3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 probstblueribbon (2378) - Nepean, Ontario, - NOV 15, 2012600 ml bottle from the brewery via Lubiere, served almost cold in a tulip glass.
App.: Very cloudy deep golden with a fair, rocky white froth.
Aroma: Beau’s rustic, a touch bright/tangy, some fairly aggressive peppery, spicy, green peppercorn notes, a bit of light maltiness, a touch yeasty, hints of esters and alcohol.
Palate: Medium+ body, full, somewhat creamy effervescence with a few prickly bubbles.
Flav.: Beau’s rustic graininess, fairly present grassy, peppery hops, a bit of yeast, faint Belgian yeast characteristics, a hint of alcohol; dry with surprisingly good bitterness and a somewhat peppery/grassy, slightly rustic finish.
The Beau’s “house” aromas and flavours don’t always appeal to me. Beyond that, I don’t mind this beer. Good attempt.

500ml bottle. Unfiltered honey colour, big, creamy eggshell coloured head. Body looks kind of oily. Aroma is citrus, tropical fruit and peppery. Taste is tropical citrus up front, with a punch of hops on the finish. Body is light and refreshing. Overall, edging towards a Belgian IPA.

Bottle, Oktoberfest mix pack 2012, thanks Kristi! Dark hazy yellow, large white bubbly head. Really interesting aroma of pineapple and mango - very sweet. Floral notes as well, awesome.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 VT (796) - Quebec City, Quebec, CANADA - DEC 15, 2012
600 ml bottle. Pours a mostly clear golden with a resilient white head. Smell is yeast, floral hops. Taste is very sweet, vanilla cake, lemon. For a Belgian-style, I must say it seems a bit lackluster on the buds...Finish is lots of bitterness, lemon, grapefruit, earthy, white wine. Very sharp bitterness, very solid. Great finish, strong, but not overwhelming. Foamy mouthfeel, light bodied. Average carbonation. I don’t know about it being a "Belgian-style", but it definitely fit as a Pale Ale.
