Tallboy at Town in Ottawa. Hazy nearly opaque dull yellow goldenrod pour with big head. Aroma is rich tropical fruit hops with yeasty farminess. Yum. Taste follows. Bright! Juicy. Farmhouse. Really tasty. Big rich palate too.

Growler: Poured a pale bright yellow color ale with a large white foamy head with good retention and light lacing notes. Aroma of floral hoppy undertones with some fruity ester and some light melon notes. Taste is also a mix of subtle hops notes with nice floral undertones touch and light fruity notes with subtle residual sugar notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Solid beer with nice subtle touch of hops and very limited bitterness.

Growler: Poured a clear golden color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of tart notes with light mango notes is pleasant enough. Taste is mix of light mango notes with some tart notes and some light grainy notes and fruity ester. Body is about average with good carbonation. Not bad but missing a little bit of balance.

A hazed golden saison with a thin white head, lacing. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with pungent piney hops, tropical fruit, light Brett, light lactic notes, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity malt with loads of tropical fruits, guava, citrus pulp, floral resinous hops, very nice and refreshing. Mini growler from the brewery.

Can, 473 ml, via Philippe Boutin (merci!), savoured on April 4 2016; eye: golden, slightly hazy, no effervescence, white head that turns into a ring, average lacing; nose: pine, citrusy hops, slight malt, grapefruit, slight “old socks”; mouth: pine, citrusy hops, slight malt, grapefruit, slight tangerine, mild astringency, dry finale in pine, medium body, rather carbonated, rather bitter, slightly sweet, harsh texture; overall: fine FRANÇAIS Canette, 473 ml, via Philippe Boutin (merci!), savourée le 4 avril 2016; œil : dorée, très légèrement voilées, pas d’effervescence, mousse blanche qui se transforme en un anneau, dentelle moyenne; nez : pin, houblon citrique, très léger malt, pamplemousse, très léger chaussons; bouche : pin, houblon citrique, très léger malt, pamplemousse, très léger tangerine, astringence moyenne, finale sèche en pin, corps moyen, plutôt carbonatée, plutôt amère, très légèrement sucrée, texture râpeuse; en résumé : bien

Celle-ci me semble un peu terne et il n’y a pas de date d’embouteillage... L’effervescence est très faible et le 90 IBU n’est pas perceptible. On goûte bien le seigle et c’est bien malté. Appréciation: mitigée.

Growler: Poured a light golden ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some minor lacing notes. Aroma of unrefined grain and light hoppy notes is not as pleasant as I would have liked. Taste has light unrefined grainy notes with some light citrusy hops notes with some bitter notes in the aftertaste. Body is about average for style with good carbonation. There is something slightly off with the malt bill that didn’t work out for me with this beer.
