Sampled draught at the Mondial. Very very pale bubbly blonde with smallish head...sweet tarragon and vanilla, almonds impinge on a pleased nose...the tongue feels great gobs of sugar, and light tingly herbs amidst the milky-creamy liquid...light fruits (apples) appear towards the finish, the effervescent body carries the day.

Dégustée en fût au Vices & Versa à Montréal. De couleur jaune dorée et semi-voilée. Nez de levures fruitées (agrumes), épicé (gingembre, traces de coriandre), léger de blé et avec des notes de houblon floral et herbeux. Moyenne-mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-élevé ainsi qu’une texture légèrement crémeuse. Goût épicé (gingembre présent en arrière-goût durant toute la gorgée, traces de coriandre) acccompagné d’un moyen goût fruité (agrumes, surtout citron) et de traces de vanille lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un moyen goût de blé aux notes asséchantes et un léger goût malté de grains de céréales avec des petites notes mielleuses puis en finale l’on retrouve une légère-moyenne amertume de houblon herbeux (herbe fraîches) aux petites notes florales. Post-goût moyen, léger de blé avec une légère amertume de houblon herbeux, des notes de levures fruitées (zest d’agrumes) et d’épices (gingembre).

Cloudy yellow pour with a thin white head. Decent aroma and flavor of wheat, lemon and grassy hops. The body is light to medium with creamy texture and moderate carbonation.

On tap at Vices&Versa, hazy yellow hue, with a white head, fresh cut hay and herbals nose, with a citrus fruitiness, ginger and faint vanilla spiciness notes, a mild sweet honeyish accent, with a subtle breezy salty sea pale malt aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a crisp zesty gingery spiciness character, with a citrus fruits accent, hint of vanilla, pale malt, faint herbal floral hops accent, leading towards a fruity lingering mild gingery finish.

Pleasant aroma suggests tarragon, vanilla and thyme in fresh pastry dough.Clear, pale gold body has a shy, thin ring of white head. Lactic, creamy, grainy flavour is mild with some pleasant spices in the finish and some mild fruity esters. Overall quite sweet but not unpleasantly so, and never cloying. Light, refreshing body with soft carbonation that is gently effervescent on the tongue. Sampled at Mondial de la Bière 2005.

2005 draught at Mondial, 6/4/05. Hazy blonde beer, with a whispy white head, well retained with some lacing. Aroma of fresh herbs, mint, thyme, sage and some dusty and thick yeast. Light honeyish malt as well. Flavor is heathery and dry, not sour or cereal-like. A light vanilla and honey-almond malt in the background with aggressive spicing up front. A bit of acidity on the end, bits of floral notes and a medium body. Light and fluffy on the palate, not watery or thin. Refreshing and gruit-like, though a lighter malt it has. Elegantly simple, and a pleasant drink.
