tiggmtl (4169), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Jun 21, 2005 Clean, grainy, cereal malt nose is lightly bready. Clear copper with a low, off-white head that lasts and laces. Mild grainy and bready malts with some light herbal and spicy hops and gentle finishing bitterness. Medium-light body with lively effervescence. A difficult to nail style done very competently - perhaps a touch more munich/vienna malt would bring this to the next level. Sampled at the Mondial de la Bière 2005.
Quevillon (1273), Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec, Canada Feb 7, 2006 Bu à la Mondial de la Bière 05. Bon petit goût de noix et caramel, assé légé, plaisante. Lubiere (3184), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Jan 9, 2006 Red amber ale with a thick off-white head. Light sweet caramel malts in aroma. Rather bland caramel malt in mouth, with notes of nuts, no hops. Overall, boring. Mondial 2005. muzzlehatch (4425), Burlington, Vermont, USA Jul 1, 2005 Sample at the Mondial, from bottle (I think). Some fine lace on the sides of the hazy copper-gold liquid-filled glass...caramel and wet tree branches in the herbal, subtle nose...smooth, slightly thin body full of dry herbs, fairly sweet at the front and dry and lightly bitter to finish. beerbuzzmontreal (2697), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Jun 8, 2005 Sampled at le Mondial de la bière 2005.
