draft - Pours clear deep copper with an off-white, lingering head. It has an extremely mild aroma. The flavor is sweet and grainy with a hint of caramel. It’s bubbly, light, and watery on the palate with a mild hop finish. It looks good and then it’s downhill from there.

Originally rated January 2008. Bought a 12-pack of Boréale to get this one as a freebie. Later, at a different store, I noticed that you can buy this one as a 4-pack. Come in a single box, and says limited edition. Pours a deep brown-red with a big beige creamy-fluffy head with quite good retention. The lacing left is pretty solid too. Nice red ale malt scent with some decent hop aromas, and some notes of nuts and caramel (toffee). Medium-bodied with a little stick, a little syrupy but not much more. Sweet flavours, but not too strong. Mild plum, roasted malt, caramel, grain and a beautiful soft hoppy finish. Nothing too crazy here, as all Boréale beers, but always right for a comforting night or session.

Thin head on top and a clear yellow-gold body like a bad lager. Aroma is lemon flavoured cleaning detergent, but not quite - in fact perhaps more like your sister’s bathroom if she has been using lemon hair products, or lemon Pledge..... you get the idea. Flavour is perfumy hops with a lemon finish, and enough carbonation for it to evaporate on your tongue. Very light that way; and when taken in a certain light it wouldn’t be so bad, but most of the time, sadly, it would be.
