Thanks to Phil for this one. Why the pitiful score? The body is cloudy gold to amber, quite effervescent, with a tall white head. Aroma is fruity, chewy, buttery, a bit of plastic. Flavor is yeasty, light bitter, honey, bubblegum aftertaste.

Bière nommé: La Distincte à 5% de type pale ale. Couleur plutôt rousse et légèrement brouillée. Présence de mousse très faible. Amertûme présente, cependant avec un arrière goût à la finale.. Pas le meilleur produit de maitre brasseur.

341mL bottle, courtesy of wickedpete. Thanks, Pete! Pours a bright, clear orange-amber color; light tan head with solid retention and medium-bubbled lacing; a gorgeous pour. Pleasant, dry, toasty aroma: toasted malts, cereal, breadiness, and mineral bitterness. Medium mouthfeel: sweet malts / sugar, yellow fruits, and toasty grains; basic dry, chewy maltiness; very drinkable, reasonably dry, and tasty overall; pretty underrated right now. Medium finish: fruitiness, toasty grains, and mineral bitterness.

(341ml bottle, thanks wickedpete) Large off-white head atop cloudy amber body. Aroma is medium sweet, yeasty, some biscuit, light peach. Taste is medium sweet, yeasty, some biscuit/grain. Effervescent light-medium body.

Labeled "La Distincte", bottle courtesy of Hogtownharry, thanks buddy! This golden/blond ale pours decidedly deep and hazy copper with brown hues, and topped with a slightly off white foam. The nose is awash with fruit (apple, white plum), straw, and a strange yeasty, grainy aroma that really dominates all else. The flavour profile is quite fruit forward, and reminds me of juice. Sweet white plum and white grapes with doses of granny smith apple. This beer is also quite yeasty and earthy and almost seems gritty due to the yeast. Pretty bland and watery, no real hop profile, just a sweet fruity beverage with alcohol. Mixed reviews leave me to believe that there might be consistency issues here? In any event, I am glad I got to try it. My experience with Quebec micros is limited. Thanks Harry!
