Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Hazy deep blond color with medium sized compact head. Fresh aroma of fruity and resiny hops. There is a slight difference in the flavor, as it has a mild grainy character and a herbal/chamomile touch, but it’s very good; powerful hopping with plenty of hop quality. More body than expected. It has a light animal character in the final.
Excellent.

34 cl bottle, 5.5%, 2.90€. Almost exploded while opening, pours 100% foam, nasty cider smell. Holy crap a beer with such enormous head never seen before, just ridiculous, can’t get the glass filled in 10 minutes, pure soap, absurd. Copper color, partly hazed with particles. Undefined flavor, with faint grains and a load of green apple peel dipped in brown sugar. Fairly fruity with an unrefined hops counterpart. Tastes like homemade-kit brew, taste itself is acidic. Yuck. Maybe good for a gluten free, but i didn’t like it at all.

Des épines de sapin dominent l’olfactif avec un fond de céréales, du sarrasin peut-être. Des notes d’agrumes, de pamplemousse sont également présentes. Visuellement, c’est pâle par rapport à une IPA traditionnelle. C’est très clair également. Blonde / dorée. La mousse est petite, mais assez dense. Persistance moyenne. Les traces sont cependant absentes. En attaque, les sucres sont assez efficaces en entrée de bouche avec des notes de miel, puis ils laissent place à une amertume bien sentie avec des notes de conifères et de gazon mouillé. Surement en présence d’un houblonnage à cru. La finale est très amère. En bouche, l’équilibre sucre / houblon est assez réussi. Une bonne IPA , assez standard. Toujours surprenant de constater que cette brasserie est passée maître dans l’art de fabriquer de très bonnes bières sans employer d’orge.

Draught, St Augs. Light amber. Toasty, with fruity hop. Light, bit thin, lots of hop. Herbal, almost sharp bitterness. Brown rice taste towards the finish. Lots of hops. Wow, gluten free has come a long way.

Bottle: Poured a clear bright golden color with a small foamy head with OK retention. Aroma of light Chinese basil and dry white wine notes is very interesting. Taste is also dominated by Chinese basil notes with Sauvignon notes also identifiable with a slightly weird grainy finish. Body is somewhat full with an oily texture and good carbonation. I get what they are trying to achieve and I love the fact that they are pushing the boundaries but I thought the malt bill was slightly off.

An orange amber ale with a thin lacing off white head. In aroma, sweet caramel, lightly roasted, very "malty". In mouth, rather sweet cloying caramel, maple essence, coriander, dark fruit, molasses, alcohol warmth, interesting but a bit too much for me. On tap at Baril Roulant.

Olfactif: Beaucoup d’érable avec des notes de rhum. Beaucoup de notes d’érable; sucre à la crème, sucre d’érable. Super puissance des arômes. Visuel: Dorée / ambrée, claire, un tout petit filet de mousse qui fuit très rapidement en laissant à peine quelques points blancs sur le verre. Gustatif: On sent bien le mélange céréales (sarrasin) et sirop d’érable en entrée de bouche. Les notes sont d’épeautre, de sarrasin, avec beaucoup d’érable (beaucoup trop) , une légère touche de café et bien entendu, le vieillissement en fut de rhum.La consistance est épaisse, liquoreuse et l’effervescence faible. Est-ce une bière ou une liqueur à l’érable? Difficile de la classer. Elle ravira certainement les palais sucrés, mais les puristes de la bière n’y trouveront certainement pas leur compte. pour ma part, je vais la considérer comme un bon digestif sans plus.

Bottle @ home. Well, I’m curious what this will bring. The gluten free beers I’ve had in the past haven’t been very good so hopefully this will change things. Clear orange golden color, huge white head. Aroma has some hoppy notes, but a bit faint. Taste is pretty bitter with a decent hoppyness. Lightly floral as well. A bit too much carbonation imo, but otherwise a decent beer. Probably the first gluten free beer I’ve finished.
