Clear red-brown beer, off white head. Dry palate with a soft creamy touch. Sourish marmite tinged malt. A brief fruity sweet note and then a failrly alcoholic - licorice finish. Alright but not quite joined up.

Pours orange-tinged amber into a snifter. Bright white head with good retention leaves spider lacing as it recedes to coat surface. Aroma of sweet autumn leaves. Crisp with upfront apple turning to a dry, earthy bread finish.

Pours bright yellow with little head. Aroma of dry cardboard, the same as any other macro pils out there. Flavour is a sour grass and cardboard mix, that foul taste of lemon and paper that you get from pretty much any bottom shelf beer. Except this stuff is pricey in Québec, about three bucks a 500ml can, which just kinda sucks. It’s not particularily lame, just generally lame overall.

Warning! Early amateur rating! Strong beer, thickish palate. Sweet undertone. Nothing complex but drinkable for it’s abv.

Funny I hadn’t seen this at all in Paris, so perhaps that means it’s "export quality"? Ha! Has a massive head with a nice hue of gold in the body. Aroma is cedar and hazelnuts. Taste is a modest mix of yeast and hops, classic French bière de garde style but very simple. Not bad, not great. This one would be good for the cellar to see how it ages.

At a tasting, thanks Oren, big stable thick head, hazy rusty orange to light red colour, flowery perfumy aroma with some white fruits, malt and hay. malty bready flavour with a touch to strong bitterness and just a touch of sweetnees to counteract but not enough, a little unbalanced.

Re-rate 7/9/14: Bottle sample at a tasting at kerenmk’s place. Thanks Vova. Candies, fruits, sweet, a bit of cardboard. 5/3/5/3/10=2.6
Bottle at a tasting. Thanks Oren. Clear amber with a white head. Aroma of malt, caramel hints and some fruitiness. Sweetish flavor with malt, a bit of fruitiness, alcohol and mild bitterness in the finish. Medium-bodied. Not bad and doesn’t feel like 8.5% but lacks some character. 6/3/6/3/13=3.1

Bottle, vintage 2010. Clear golden with a medium, fluffy white head. Aroma of fruit, yeast, spices and some floral notes. The same in the taste, also some white bread. Dry and drinkable, better with age?

Peculier Pub, NY NY ($8): Pours a hazy reddish color with an off-white head; sediment is present (apparently that is what Biere de Lie means). Nose is caramel, fruity, woody, and so much more. In other words, a complex and nice aroma. Taste is quite good. The alcohol is covered up very well. Brown sugar and fruitiness is present in the flavor, along with a solid malt backbone. Dry finish it seems.Interesting and quite good.
