Blend 61, packaged DEC 12 18. Pours a clean golden colour with a fizzy white cap that actually has a longer stay than expected. Wow! There is so much going on in the aromas. Saison base with the citrus notes, some fruitiness and leafiness from the raspberry leafs. Very nice herbal scents as well adding some spiciness. Some sourness in the flavours with the light bitterness in the finish. Gets hazier and hazier as it pours from the 750ml bottle. This is quite the complex brew. Very, very nice.

Pours a slight hazy ruby-reddish colour with a fizzy pinkish head, decent stay compared to their other barrel aged sour gold beers. Some bubbles stick a-round the rim, and here and there on top. Did not know about these haskap berries, but berries is what takes control in the nose over the sour base. The taste shows the sourness with the berries being more in the background this time. Woody notes, tart and tannins sticks to the tongue. Just a little bit. Wish the berries were just a tad stronger in the taste.

Enjoyed at Taproom 260, right before everything closed down for Covid-19. Hazy brown colour with a frothy coffee-coloured looking head, good retention and some spotted lacing. Aromas of chocolate, caramel malts and hints of salt, vanilla. The taste features the chocolate malts with the salt a tad stronger, but some bitter hops in the finish, blending the vanilla. The mouthfeel gets quite dry. Interesting, as more bitter for a Beau's, especially for this style. Something I would expect more from Beyond the Pale. This makes this one more drinkable, than the richness and sweetness expected.

Pours a light-hazed red colour with a ruby hue. The head is pinkish, fizzy, leaving quickly but leaving a thin bubbly coating on top. Big vinegar nose with red wine and balsamic ones. Hints of currant. The taste reflects the same with the sour vinous flavours and the currant fruit lingering. A little tart, but not much. This is a good aged sour beer with a mild touch of currant, if you are into this.

750ml bottle that pours a hazy, light-golden colour with a big frothy, almost creamy white cap, good stay and some foamy lacing. I do love that the El Dorado hops cover up the Brett earthiness a little. It is the same in the taste, with a hoppy grassiness over the wild yeast. The barrel does not give out as much vanilla like others, but seems to calm the Brettiness. I do like this beer, as it seems to use the hop in the right way. Different, hoppy, not too earthy and dry enough. Well brewed !

500ml bottle from Beau's, Blend #103, packaged on 09/18/19. Pours a dark brown colour with copper-ruby highlights. Small mocha-coloured bubbly-frothy head, decent stay and a ring of tiny bubbly foam. The red wine vinegar sourness is big in the nose, over the roasted malts, and other red wine notes. The taste shows less this vinegar action, and shows the roasted malts with hints of wood from the barrel. I must say that the mouthfeel is quite thin for such a heavy alcohol content. Not heavy, not syrupy. Goes down nicely, and some dryness comes in the finish. Getting some vanilla notes from the oak with time. Still, not getting the oily, thicker Imperial Stout feel though. Disappointed in this one, as was expecting so much more.

Clean (gets very cloudy at last pour), rich amber colour with a red-ruby hue. The head is fizzy, beige, leaving quickly with just a trace of tiny-bubble ring. Sour nose with mostly balsamic vinegar notes. The cherries are in the background, bringing some sweetness, fruitiness to the rest. Some woodiness does come out from the barrel fermenting, and this in the taste as well. Again, the vinegar adding some tangy, sourness and the mild cherry flavours help having a shorter finish, which is fine. Just like their great normal, non-cherry version, this is pretty good. Just wish the cherries would be a tad punchier.

Can that pours a hazy light golden-yellow colour with a bubbly white cap, average stay and leaves a thin bubbly top. Beautiful grapefruit aromas of juices and peel. Fresh and sparkling. The taste is less vibrant with a mild citrus juices and hard to feel what beer base this is. Feels natural at least and some light yeast stay on the tongue. Goes down nicely, just wish it had more bite in the mouth.
