Depanneur Peluso, Montreal can: Pours amber with a white head. Aroma is caramel and a bit of hops. There really isn’t much to this beer aside of it being a straightforward, basically drinkable amber ale. I am in no rush to have anything like again.

A deep dark stout with a thick creamy and lacing mocha head. In aroma, a rather peaty chocolate malt with herbal notes, not bad. In mouth, a nice fruity bitter chocolate malt with coffee notes, well done. On tap at Archibald YUL.

Malt forward, English style session pale. Pours dark copper with good head and lacing. Some light barley and some slight rusty hops aroma in finish. Very light bitter finish. Tall can.

Can: Poured a light yellow color lager with a medium white foamy head with medium retention and some light lacing. Aroma of lightly sweet cereal notes is pretty simple. Taste is also dominated by light sweet cereal notes with limited aftertaste. Body is about average for style with good carbonation. Simple but well brewed for the style. This is not something I would drink on a regular basis but well brewed for the style that the brewery was aiming for.

Canette 473ml. De couleur dorée pâle et claire. Nez de grains de céréales sucrées et fraîches avec des notes fruitées (mangue) et de houblon herbeux. Moyenne-mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen ainsi qu’une texture aux petites notes crémeuses. Notes fruitées (agrumes, traces de mangues) lors de l’entrée en bouche rapidement suivi d’un goût de grains de céréales fraîches et légèrement sucrées ainsi que quelques traces de pain puis en finale l’on retrouve une très légère amertume de houblon herbeux. Post-goût court-moyen, très légèrement amer de houblon herbeux.

Tasted on tap at the brewery’s pub in Lac Beauport, Québec on August 9th 2012. Aromas are light floral. Head is perfect with exceptional lacing. Color is dark straw and very sparkling. Flavors are sweet and malty with notes of honey to start with. Then hops are taking over with floral and grassy notes. The balance hop / malt is almost perfect. Sweet accents of malt are making a good job on the body. A high quality pilsner. The second best one I tasted after L’Amère à boire’s Cërna.

Tasted on tap at the brewery’s pub in Lac Beauport, Québec on August 9th 2012. Mainly hoppy aromas. Color is clear dark gold with small head and little lacing. Straight off the bat, hops are at work with very cutting and dry bitterness. I suspect a lot of Cascade in there. Malt is also doing a good job supporting a light caramel accent; just enough. A very long all bitterness finish. A straight forward IPA like it should be.

Tasted on tap at the Wendat Hotel Museum in Wendake, Québec. Very clear pale blond almost straw. Head is small and disappears rapidly. A tiny bit of lacing. Flavors are mainly hoppy with notes of cereals and especially corn. Malts are weak. Corn is taking a lot of space and it’s almost making that beer unpleasant. Palate is light and thin. Kwe in wendat native language means ’’Hello’’. It was probably a request from the Wendat Hotel- Museum to have a beer brewed as close as possible to the ancient native traditional ingredient such as corn. I personnally think that it’s not a success.

A reddish orange amber ale with a thin lacing and frothy off white head. In aroma, caramel malt with resinous hops, treacle, barley candy. In mouth, a sweet burned caramel malt with light floral hops, some short bitterness following by pungent hopping, interesting. Can from SAQ.

Had not been to a SAQ (Quebec liquor store) in a while and found this one (as it is exclusive to them). Pours a clean amber-copper colour with a light beige head that is foamy/creamy, last a long time and covers the glass with lacing. Beautiful fruity nose with some caramel malts, some mild hops and hints of burnt malt. Creamy mouthfeel with a quick wet finish. The hop is slightly more apparent in the taste, but still, the caramel blends things well. Very mild grapefruit flavours from the hop creating very light bitterness. A pretty nice product for the liquor store (just a tad expensive for a can that is not imported).
