Olfactif: Définitivement céréalier, avec des notes de pain blanc sortant du four et de subtiles notes d’herbes aromatiques découlant d’un houblonnage discret mais présent. Visuel: Blonde / dorée, d’une limpidité remarquable. La mousse est cependant petite, effervescente et fuyante. Aucune trace sur le verre. Gustatif: À l,entrée de bouche, les saveurs maltées sont en action avec du pain frais, un léger caramel, des traces de miel, ainsi que de bonnes notes de grain et de céréales. Une légère amertume herbacée lui donne une finale franche. Une excellente lager dans la plus pure tradition des lager Allemandes.

Can: Poured a bight golden color ale with a medium size pure white foamy head with good retention and some light lacing. Aroma of clean cereal notes is pleasant enough. Taste is mostly dominated by cereal notes with light grainy notes and a dry finish. Body is about average with good carbonation. Nothing spectacular here but enjoyable nonetheless.

Draft: Poured a light hazy yellow color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma consists of nice floral hoppy notes with light flower scent also noticeable. Taste is also dominated by nice fresh floral notes with some resin and herbal notes also perceptible. Body is pretty full with great carbonation. I just absolutely love the floral aroma in this one and I think they should put this in can ASAP so I don’t have to chase down those uber-rare IPA anymore.

Draft: Poured a clear deep amber color ale with a medium size foamy head. Aroma of citrus notes with light caramel malt notes is quite pleasant. Taste is also dominated by some citrus hoppy notes with a semi-sweet caramel malt backbone. Nice floral notes with limited bitterness. Body is about average with good carbonation. Pretty enjoyable overall and something they should release as a seasonal.

Draft: Poured a clear black color ale with a light off-white color head. Aroma consists of light roasted malt notes with some piney hoppy notes. Taste is also dominated by roasted malt notes and some piney hops with light citrus undertone. Body is a bit light for style with good carbonation. Pretty enjoyable example of the style and something they should be putting out as a seasonal.

The first lager for this brewer and comes in cans (use to buying their brews in bottles). Pours a light golden colour with a frothy white head, good retention and lots of foamy lace. Smells like a Euro lager at first pour, but then the freshness disappears and grain and adjuncts appear. The taste is metallic with the grain taking over, thankfully, to linger a bit. Was expecting a better lager from this brewery. Will stick to their ales for my sessions.

La note de passage, sans plus. La coriandre est très subtile et on goûte quand même un peu le grain et les agrumes. Bière de soif...
