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...

Bottle: Poured an hazy amber color ale with a large foamy head with light retention and minimal lacing. Aroma consists of grainy malt with some weird apple and cranberry notes which don’t really mix well together. Taste is a weird mix between some apple an cranberry notes with light residual sugar notes mix in with some grainy malt which results in an off –tasting beer. Body is quite full with good carbonation. Quite a mess overall and something I would stay far from in the future.

Évaluation no.46 Décembre 2010. Aucun nez. Ambrée / cuivrée avec une mousse assez persistante. Attaque de malt bien sentie avec notes de caramel. Très bien équilibrée mais manque de diversité dans les saveurs.

A malty slightly spicy red ale, the color’s a nice amber pour with an ok head. Had this on tap all over Montreal in college. A good switch from the Blonde. Solid butnot terribly exciting.

On tap a few summers ago at Biftek on St-Laurent. At that time it was a new release that was only on draft-they were testing the waters with this IPA which was a decent first try. Copperish color white head. Hoppy but after the West Coast hop bombs I got used to trying much milder-more similar to Brooklyn’s East Coast IPA.----update ----- bottle. Boreale IPA the aroma is much hoppier than before - citrus and light pine. A light copper color. The taste is a clean hoppy bitterness with a decent malt body. A good everyday IPA.
