Dégustée au printemps 2016 (De mes notes). .

Plutôt terreuse celle-ci, plus minérale que ce à quoi je suis habitué... J’aime bien l’étiquette, c’est la plus jolie de celles que j’ai pu voir de leurs produits. La bière est assez sucrée, les malts sont bien en place et l’ensemble est harmonieux. C’est juste pas un style que j’affectionne particulièrement.

roma of milk chocolate and espresso is quite nice. Flavor is strong on the oats with hints of chocolate.

Bottle: Poured a clear pale yellow color ale with a nice large foamy white head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of light corn notes with dry hoppy notes with not as much flavours as I was expecting. Taste is a mix of light corn malt notes with some dry hops notes with light Sauvignon notes. Body is light with good carbonation. Not bad but Nelson Sauvin hops did not come through as much as I was expecting.

Bottle: Poured a clear dark copper color ale with a nice large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of light smoked cherry wood with some dry toffee notes is quite exquisite and well balanced. Taste is also a good mix of cherry smoked flavours with some dry toffee notes and some caramel malt notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Very solid mix of style with well-balanced flavours.

Bottle: Poured a clear light golden color ale with a light foamy head with OK retention and no lacing. Aroma of light sour notes is refreshing. Taste is a mix of tart notes with light cereal notes also detectable. Body is about average with medium carbonation. Not bad but I have seen better example of the style.

Bottle: Poured a deep clear copper color lager with a nice off-white foamy head with good retention and some light lacing. Aroma of caramelized malt notes is more powerful then I was expecting. Taste is dominated by sweet caramelized malt notes with some light cereal notes also discernable. Body is about average with good carbonation. Not bad but caramelization level was higher than I was expecting and a bit too much residual sugar for the style IMO.

Bottle: Poured a cloudy pale yellow color ale with a nice large white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of coriander and light orange peel notes with wheat malt is refreshing and enticing. Taste is a nice mix of coriander, orange peel with some wheat malt with balanced residuals sugar notes. Body is full for style with good carbonation. Very well brewed for the style.
