3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 blankboy (4434) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - FEB 15, 2008
Draught at Le Saint-Bock. Pours a clear yellow-gold with an average size diminishing white head. Mild but nice aroma and flavour of hops, grain, plenty of fruit, mild sweetness and caramel malt. Medium bodied. A good version of the style, I enjoyed it.

Pours a clear golden color with a thin white head. Aroma and flavor of citrusy hops and malt with a bitter finish. The body is medium with a creamy texture and lively carbonation.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20 Rastacouere (5918) - Montréal, Quebec, CANADA - OCT 25, 2007
Clear, very sparkling golden ale topped by a lasting white cover. An excessively clean example with soft pale malt flavours that are owned by the insistant, well-put floral, fruity, leafy hop profile. Not very bitter, but confident aromas. A bit too easy and too carbonated for me to want to drink a whole pint, but remarkably well constructed and clean for such a young brewery.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 Glouglouburp (4772) - Montreal, Quebec, CANADA - OCT 22, 2007
In short: Kind of a cross between a Bitter and American Pale Ale. Crisp and hoppy. Nice session beer.
How: Tap (pint) at Vices & Versa
The look: clear golden copper body topped by a long-lasting medium off-white head
In long: Crisp body with crisp caramel balanced by a hefty amount of hops. The hop profile is of the type “mix-bag” (dry and grassy, citrusy, floral and leafy). I’d even say that the balance is a bit towards the hops in this one, it would have profited from a heavier caramelized body. The carbonation is very lively, maybe a bit too much so. Overall a pretty nice beer that shows potential to be even greater. Ok, I’m someone who can enjoy a good rodeo but it doesn’t mean that I suddenly find my little cousin attractive.

Bu en fut (10 oz) à Vices et Versa. Blonde dorée, mince collet. Arome d’hoblon très doux, de petits fruits et d’agrumes légés. Goût d’houblon un peu amère, quelque petits fruits et un soupson de noix. Une APA simple et agréable!
