COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
An original marriage between barley and grapes. The blush head of this "vine beer" and its deep red color, hide its complex structure and distinc flavor of cherries, blackcurrants and raspberries. The malt softens its tannins, giving its aging potential.

Looks just like a blush wine. Awful almost carcinogenic aroma. Mouldy cheese cloth, stinky and baaaaaaaaaaaad. Is this a gueuze? Filthy dirty cardboard, apple, odd berries a bit of candy when warmer. I’m going to consider this as a gueuze. Interesting taste I guess: berries, club soda, yeast, horse blankey, sour cherries, bark (goes surprisingly good with wasabi peas)... ick. It has an odd fizz and the thinnest thick ever. Tart, very tart thoughout. I seems that I really enjoyed this beer and then really hated it and then repeat. Long sour blanket finish. It’s legacy is terrible ghastly breath.

UPDATED: AUG 15, 2011 Un grand verre de bile extra tannin. Je veux pas trop basher mais c’est pas vraiment buvable. Au suivant.

IPALover (63) - Carlsbad, California, USA - JUL 24, 2011
Appear: light red (like a blush wine) with a small white head that doesn’t persist Aroma: Very much like a red wine (tannins), dry cherry, no hops or malt character Flavor: How a barley-based wine cooler would taste. Very much red wine character with noticeable tannins and only subtle background malt character Mouthfeel: Light body with medium/light carbonation. Dry finish and a tannin-like astrigency persists Its very hard to judge this beer because their is no style that cooresponds to it. If they were trying to make something like a barley-based wine cooler ... damn they nailed it. Fruity (cherry), tannins from wine and light/dry so is refreshing on a hot day.

MXD (295) - Gatineau/St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec, CANADA - JUL 1, 2010
UPDATED: JUL 4, 2010 ...That was probably worst than "Rêves de Vigne", which tells a lot. I wondered, back in the days, if it would have been better if I would have drunk it at a wine-like temperature... But I finally gave up and flushed the whole stuff.

Gethinbeer (1561) - Musky, Nova Scotia, CANADA - MAR 30, 2010
Cherry colour with a thin white lace, Thin metallic aroma and cherry. Very refreshing ale. Hints of cherries, raspberries and mixed fruit in the flavour. Very subtle. Thin body. Would like a bit more body. Gets better as it warms.

Viper666 (1210) - Saint-Hubert, Quebec, CANADA - OCT 16, 2009
Bouteille 500ml. De couleur rouge et voilée. Nez de fruits aigres (cerises sûres, notes de raisins), léger de sucre avec des notes de grains de malt. Mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture aqueuse et aux notes vineuses. Goût fruité assez aigre (cerises sûres, léger de raisins rouges) avec quelques notes de levures sauvages lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute des notes de grains de malt sucrés puis en finale l’on retrouve des notes herbeuses (herbes mouillées) ainsi que des notes vineuses avec des traces d’alcool. Post-goût moyen-court, légèrement aigre de fruits (moût de raisins vineux, traces de moût de cerises).

Pours a clear red-rose with no head. Simple nose of small bay fruits and tasted like...koolaid. No body, no taste, no aftertaste. Really tasted like water and some fruit extract. What is this beer !!!! I can’t understand how this brewery is still in business brewing awful beers from concentrated hop must imported from Belgium.

situated at a beuatiful farmhouse brewery lies the producers of a foul beer, I did not find this beer to be pleasant although interesting concept I can taste sulfur a little too strongly, a beautiful bright red pour and the light flavor hints at something refreshing just a little too much sanitizer in the bottle I think, hopefully the other ones are good.

Boutip (3458) - Gatineau, Quebec, CANADA - MAR 31, 2009
Bottle: Poured a clear bright red color ale with a bubbly head with no retention or lacing. Aroma of light sweet cherry with some light funk. Taste is a bad mix between some infected base beer with some sour grapes. Thin body with limited carbonation. I though this was a very unbalanced mess with some sour notes which could be involuntary...

rodenbach99 (1915) - Longueuil, Quebec, CANADA - FEB 14, 2009
bouteille de 500ml au prix exorbitant de 6,29$. Bière rouge comme du jus de cerises pas de mousse. Plein de grumeaux dans le 2ème verre. Pas de mousse. Nez acide de jus fermenté. Bouche acide de mauvais jus de fruit fermenté. mauvais produit. impossible de ne pas rire en lisant la contre étiquette. grand potentiel de vieillissement, gout de cerise, cassis (sic)...
