Clean, golden colour with a smaller, off-white frothy head, decent stay and leaving spots of foamy lacing. Getting some milky-vinous aromas with notes of raisins, white grapes and a touch of citrus. The grapes continue in the taste with some pink grapefruit notes. The mouthfeel is crisp and the drying is milder in this one. Gets a slight hazed as it pours and passion fruit flavours do come out. An easy Pale Ale with lots of fruitiness, and less grassiness.

Des houblons aux allures d’agrumes s’imposent au nez dès le départ. On y perçoit également des traces de conifères et de résine issue du dry-hop. Les accents maltés sont cependant très discrets. Liquide brun clair avec des reflets cuivrés. Limpidité presque parfaite. Mousse assez épaisse, crémeuse et bien persistante. L’entrée de bouche se veut légèrement fruitée avec une touche très subtilement caramélisée et chocolatée. La fin de bouche est très houblonnée et amère, mettant en vedette des notes de conifères, d’agrumes et de résine qui trainent longtemps dans le fond de la gorge. La base maltée est plutôt en sourdine mais assure quand même un profil sucré qui s’allie bien au fruité tropical des houblons. Une Brown ale puissamment houblonnée dont l’amertume entre en confrontation directe avec la douceur des éléments maltés. Je dirais plus que nous avons affaire avec une Brown IPA qu’une Brown Ale Américaine.

Deep golden colour with a bunch of flakes floating around, looking like a glass snow globe. The head is light beige, frothy, becoming creamy with good retention and leaving creamy-foam lacing. Big West Coast style IPA nose with grassiness, caramel malt base, decent cereal grains and a touch of honey. Flavours of pine, grassy hops and mild caramel. The mouthfeel is slick, a little oily and some decent building dryness mildly shows up. Hints of citrus do show up with a tad cane sugar. A nicely drinkable Double IPA that has a little more West Coast style, and not overly dry.

Very slightly unfiltered, golden colour with a white head that stays quite long for the style, and nice lacing is left on the glass and brew. Straw malt base with a very fresh, herbal and mostly citrusy hop. The taste shows the citrus again, with a nice blend of juices and zest. Quite a nice, refreshing, citrusy milder ale, but not what I know of Bitter. Almost more like a nice NEPA than a Bitter - which I prefer anyways.

Hazy, golden-amber colour with a white cap, good stay and lacing. Orange juice aromas with some tropical fruits hints. The mouthfeel is juicy, wet but gets to a nice drying feel in the finish. Some fresh orange juice flavours with a touch of mango. Herbs linger. A nice, refreshing juicy Cryo IPA that offers citrus and tropical fruits.

Lightly hazy, golden-orange colour with a big frothy, warm-white head, good retention and creamy-foamy lacing. Herbal-grassy aromas on the West Coast style side, with a caramel malt base and hints of citrus. In the taste, seems like the East Coast style comes over top with the citrus zest, some of its juices and just a tad grassiness in the finish. Soft mouthfeel with a drying end, but all quite refreshing. A tad tart left on the tongue. A nice Double IPA that blends both coast styles very well and goes down nicely.

500ml (thx, Marc-Olivier L.!) @ Ryan's. Appearance: hazy golden with a white head. Aroma: nice rustic notes, grapes, oak. Taste: taste is less prominent, everything is muted, some weird tartness, some lacto here. Overall: ok, I wish it would be on par with others.

Poured from 500mL bottle. Hazy blonde gold with quickly dissipating white head. Chardonnay and seyval vinous notes, a bit of tart funk, doesn't come together nearly as nicely as the Marc de Marquette et Frontenac Saison Macérée. Okay.

500ml (thx, Marc-Olivier L.!) @ Ryan's after kids' time and crazy busy 6 am to 10 pm work day. Appearance: cloudy golden with a white head. Aroma: nice funk and rustic notes. Taste: along the same lines, less intense than aroma, though. A bit of lacto. Overall: pleasant enough.
