(75 cl) Le liquide a une robe légèrement dorée. La tête blanche s’estompe rapidement. Quelques pointes de dentelles restent collées au verre. Le nez perçoit des parfums de fruits exotiques et des arômes de fleurs fraîches. Les céréales semblent être recouvertes de notes assez douces. Au goût, les fleurs de houblons et les notes citronnées dominent. En bouche, le corps est de moyenne densité avec une effervescence normale et une texture légèrement huileuse. La finale se fait sur des notes amères, fraîches et sèches.

My Bottom Line :
Mangoes, oranges, passionfruit and pineapples bloom from this dry American-style Pale Ale’s hop signature, as expansive bubbling and a characterful cereal blend (millet, quinoa, buckwheat) create an even more distinctive signature.

Further Personal Perceptions :
-A sheet of foam tops the misty blond.
-The cereal personality makes for an intense finish with the sustained green hop resins.
-Squash-like undertones stem from the unusual grain bill.
-The grain bill is not nearly as soft as malted barley can be, but for a gluten-free beer, this is exceptional.
-The bubbles are too prickly and intense for my taste, hindering drinkability somewhat.
-This is way too expensive for a quencher, but it remains very competently executed.

11.09.02 sampled @ bieres et saveurs A: citrusy , grapefruit App:hazy blond T/P: med body bitter finish long. O: good nice intro for this brewery.

At Succursal brewpub in Montréal. Distinct aroma of elderflower. Taste has some elder as well as some yeast notes but aftertaste is pleasantly floral while yeasty

A golden amber ale with a thin white head. A nice floral hops in aroma, wuite decent. In mouth, a light dryish beer with decent floral hops, a bit lacking in roundness but for a gluten free, quite nice. On tap at Bieres et Saveurs 2011, Sept 3 2011.
