4-pack at La Trappe à Fromage with a 7% ABV. written on can. Pours a deep amber colour with a foamy warm beige head, average retention and a little lace. Very malty aromas of rye, cereal, bread, caramel, apples and hints of spices (cinnamon, nutmeg). The malts continues in the taste, but milder. Cereal, bread, darker malts, minerals and notes of hops in the finish. Not a bad brew with well-hidden alcohol.

4.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 4.5
On draught at Trudeau Airport, 4/18/15
Small white head fades to cover atop a clear, blonde body.
Light hoppiness in the nose shows not much more than a dusting of pepper and dry hay. Some bitter notes are consumed by a slightly unsettling vanilla-cream-like sugar note. Somewhat strange, almost waxy, not sure what it is (partial grain brewing? Don’t know). Other than that, it’s wholly inoffensive with no alcohol and no DMS/diacetyl.
The flavor is very wet, watery, extremely lightly hopped (again, just some very light herbs, minimal peppery bitterness) with loose carbonation and a rather lifeless feel to it. Sugars are much too high, resulting in a not very refreshing beverage with more of that weird vanilla-waxiness. Probably not as bad as I’m making it sound, but I didn’t stay for a second....Based on the ratings, looks like I should have started with the L’insoumise, but it takes a deeply disturbed individual to pick the English Pale ale as their first beer at a brewery.

A golden ale with a thick nitro light mocha head. In aroma, light caramel malt with light grassy hops, OK. In mouth, a sweet caramel malt with light grassy hops, watery bodied, boring. On tap at Archibald YUL.

6.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Draught at Archibald - Aéroport de Montréal
Black color with compact beige head. The weak but smooth body marries well the delicate bready roastiness.
As often happens to simple and imprecise breweries, the dark beer is the most pleasant.

Ciboire from Archibald Microbrasserie

6.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Draught at Archibald - Aéroport de Montréal; 6% ABV
Golden color. It has the malt and hop profile of an APA, not an IPA, with a grainy, cereally accent; the hoppy is lightly grassy.
Oh, well, of course, this is not the West Coast…

Draught at Archibald - Aéroport de Montréal; 7% ABV
Reddish amber color with almost no head. The aroma is a not woody, the body strength is OK, the flavor has mild caramel and a grainy touch. It reminds me of many bottled German Dunkler Bocks.
Simple but pleasant.

Draught at Archibald - Aéroport de Montréal
Amber color with creamy nitro head. It’s a bit mellower than the other Archibald beers, and this helps. Not much notable aroma and flavor.
Simple but decent.

Draught at Archibald - Aéroport de Montréal
Bright dark amber color. Rather dry, with decent caramel profile, a bit grainy; correct bitterness.
An ok Amber Ale, drinkable
It doesn’t really matter, but it’s self defined as Pale Ale; is it so difficult to get the color/name right?

Murky pale blond color, unfortunately served with an orange slice. Rather dry and weak, with a hint of wheat and spices.
Mediocre.
