A lightly hazed golden ale with a thin white head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with light butterscotch, light grassy hops, light mineral notes. In mouth, a nice crisp biscuit malt with grassy floral hops, light mineral notes, light treacle, pleasant. On tap at Montréal Airport location.

Pours a slight hazy, light golden-yellow colour with a foamy white cap, decent stay and some soapy lace. Fresh grassy smell with hints of Belgian Ale yeast and mild grain malts. The taste is hoppy overall with some hints of cereal in the background. Wow, these two India Session Ale this brewery make (Blonde and Rousse) are sure something. Hard to noticed the low alcohol content.

Hazed by tiny particles, light golden-amber colour with a good off-white head, decent retention and lots of sticky lace. Caramel aromas with nice hops. After breathing, some dark fruit notes come out with hints of apples. The taste is a little bitter over mild roasted and caramel malts. Decent dryness in the aftertaste. Pretty good session India Red Ale for such a low alcohol content.

Pours a golden-amber colour, too filtered as in pretty clean, off-white head that disappears quickly leaving hardly any lacing. Alcohol nose with some yeast and hints of apple juice. Wow, this is getting uglier. Way too sweet, way too rich. Banana flavour notes with some spices, sweet malts. So hard to finish. In Quebec, you want a Tripel... it’s called Fin du Monde. This is way too rich, just like a lot of the Archibald line.

Pours a cloudy light-golden colour with a bubbly head and foamy lacing. Citrus aromas with Belgian Ale yeast and spices. Wheat tasting with a mineral water feel and some decent mild spices. A little rich, but drinkable overall.

Pours a clean copper-amber colour with a beige head, decent stay and some sticky lace. Very sweet nose with some dark fruits (prune, dates), coffee, molasses and mild roasted malt. The taste is thankfully not too sweet with the hops balancing things. The coffee notes are still present. Even though sweet, the honey is overpowered by other notes. An interesting, good winter beer.

Pours a hazy copper-amber colour with fizzy dark-beige head that disappears quickly enough, leaving a little lace. Red apple aromas with almonds notes, banana and yeast. The taste is sweet, but not too syrupy. A little dryness in the finish from the mild hops. Fruits, caramel and light nuttiness. Hard to finish as a little too rich.

Pours a golden colour with a warm frothy cap, good retention and lots of foamy lace. Fruity malt aromas with hints of honey, spices and bananas. The taste is on the sweet side with the fruity malts and Belgian Ale yeast. Some hops do help drying the finish with light grass lingering. Still, just a tad too rich in the mouth for my liking. Says unfiltered, but seems pretty clean all the way.

Une touche de noisettes au nez. Des tons herbacés. Un fond de levure. Des notes métalliques. Un olfactif assez ordinaire. Liquide brun, limpide. Une mousse effervescente de durée moyenne. En bouche, l’attaque se décline en notes de noisettes aux tons légèrement rances, accompagnés d’un boisé sec et d’accents d’herbes fraîches. Le corps est au delà de la minceur. La finale sèche. Mais, dans son ensemble, cette bière ne m’impressionne pas outre mesure.
