Metalchopz Profile

Oh wow - big tropical fruit aromas with passion fruits and papayas! Mid-hazed, golden colour with orange highlights, a big creamyish white head, good retention and lacing. The fruitiness continues in the taste, but with a blending citrus-zesty touch to add some dryness in the finish. Hints of vanilla lingers with the citrusy juicy-zest. A juicy, lightly oily mouthfeel overall. Quite a refreshing NEIPA with more tropical notes (passion fruit, papaya) and the citrus balancing things in the end.

7.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 7.5 Texture 7 Overall 8

Clean, mid-golden colour with a white cap, average retention and just a ring of foam. Some good herbal hoppy nose with a little malty spiciness. Then, the yeast really comes out. A crisp mouthfeel with a little stickiness, and mild dryness. Again, some good spicy notes in the flavours with the blending herbal hoppiness, and the Riwaka brightning up things. A good, refreshing German Pilsner with a New Zealand touch.

6.6/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 6.5 Texture 6 Overall 6.5

Clean, amber colour with a warm beige head, average stay and lots of foamy-soapy lacing streaks. Big malty aromas with a blend of caramel, and spicy one - almost like rye, all mixed with some grassy hops. A wet mouthfeel with some decent dryness in the finish. The caramel malts really show in the taste, with less hoppiness to help out. Thankfully, the drying end is nice here and a tad wood comes out. A decent California Common that packs a malty, caramel punch.

7.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 7.5 Texture 8 Overall 8

Medium-hazed, golden-amber colour with orange highlights, a white frothy head, good stay and lots of sticky lacing streaks. Big zesty aromas with oranges, grapefruits with a touch of pineapple and some good grassiness. Some good bitterness in the taste as well, with hoppy-grassy notes, orange-grapefruit zests and a tad witbier in the background. Quite a bitter, hoppy, drying IPA with the Witbier kind of lost - but a nice brew anyways.

Infinito from Emporium Microbrasserie

7.8/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 8 Flavor 7.5 Texture 8 Overall 8

Hazy, golden colour with a light orange hue, a whitish head, good stay and some cloudy lacing spots. Mild pineapples in the aromas with citrus, tropical fruitiness, all blended with some nice fresh herbal. Some good citrusy notes in the flavours, with quite a nice punch of their zest, bitterness, creating nice dryness in the finish. Hints of red berries in the background, but mostly grapefruit zestiness and grassiness. A nice, kind of refreshing NEIPA, but with a twist towards drying bitterness in the end.

Saveur de Clown from Brasserie du Bas-Canada

7.9/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8

Blackish, with some slight copper-ruby highlights, a warm mocha-beige head, and a ring of lacing. Roasted malt aromas with coconut notes, a touch of dark fruits and Bourbon. A slick mouthfeel, a little oily with some dryness in the finish. Big raisin flavours with the Bourbon blending well and a tad coconut, vanilla, woodiness. Goes down smoothly, and the alcohol is fairly well-hidden - hints of warming. Another good strong beer that is barrel-aged, but almost seem more Imperial Stoutish than Barleywine.

Vas Florarium from Brasserie du Bas-Canada

7.6/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 7.5 Texture 8 Overall 8

Hazy, golden colour with a white cap, decent stay and bigger spots of soapy lacing. Orange, tropical-stone fruits in the nose with a touch of white grapes. A wet mouthfeel with a slow building dryness, and tad tart left on the tongue. Flavours of citrus, melon and just hints of white wine. Not bad, but almost feels like a lighter NEPA.
