Golden coloured body with a nice, four centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of honey, yeast, bananas, bubble gum and a touch of coriander seed. Medium-bodied; Very noticeable honey and yeast flavours up front with a big effervescence and a strong grassy and malt quality from the wheat, right behind. Aftertaste shows a bit of sweetness from the honey, but this is a large wheat and yeast flavoured beer. Overall, a nice beer with a good yeast quality and complexity, yet still available at a convenience store! I sampled this caged and corked 75 cL bottle purchased from a Couche Tard in Montreal, Quebec, Canada for CA$7,09 sampled in my hotel room a few minutes later on 13-February-2016 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Coke brown with cloud, off-white head reducing to a ring. Very fruity nose of apple, prunes and a little tomato. Sweet taste, again fruit heavy, dried raisins and prunes with mild caramel malts. Fairly clean finish, just a little barely-there bitter, molasses and prunes.

Le dégustateur précédent a fort bien résumé mon appréciation de cette bière... Les pruneaux et la cassonade sont bien en évidence et c’est bien soutenu par le côté malté et le houblon parfaitement dosé. Ma préférée de ce brasseur!

Surprenant produit de ce brasseur... La couleur et la mousse sont superbes pour le style.

After having their Mons Abbey Rousse, trying this one to see if really different (even though one an ale and this one a lager). Right off the bat, seems pretty close. Deep amber, warm cap, long lasting with foamy lacing. Same toast aromas over the roasted and caramel malts, with less fruitiness. The taste is malty (a little nutty) with some light sweetness. Hints of chemicals, more in the nose than flavours. A little tart in the finish, but no floating yeast like the other. Nothing worth having again.

Pours a deeper amber colour with a big frothy warm cap that stays quite long and creates thick foamy lace. Aromas of toast, caramel malt, berries, light alcohol and lots of other dark fruits (dates, raisins, etc). The taste though is deceiving. Watered-down toasted malts and not much else. Becomes hazy at the last pour with yeast floating around. This gives a little life in the flavours with some light fruit. Looks great, smells good, but taste is not there to back it up.

Bottle: Poured a clear copper color lager with medium size foamy head with OK retention and some lacing. Aroma of dry caramel malt with light cereal notes. Taste is also dominated by light dry caramel malt with light cereal notes with some light biscuit notes. Body is light with medium carbonation. Nothing special and not that close to being great for the style.

En olfactif nous avons du pain grillé, du caramel, une touche de cannelle et de petits jujubes. Puissance faible et atténuation rapide. La couleur est ambrée, tirant sur le brun, avec une petite mousse très effervescente, qui ne tient aucunement. L’attaque laisse entrevoir des traces de mélasse et de caramel, avec une finale effervescente et herbacée. Traces de cannelle et de bonbons. Effervescence vive. Saveurs surtout maltées avec un bon équilibre de soutient des houblons. Correcte sans plus.

Pours a hazy light-golden yellow colour with lots of tiny sediments floating around. Big creamy-froth white cap with great retention and lots of lacing. Aromas of spicy Belgian Ale yeast, light grass and mostly fruity malts giving orange notes (hints of bananas). Pretty much the same for the taste, with lemon citrus notes with the orange. Crisp, with some decent bitterness and dryness. Not too much, but quite well-balanced in the mix. Glad to have tried this.
