1.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 5/20
500 ml bottle shared by Lubiere (merci!), served cold in a goblet. 10AP10.
App.: Hazy dirty olive-amber with a fair off-white foam.
Aroma: Peppery, acidic, aggressive, infected, spicy, strangely fruity, sour, funky, messy, awful.
Palate: Medium body and full, round effervescence.
Flav.: Nasty organic acids with a strange fruitiness, odd nuttiness, metallic (d’oh!), awful; kinda sweet with inappropriate (infection) bitterness and a weird, nasty finish.
Horrific.
1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
Bottle shared by Lubière, Merci!
Hazy, dirty olive amber with medium head. Aroma is acidic, vinegary with strange fruits and pepper. Flavor is acidic, astringent, and modest bitternest with cardboard, metal and some fruits. Awful!
Sampled with Lubière, Probstk and Mike.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
A hazed amber ale with a thick lacing light moka head. In aroma, bad peppery hops, light band-aid, some weird fruit pulp. In mouth, a harsh and astringent ale, with light fruity esters, and loads of metal....science. Tasted with Diogene, ProbstK and Mike H., April 10 2010.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bouteille 500ml. De couleur brune et voilée. Nez fruité (prunes, traces de mûres), malté de caramel aux notes rôties avec des notes de houblon herbeux et de chocolat. Moyenne-mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture légèrement crémeuse et aux petites notes huileuses. Goût de levures fruitées (prunes rouges, petites traces de mûres et de cerises noires) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût malté de caramel aux notes rôties (faibles notes terreuses) ainsi que de faibles traces de chocolat noir et de pain puis en finale l’on retrouve une légère amertume de houblon herbeux (herbes mouillées) avec des petites traces de noix. Post-goût moyen et aux notes sèches, légèrement amer de houblon herbeux avec des traces de rôti ainsi qu’un léger goût fruité (pelures de prunes).
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle: Poured a light amber color ale with a large off-white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of light prunes and with light caramel malt notes as well. Taste is not as intense as expected with light dry fruits and some caramel malt with a somewhat dry finish. Body is lighter then expected with good carbonation. Lacking character but definitely not as bad as what I tasted form this brewery recently.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Forte odeur d’épices. Peu de mousse, légère dentelle. Un goût un peu acre.
1 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 4/20
The Metal Science is from the Mad Science collection brewed for L’Impact in Quebec City.
This is a Strong Brown Beer with Prune.
The pour shows good carbonation with a dense beige head, good retention. The beer is copper in colour and shows some cloudiness. I’m still looking to find some prune on the nose, it has more of a yeasty aromatic profile. The beer is thin, no prune in the mouth neither, some yeast (belgian probably), some bitterness. This beer missed the mark and need more prune caracter, or don’t mention it on the label.
