355ml can that pours what looks like a clear, dark brown colour with ruby highlights, a nice creamyish warm-beige, good stay and some foamy lacing streaks. You can definitely smell the fresh, herbal-licorice gin notes from the barrel that gives hints of mint and wood. The roasted malt base is there as well, and in the flavours. The taste is milder than the aromas, but having a tad molasses and licorice. An easy, black lager with nice notes from the gin barrels that make it a bit more special.

473ml can, which is weird for collaborators Hermite - as they like their 355ml cans, and two of five cans in this 5th year anniversary are 355ml. Using two hops (Golding and Triple Pearl) which are usually spicier, but rice as the grain to calm this down. I feel the yeast comes out a touch more. A tad herbal nose with hints of wet socks. The taste shows a little more herb-grassiness creating decent dryness in the end. Fairly clean, very light golden-yellow colour with a frothy-bubbly white head, average stay and some good foamy-soapy lacing-ring. Some notes of apples, pears, but all-around an easy-drinking rice Pale Ale with a yeasty feel, and mild dry finish.

Olfactif aux accents céréaliers incluant du maïs. De couleur paille, le liquide est bien limpide et se couvre d’une mousse abondante, rocailleuse et persistante qui laisse une belle dentelle sur le verre. En bouche, c’est également le maïs et les accents céréaliers qui dominent dans une palette gustative plutôt restreinte. Les houblons sont faibles mais on y dénote quand même de légers accents herbacés et épicés. Le corps est plus ample que la plupart des bières de ce style et la texture est onctueuse. Un peu plus goûteuse que la plupart des exemples commerciaux de ce style mais, elle reste quand même sans grand intérêt. O:5.83 V:5.0 G:6.15 C:3.15 G:11.7 T:31.83

Arômes céréaliers, fruités et épicés avec notes de poivre, de clou de girofle, de poire, de banane, mettant en vedette les éléments de la levure. Un col assez mince et effervescent se dépose sur un liquide ambré parfaitement limpide. L’entrée de bouche se veut épicée mettant bien en évidence les phénols de la levure puis, la palette se décline rapidement en une amertume tranchante, herbacée, frisant une certaine âpreté. Les phénols poivrés sont bien présents mais le fruité est ici déficient. Les houblons sont bien présents mais n’amènent que de l’amertume. La finale est très sèche et les houblons s’étalent en arrière-bouche avec une certaine astringence. La carbonatation est assez vive et surprenante pour une Nord-Américaine et le corps assez léger également. J’aurais préféré une meilleure exploitation du fruité des houblons Américains. Et, la grande amertume n’y contribue certainement pas. O: 7.06 V:3.08 G:7.05 C:4.09 G:13.5 T:34.78

Slightly hazed, bright golden-yellow colour with a warm, off-white frothy head, decent retention and leaving nice streaks of foamy lacing. Alcoholic nose with some mild bitter grassiness, tropical notes, floral hints and even a tad bubblegum. The taste is less boozy, with decent citruses, tropical fruits and a herbal touch. Refreshing mouthfeel with some slow building dryness that does not get too extreme. An interesting NEIPA that is somewhat juicy, milder all-around and with these three hops from Quebec giving a different stance than Vermont - with a tropical-bubblegum blend.

Oh wow - such a beautifully smelling beer! Fresh, herbal notes, quite unique with hints of spiciness, grassiness over the tad caramel malts. The hops continue nicely in the taste with the grassy-herbal flavours. The Strata hops offer a touch of mint, the Chinook pine-grapefruits and the Idaho 7 some stone fruits. Lightly hazy, bright light-golden colour with a good frothy white cap, good stay and mild lacing. Quite an amazing twist on the West Coast style IPA that is very delicious, and a good start to these 5th year anniversary brews.

Olfactif aux allures tropicales principalement mais développant également des notes terreuses, résineuses ainsi que de subtils esters aux accents de fruits rouges. Liquide doré pale et partiellement voilé se couvrant d’une mousse rocailleuse qui persiste bien. Entrée de bouche légèrement tropicale et citrique mais qui se développe rapidement en amertume terreuse et résineuse qui se maintient jusqu’en finale. Des notes citronnées rappelant le zeste contribuent à accentuer l’amertume tandis que la base maltée reste faible et n’apporte pas beaucoup de sucre et de rondeur. L’équilibre est tout à fait dans les houblons à l’amertume intense. Bien amère cette West Coast. O:7.2 V:4.75 G:7.25 C:3.25 G:15.4 T:37.85

Clean amber colour with a light beige bubbly head, decent stay and lots of soapy lacing spots left. The aromas remind me of a Pilsner with the spiciness, maltiness and the amber side of this beer brings some fruitiness to mix it all. The taste has a touch of sourness with the darker-fruity malts. No spicy notes here though. A tad grass-herbal which comes out eventually. Hints of wheat-bananas all-around. Get a little hazed as it pours. Not sure if infection in this one, but probably my least favourite from this brewery.

Nicely hazed for a light beer, bright light-golden colour with vivid carbonation giving a big white frothy head, good retention and chunky foam lacing left. Beautiful fresh, hoppy aromas for the style, with the Hallertau hops giving a flowery nose, but also getting some nice citrus notes in here and some fresh herbs. The mouthfeel is thinner, as the style should be and the taste is milder. Still, some decent corn notes, a floral touch with some herbal hints. Definitely does not look like a light beer, and way more punch for one from a microbrewery.

Cloudy pinkish colour with a red hue a creamy light-pink head, good retention and loads of lacing. Guava aromas with a touch of blackcurrant. Hints of vanilla, pretzel comes out with time. The taste has some decent sourness with the two fruits. Light tart lingers on the tongue. A crips mouthfeel with a little dryness in the finish. A well-balance fruity sour beer with the guava and blackburrant nicely blended.
