Originally rated November 2007. Purchased at a convient store in Chelsea, Quebec under the name "Cap Espoir". Pours a cloudy gold-orange colour with a decent off-white creamy head. Retention is average with a little lacing. The nose is quite hoppy and the mouthfeel, watery. Lots of spices in the taste, but not too punchy. I also taste orange throughout the flavours. Not much of an aftertaste, but decently brewed beer that is still refreshing (and pleasant to most) for a Belgian ale.

Originally rated July 2008. Thanks to Driss for bringing this one back from Quebec City. Pours a clear amber colour with a slightly creamy beige head, that is not too small, and not too big, but stays a little while, and leaves no lacing. Beautiful aromas of sweet malt, caramel and bread. Medium-bodied with no alcohol burn. The taste is pretty well-balanced, with mild bitterness, sweet caramel malt and the bread. I kind of like this one.

Originally rated November 2008. Thanks to Driss who gave me one of these. Had tried it a few times, but never reviewed. Pours a beige-orange colour that is cloudy. Small white head that does not leave much. Unibroue smelling Belgium white yeast. Pretty refreshing for a Belgian ale, with a crisp mouthfeel. The taste is good, but should be more powerful. Has the characteristic of a witbier, but with less citrus action. A nice attempt from RJ Brewers to make an ale like this, and try and get the mass market drinkers into better beers.

Caramel malt, some spiciness in the tail end and a hint of smokiness that as it warms turns into like an ashtray-like aspect.

Almost no head, boring yellow-gold body. Soft redneck beer aroma. Flavour isn’t bad, it’s a plain lager with just a hint of fruit perfume. Dry finish. Hard to pick out of a crowd, but okay.

Pours with a modest white head and a very yellow carbonated body. Soft aroma of fake wheat beer adjuncts and hops. Flavour is a whole lot of nothing; nonexistent! Mouthfeel is nice; very drinkable, only because there’s nothing as you drink it.

Purchased a 6-pack of these, this Christmas at my local convenient store. Pours a clean amber colour with a big creamy-fizz off-white head that lasts a while and creates decent lacing. Carbonation is composed of lots of tiny bubbles. Sweet malt aromas with some spices (very mild cinnamon) and hop. Mild caramel and corn taste with a slightly bitter finish that is kind of dry. The spices are lightly present to hide the corn. Not sure why they say "Bavarian Bock" on the back label, and filtered to the max, but still a decent brew for winter.
