Has a boring but acceptable bright yellow body and big white foamy head. Fruity grain aroma. Flavour is nothing (nothing!) with a wet and lemony aftertaste. This stuff totally disappoints.

Pours with a slightly foggy yellow body and an okay little thin strip of very white and thin head on top. Aroma is all citrusy and lemony-like, like I’m supposed to be drinkin’ lemonade - and that ain’t the case now is it? Flavour is thin hoppiness and a weak watery palate. There’s not much going for this one.

Pours with a nice bright yellow pilsner body but a thin and weak head on top. Aroma is soft grains and nothing else. Flavour is smooth lemon with grain notes, leaving a wet finish. Nothing special.

Pours with a beautiful storm of bubbles in a slightly off-clear body and a big foamy white head. Has a soft aroma of Belgian-style hops and some faint meaty grain notes. Taste is citrusy and with some soft perfume fruit notes on the back end. Dry finish. This is a decent witbier, but not amongst the best.

Can: Poured a light amber color ale with a medium size foamy head with OK retention and not much lacing. Aroma of light bitter hops with lightly sweet caramel malt. Taste is also a mix between some light bitter hops with lightly sweet caramel malt. Body is way too light for style with good carbonation. Light body with almost no hops presence makes for a beer I won’t be seeking again.

Can: Poured a clear medium amber color ale with a medium foamy head with OK retention and no lacing. Aroma of caramel malty with light sweet notes also noticeable. Taste is a mix between some clean cereal with light sweet notes and some semi-dry caramel malt notes. Body is average with good carbonation. OK overall though nothing really special.

Can: Poured a golden color ale with an average size foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of light sweetness with non-descript cereal taste. Taste is quite bland with light sweetness notes with some unrefined grain notes. Body is heavier then expected for style with good carbonation. Nothing here that is exciting enough to make me want to have this again.

Bottle: Poured a golden color ale with a medium foamy head with average retention and no lacing. Aroma of cereal and unrefined grain is tolerable. Taste is also composed of a mix between some lightly sweet cereal and some unrefined grain. Body is about average with average carbonation. Probably one of the least interesting beer form this brewer.

Bottle: Poured a yellow color lager with a quite big pure white foamy head with good retention and some good lacing. Aroma of light floral malt with sweet undertones is pretty tames though exclusion of any adjunct notes is welcome. Taste is also a refreshing mix between some light floral notes with a lightly sweet tone and some light dry hops. Again, no adjunct were detected which is quite satisfying. Additional hops presence would have been welcome though still a refreshing drink overall.

Canette 473ml. De couleur ambrée et claire. Nez de grains de malt légèrement rôtis, moyen de caramel sucré, léger de houblon herbeux aux faibles notes résineuses ainsi que des notes de biscuits et des traces de légumes bouillis. Moyenne-légère en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture aux petites notes huileuses. Légère amertume de houblon herbeux (herbes fraîches, présent toute la gorgée) accompagné de faibles notes de légumes bouillis sucrés lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute rapidement un goût de grains de malt légèrement rôtis (notes brûlées) avec moyen goût de caramel et un léger goût de biscuits puis en finale l’on retrouve des traces de fumée de bois et l’amertume de houblon revient en force en étant plus asséchante, plus herbeuse (notes de foin) et aux faibles notes résineuses. Post-goût moyen et aux notes sèches, moyen-léger amer de houblon herbeux avec un léger goût de rôti.
