Can: Poured a clear golden color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of fresh grapefruit notes with some light wheat malt notes is quite enticing. Taste is a refreshing mix dominated by fresh grapefruit notes with some wheat malt notes and light floral undertones notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Very refreshing beer with grapefruit notes front and center.

Can: Poured a clear light brown color ale with a large off-white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of light caramelized malt notes with some light fruity hops notes is pleasant. Taste is also a mix of caramelized malt notes with some fruity hops notes and a light dry finish. Body is about average with good carbonation. Enjoyable and quite drinkable but not what I was expecting from Nelson Sauvin hops.

Bottle: Poured a clear brown/copper color ale with a large brown foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of caramelized malt with some light candi sugar notes and some earthy hops notes is quite pleasant. Taste is also a good mix of caramelized malt notes with some light candi sugar notes and earthy hops with a dry finish. Body is about average with good carbonation. Enjoyable but closer to a dubbel due to age of the bottle.

Le Nelson Sauvin prend toute son ampleur en olfactif nous donnant de belles notes de vin blanc sur un fond de céréales de seigle. On dénote cependant l’absence de coté caramélisé et fruité typique à ce style. De couleur ambrée cuivrée et très limpide, elle développe une bonne mousse rocailleuse qui se maintient assez bien. En bouche, le Nelson Sauvin s’y éclate encore laissant une finale âpre et sèche. Des notes de vin blanc assez calcaires s’étalent du début à la fin ne laissant aucune place aux autres saveurs dont notamment celles issues des sucres du malt. L’amertume y est bien entendu dominante et astringente, persistant de longues minutes en fin de bouche en donnant une impression herbacée intense. Le corps est moyennement léger et la carbonatation moyenne. L’astringence agressive du houblon utilisé fait en sorte de surclasser toutes le autres saveurs dont notamment ce doux coté caramélisé typique des Red IPAs. Désolé, ça ne m’accroche pas.

Bottle: Poured a clear deep amber color ale with a medium size foamy head with light retention and limited amount of lacing. Aroma of oak notes with some sweet malt notes is OK. Taste is also a mix of oak notes with some residual sugar notes and caramelized malt notes. Body is full with medium carbonation. I found this version a bit cloying and not as interesting as the standard version.

Bottle: Poured a gold color ale with a large white foamy head with good retention and good amount of lacing. Aroma of dry hoppy undertones with some sweet Begian style malt notes is quite enticing. Taste is a nice mix of dry hoppy notes with some floral notes offsetting some of the sweet Belgian style malt to create great flavours. Body is about average with good carbonation.Excellent Belgian IPA that should be made available more often.

Bottle: Poured a slightly hazy bright yellow color lager with a large white foamy head with good retention and some light lacing. Aroma of bright floral undertones notes with some citrus notes and juicy notes. Taste is a great mix of juicy notes with some citrusy hoppy floral undertones with a smooth malt base with light residual sugar notes. Body is full with nice creamy texture and good carbonation. Super enjoyable IPL that should be brewed more regularly.
