2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
En bouteille. Couleur ambrée. Une fois versée, petite mousse blanche évanescente. Pas beaucoup de bulles. Au nez, la présence du malt s’articule autour de notes plus florales et de légumes cuits (tomate ??). Les saveurs sont plus ou moins définies : maltées, herbacées, caramélisées. Arrière-goût chimique désagréable. Bizarre.

A golden ale with a thin white head. In aroma, light malt with boiled vegetables notes, a bit of black pepper. In mouth, a nice clean ale with some belgian overtones, fruity esters, not bad, veering on RJ products. On tap at St-Bock, Dec. 26 2009.

341ml.bottle. The color is a clear amber hardly any head. The taste of malt and spicies and fruits are noticeable.The aroma is very light.As a Belgium ale this one falls short of its aim.

Draught. Mondiale 2009 - day 2. Clear light amber with a small creamy white head Light grain and mild citrus aroma, detectable alcohol. The taste follows: simple, grain, mild-to middlin’ alcohol and dry citrus zest. Light bodied, but crisply carbonated, a not-inappropriate quick finish to boot - perhaps lacking a Belgian yeastiness, but refreshing and clean.

341ml bottle, with an amber color and a white head, yeasty, fruity ripe apple, spicy cinamon nose, with some light smoky, metallic, kind of sulfiric, with a taosted, biscuity malt accent in the aroma follows through on medium-bodied palate with a yeasty, grainy, toasty, biscuity malt,faint fruity character of ripe apples, with a metallic, sulfuric, vegetable taste, leading towards a malty, fruity, faint nutty, lingering hop bitterness finish.

Draught at Les Brasseurs De Montréal, Montréal, QC. Pours a clear golden-orange with a small diminishing creamy white head. Nice aroma of malt and citrus along with some light hops. Mild but decent flavour is malty with light herbal hops, fruit and a hint of spices and herbs. Medium bodied. An O.K. version of the style.

[2230-20090605] Tap. Bit of wheatie floral yeast in the aroma. Clear, orange amber body with a long-lasting foamy white head. Tea-like grainy wheat yeast and solid malt in the flavour. Medium body. Nice, malty and good.

Bottle. Invading strange sourness that leaves a displeasing aftertaste. Bitterness is fine but the maltyness and the spicyness are not to my liking. Les Québécoises sont pas mal plus intéressantes que ça. Et elles n’ont pas cet étrange arrière-gout...
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
341 ml bottle in a 12-pack from Trappe a Fromage, served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass. JN25/09.
App.: Clear amber with a decent light tan foam.
Aroma: Kinda vegetal, nasty and burnt, stark and earthy, some very light vague fruitiness.
Palate: Medium body, fairly light effervescence.
Flav.: Better than the nose, lightly fruity, a little bitter herb, kinda dank, a touch tangy, not great; kinda sweet with a little bitterness, light vegetal malt.
Failed.

Bottle from Dépanneur Rahman. Pours a clear ruby brown with a medium to large light beige head. Grain and sweet herbs on the nose, and some very sweet smelling citrus fruit, pineapple mostly. Medium bodied, slightly thin though… lots of grain, and a bit of cardboard. Finishes up with a little more grain and… well, a lot of nothing. Just empty at the end. Started off rather promising, but fell off rather drastically.
