Bière blonde limpide ayant un beau col mousse digne des publicités de bière. Arômes de CO2, de gaz quelconque, de flatulences et de salade de fruits en conserve. Goût de...commercial. J’ai de la difficulté à mettre le doigts dessus. Si on sort des chips en regardant le hockey ça passera bien. Entre ça ou une Molson, j’prends quand celle-ci.(156-310112)

Orange copper with a thin carbonated quick dissapearing light head. Hops and yeast smell. Thin light body. Yeast, and cardboard taste.

pours a light amber color with thin, but long-lasting head - even some lacings on the glass. medium carbonation. aroma is somewhat metallic - fresh welding? medium body with some noticeable toasted malt. a faint hop bitterness. finish is quite smooth - turns into a fairly typical macro brew. Despite its name, would make a great summer session beer.

341ml bottle. It was slighty better than an average macro brew. C+ Had this a few years ago and it wasn’t memorable.

pours med-dark golden, orange tint, with a small white head, good retention and lacing. some toasted and caramel malts, fruity, hint of sweetness, still a dry and short finish. light hopping (much more than expected) - herbal and slightly citrusy. slightly weak malt structure. average carbonation, light body. high drinkability. probably the best of the "regular" belle gueule line.

Bottle; clear golden with medium off-white head; aroma-caramel, orange and something floral; taste-mild sweetness and bitterness, moderate carbonation. Overall a decent lager with more hops than expected but still smooth.

Bouteille 341 ml. 5.2%. Couleur ambrée pâle, mousse blanche-beige pâle. Arôme de malt et un peu de caramel. En bouche, des notes de malt, houblon et en finale une très légère amertume. Une des meilleure Belle-Gueule.

This is probably the better Belle Gueule beer. I prefer Boréale brews over Belle Gueule, but when this one comes out for the winter season, I always like to have a few. Clean light amber-copper colour with a foamy head that dissipates quickly and leaves a little lacing. Nice grainy scent with some mild spices. Reminds me of rye cereal. The taste is pretty similar. What I really enjoy about this beer are the spices. Nothing too crazy like most Christmas beers, but just there to supe-up the taste of their regular brews.

Has a nice robust aroma and presents well, but the overall taste is terribly thin.

Draft sample at a Poutine place on Old Montreal. Nice refreshing beer to go with lunch. Nothing special.
