Bottle: Poured a clear yellow color ale with a small pure white foamy head with OK retention. Aroma of grainy malt notes with light grapes undertones is quite unique. Taste is also dominated by unrefined grainy notes with some grapes undertones and a dry finish with little residual sugars. Body is light with medium carbonation. Herbal notes are also detectable. Interesting experience for sure but not necessarily something I would drink on a regular basis.

From a pounder can this beer looks very light, refreshing and sparkly. Somewhat mild sterile aroma. Lots of cutting co2 on the palate at first. Taste is a little disappointing for a blonde beer, at least initially. Flavor is a kindah difficult fer sure. Rather rude processed nature about it, but its still drinkable because of the co2. Gets a tad easier to drink as the session continues but it reminds me a bit of that slight gag urge I get from drinkin my home made cider. Unique for a beer, fer sure. Just don’t know what to think of this millet, corn and sugar beer.

4-pack of cans from my local Métro store. Pours a clean ruby-copper colour with a foamy-fizzy, small-bubble, beige head, average retention and some decent lacing. Fruity aromas of apples, grapes, cherries and pears with hints of alcohol and spices. The taste is unfortunately not as good with notes of weird cereal, almost metallic. Gets a little better with time with some of the fruit that comes back, and the apples that linger. Not as good as their APA and IPA, but still an interesting brew and the best brewery so far for gluten-free beers.

After the disaster of Golden Ale and APA let’s try this one with no expectations. Best before 01.12.2014, so just in time... Opening it, made a mess on the table as it exploded out as usual... pour pure cream expanding into a massive foam, this time i did it smart and used a very large tulip. Smell is alcoholic already with apple and hoppy notes, actually the american hops thing is pretty inviting. Light orange color, hazed, under a massive creamy head, american hops on the nose. Well aroma isn’t that bad either, sugary grains resembling caramel and decise hops, yeast here and there. Taste is mild sweetish with a decise hoppy finish. Short finish, incredibly low carbonation as how excited it was, medium bodied still being quite watery.
Would say surprisingly that this does taste somehow as an IPA, the lemony/grapefruity hops is there for sure, i’ts lacking the malty backbone and has a weird appleish edge i don’t like, but being this a gluten free one, can’t say it’s marvelous but they sure put some effort into this, hence bonus points for this.

4-pack of cans from my local Métro store. Pours a clean golden colour with a bubbly white head that stays a while and creates foamy lacing. Fresh hoppy nose of grassy notes. Hints of pine, fruits and Belgian yeast candy. Decent hop in the taste as well with medium bitterness. Nice dry finish. Again, hard to see that this brew is gluten-free. This brewery really knows how to brew the best beers in this range.

341 ml bottle. Pours a brownish red with a small, short lived, tan head. Roasted malt aroma with caramel and nuts. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, caramel and nuts with a slightly dry, bitter finish. Medium body with a watery texture and fizzy carbonation. Pretty tasty for a gluten free beer.

Plutôt claire, avec un parfum floral, de houblon fraîchement cueilli avec un petit quelque chose de désagréable que je n’arrive pas à identifier... L’amertume est puissante et étrange en fait. C’est aqueux, mielleux et on décèle un beau soupçon de pomme verte qui masque à peine un arrière-goût métallique. Pas pour moi ;-(

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out floral hops, some citrus zest, and dry crackery malt. Flavour is quite hoppy, with piney and citrusy hops, with some floral notes, and a very thin dry crackery malt backing. Had I not known this was gluten free, I probably wouldn't have picked up on it, but confirmation bias makes me think there is something slightly different here. All in all though, this is a well-brewed IPA. Nice stuff.
