71 G:15.5 T:37.93
