Atlantic au Pineau

Dégusté avec french tickler le 4 mai 2007. Clear golden poor with lots of effervescence and a thin foamy beige head. Aromas of cask, caramelised malts, the sweetness from the pineau des charentes and a slight twist of ginger. Way to sweet, very syrupy... almost artificial... 99% sweet, 1% other... serious lack of balance in this beer. Very soggy tasting and fad.

Golden ale with a thick white head. Lightlysweet caramel aroma, notes of oxidation and apple puree. In mouth, a sweetish corn adjunct malt with apple juice, cloying sweetness in beginning. Light bodied. Bottle from LCBO about 1 yr old.

33 c; bottle. LCBO. Soft golden bubbly stuff with kind of a nondescript sweet taste. Light and juice-like flavors emerge. Aroma some slightly metallic hops. Overall decent but no biggie.

33 cl. Bottle. Clear golden colour with a weak head. Malty aroma with notes of grain and maize. Very sweet flavour with fruitness and again sweet malty. Ends up sweet.

Light golden, almost chardonnay like hue, with a white foamy head. Light pinapple aroma. Sugary pinappley taste. A bit thin really with nothing much else to note. Completely forgetable.

Pale golden colour with a fizzy white head. The nose is grassy with a bit of candyish sweet malt and sugar. Iron notes in the nose as well. The body is a cardboard cookie with sugar sprinkled on top. Sweet is all there is, too sweet even for a cognac beer. Not good.

This pours sparkling gold into the chalice. The head and lacing is cloud white, and looks very creamy. Pineapple aroma, musty basement, tropical fruit, lots of yeast. This is very sweet. A sipping beer for sure. Lots of sweet fruit juice, pineapple, pretty yeasty, sugar, a touch of sauvignon blanc. This is too sweet for me to have any more than one, and it is a bit of an effort. I can see the use for this, but it does not appeal to me.

Light golden with an Ok head. The aroma is sweetish, perfumed and fruity. The flavour is sweet, perfumes and artificially fruity. A peculiar beer. 2056
