Bottle: Poured a flat yellow color ale with no carbonation no head and subsequently no lacing. Aroma of sour malt is disgusting. Taste is a mix between some sour malt with some notes of chemically sweet malt. Thin body with no carbonation. The fact that I had a fresh bottle makes me wonder how bad an aged bottle f this can be…

Originally rated May 2006. Purchased at the Dépanneur de la Rive in Cap-Rouge, Quebec. Pours a hazy golden colour with a small white head that dissipates fast enough. No lacing left behind. Very active tiny-bubbled carbonation from the bottom of the glass. The nose starts off on the strong alcohol side, but ends up with some Belgian yeast, lemon and hints of spices. Watery mouthfeel with a fizzy moment. The taste is pretty close to its stronger brother, the Kamour Double (which I just had an few minutes before). Weak and lemony, pears and apples, trying hard but falling short. A tad more consistent and balanced as the Double version, but still bland.

UPDATED: JUL 4, 2010 It seems somebody wanted to merge a "Flandres" with a "Witbier". Pretty much like putting salt in maple syrup, to give it more of a kick. Utterly pointless.

Bottle left over from BQ09. Probably better describes as a Berliner weisse. Seriously underrated. Tons of tart lemons.. Zero head.

UPDATED: FEB 18, 2011 Bottle split with Andrew and Ryan. Pours a hazy yellow/orange body with slight white foamy head. Aroma is strong tart. The mouthfeel is tart, some sour, finishes quick.

This is perhaps the worst head I’ve ever seen. Looks like soda pop over fresh ice, except smaller. Soon there are no remnants of bubbles Iron aroma. Not attractive. No typical beer smells. What is this? Almost tastes like cider. Any wheat flavor present is dominated by sourness that reminds me of extreme candy. I keep taking sips hoping to find something positive to say. This is perhaps the worst beer I’ve ever had.

Had all of the unpleasant qualities of a wheat beer, i.e. funky ester/fruit flavors, and none of the good qualities. There was a subtle lemon flavor, but it’s like the yeast went rogue in the bottle and decided to take all the good flavor hostage. Not terrible, but probably not worthy of a revisit.

UPDATED: FEB 22, 2010 Absolutely nothing good to say about this one. It might have been infected though. Just awfull. Very Sour.

Bouteille. Mousse qui explose hors de la bouteille, col vraiment trop généreux, couleur laiteuse-jaunâtre, voilée. Arôme présent de blé, levures et agrumes. Goût de blé, levures, légèrement agrumé, finale beaucoup trop astringente presque insupportable. Effervescence forte, mais douce, corps moyen. Euh, je ne suis pas réconcilié avec Breughel encore une fois... Problèmes de contrôle qualité ?

Peu de broue. Un peu d’effervescence. Un goût acre. Je préfère une blanche plus douce.
