Originally rated December 2006. Purchase at the Dépanneur Rapido in Aylmer, Quebec. Pours a cloudy light beige colour with a small white head that disappears rather quickly. The lacing left is quite wavy. Its nose has a metallic water aroma at first. After breathing a bit, it goes away to show the wheat, banana, yeast and bubblegum scents. Flat mouthfeel, but thick enough in the mouth. There is something about the taste (just like their bitter I just had), that is similar. Starts off real mild and get funkier for the finish. Very light banana bread and wheat. Not offensive, but nothing too special. Still, nice to find a new brewery... and hope that they continue progressing.

bouteille brune de 341 ml, bière très troubel on dirait de l’eau corrompu, mais bon le nez sent la levure banané, bouche acide passablement désagréable, je ne pensais pas la terminer

Orange-amber in colour, long lasting white coloured creamy head, good lacing. The aroma is predominately of apples, some wheat, some lemon citus. The flavour is lightly yeasty, light spice, creamy, apples and some pear. Creamy mouthfeel, medium/light body, medium carbonation. Finishes with some peppery spice, medium length. Lightish, a bit watery but all the while refreshing just a little boring.

341ml bottle from <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/quebec/g target=blank>La Trappe a Fromage in Gatineau, Quebec for $1.99.
Purchased on July 6, 2007 and opened on November 4, 2007.
No best before date.

Bottle -341ml. Golden hazy body with low carbonation and a fair white foamy head. Good malty aroma with bready hints. Its malty/hoppy taste carries some yeasty notes. Ends with a decent bittersweet finish. Good effort.

Bouteille. De couleur jaune dorée et voilée. Nez de levures fruitées (bananes, agrumes), de blé, légèrement épicé (clou de girofle, léger de coriandre) avec des notes de pain, de gomme balloune, de caramel doux et de houblon herbeux. Moyenne-mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture légèrement crémeuse. Goût de levures fruitées (bananes et agrumes) avec un goût épicé (clou de girofle, notes de coriandre) et des notes de gomme balloune lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût de blé légèrement asséchant accompagné d’un goût de pain et avec des notes maltées de caramel doux puis une finale légèrement amère de houblon herbeux (notes de foin) et de levures avec le goût de blé légèrement asséchant toujours présent (traces de poivre). Post-goût moyen et un peu sec, légèrement amer de houblon herbeux et de levures avec un goût de blé et fruité (pelures de bananes et zest d’agrumes).

Bottle: Poured a deep hazy whitish yellow color weizen with a very small head with limited retention. Aroma of banana bread is quite enticing but there is also a cardboard element which is really gross. Taste of weak wheat malt with some nice enough banana bread component is unfortunately dominated by gross cardboard beer. Body is above average with some very low carbonation. This beer is without doubt oxidised which is surprising since I was told that this was a recent batch. I might need to re-rate in the future.
