Aroma:light spicy..... Appearance:clear orange,huge withe head... Flavor:spicy,light bitterness,watery.No apple flavor....

Un verre de dégustation. Une bière plutôt blonde surmontée par un mince col mousseux. Un nez de cidre pétillant et d’épices. Bizarre. Un goût de cidre pétillant et d’épices. Bof. Une bouche plutôt mince, soutenue par un mouvement vif des bulles. Une finale qui permet de découvrir un alcool qui soutient quelques notes florales. Sans intérêt pour mes papilles.

On tap, 5 oz sample, aged 7 months IIRC. Light blond pour, a bit of quickly vanishing fluffy white head. Smells like cider with some cinnamon, a bit too fruity. Taste is sweet, lots of apples. I could have used some more spice to balance out the fruity sweetness. This one did not live up to its event counterparts.

On tap at the brewery. Biggest head I ever saw, by far. Good retention, rather big lace, and poured pale amber/dark golden. Aroma is mainly apple and alcohol. Taste is apple, cinnamon. Surprisingly, it wasn’t really acid -- thanks to oats, which aren’t really obvious at first but was probably added as a Rolaids or something. Close to cider territory -- really, but really low carbonation. I think that was on purpose. Kinda faint finale, but rather long. (The palate grade is 3, but it could really be a 4. I seldom say this, but carbonation needs to be a little higher...). A good one. Just don’t expect an apple pie, and don’t really expect a "beer" actually, because that’s as far as a cider that a beer can get.

BQ2010. Draft at Bedondaine in Chambly. Pour is medium gold with minor haze. Sweet aroma. Flavor is bland. Some hints of apricot or perhaps other fruits.

Tasted this beer while on Beer Quest 2010 with the guys. This was beer number 58. Pour is medium gold with minor haze. Sweet aroma. Flavor is bland. Some hints of apricot or perhaps other fruits.

@ pub 20 Oz, it take guts to try something like this. Excellent nose, remind my of great apple pies, the spice mix use is well put.

Dégustée en fût au brouepub. De couleur dorée-ambrée et claire. Nez moyennement épicé (cannelle, traces de muscade) et fruité (pommes) avec des notes de pain et de céréales ainsi que des traces de houblon herbeux. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture aux notes sirupeuses. Goût moyennement fruité (pommes, petites traces d’agrumes) et épicé (cannelle, faibles notes de muscade) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût de pain et un léger goût de grains de céréales avec des traces de miel et de caramel puis en finale l’on retrouve un très léger goût d’alcool ainsi que des notes de houblon herbeux et floral. Post-goût moyen-court,, légèrement amer d’alcool doux avec des notes de houblon herbeux et de fruits (pelures de pommes). (automne 2006)

Sample tray. Gold. thin head. Quiet starting scent builds with with apple and cinamon notes. Light beer with apple and cinamon flavour. Like a spiced mead more than beer.

In short: A very bland and basic fruity cerealic golden ale.
How: Tap at brewpub. Aged batch released on 2009 Grands Crus event
The look: Clear blonde body topped by a little white ring of foam
In long: Shy fruity nose. If it wasn’t for the fact that the descriptions says it is brewed using cinnamon I don’t think I would have noticed it. Taste is basically soft white bread dipped in apple juice and a touch of honey. I don’t know where the apple juice flavour comes from but it is there. Hops contribution is subtle to say the least. Smooth round body and tickling carbonation. Not tasty and rather boring. This is an item on Bedondaine that I will try to avoid from now on. Bedondaine et Bedons Ronds Brocoli.

au fût sur place, bière dorée avec un nez agréable et doux de cannelle, bouche légère de cannelle discrète et un peu de pomme.
