COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A copper-colored beer, a jewel scintillating in your glass, complex hop aromas, malt up the ying-yang and an aftertaste which endlessly proliferates a wise mix of hops. In short, the exact contrary of a "Dry". The "With Aftertaste" mentioned on the bottle is not an error in marketing judgment. It is a voluntary and defiant, non-traditional piece of counter-marketing. A kind of warning to "Dry" lovers; "Don’t touch this! This is not for you!" In the future, we may only indicate "With taste", which could be more precise and less defiant. All in all, you’ll love it.

Bottle, thanks to after4ever! Pours a clear reddish amber with a thin off-white head. I got distracted and didn’t keep all the notes on this one. But I do have numbers.

330. Thanks, glouglouburp! Ruby red amber with very slim grayish film. Big woody nose. Medium body, soft carb. Woody, somewhat caramelly, resiny. Very dry and piney. Dryest IPA I’ve ever had, and easily the best dry IPA I’ve had. If there’s anything I’ve learned this weekend about Quebecois brewers, they make sure to make their beers as unique and distinct as they can while making them as well as they can make them. And they all seem to have *really* cool-looking labels.

UPDATED: MAR 8, 2008 Bouteille 341 ml ipa brassée chez St-Arnould. Couleur orangée avec une mousse qui tient très bien. Arômes de citron, lime, pamplemousse et caramel. Goût de caramel doux qui se fais renverser solidement par le houblon et se termine avec une amertume tranchante très agréable qui persiste. J’aime beaucoup ce type de bière

Orange-copper, small head, quickly falling. Nose of grapefruit, earthy hops hints of caramel, not very complex. Flavor is very bitter, lacks some balance of the malts. This is their most recent release (decembre 2007), but it feels as if it is a little oxydized. Mouthfeel is a litlle oily, the finish lacks precision. Long aftertaste, not very pleasant. Decent.

12 ounce bottle from the Festivus Guy. Pours red with a dirty white sticky soap bubble head. This is one of those crazy malt forward IPAs. The nose is buttered over cooked biscuits, a touch of caramel, and earth, dirty hops. The flavor is biscuits and bread, with a nice smack of pine bitterness. Medium body. Oil. Medium carbonation. A bit of sweetness in the finish. I enjoyed this beer more and more as I drank it. Thanks Festivus Guy.

12 oz bottle sampled thanks to drewbeerme. Pours clear amber orange with a small white head. Aroma is really malt with citrus, grapefruit, toffee and a slightly sour. Malty flavors (a little biscuity and toasted). Citrus, piney resin, tannic, and tart. Decent beer.

Pours a clear amber color with white head. Has hints of caramel, sweet hops, citrus, spice. Finishes with a yeasty hop taste on the tongue.
